Job postings hit 4-year low in April 2025: Indeed

Year-on-year, it fell to 16.6%.

Job postings in Singapore fell 2.7% in April, marking the fourth consecutive month of decline and the lowest since May 2021, Indeed reported.

Year-on-year, postings fell 16.6% and approximately 41% below their pandemic-era peak.

According to Indeed, growth in logistics support job postings slowed from 10.9% in March to 5.9% in April, whilst demand for data analytics professionals surged, rising from fourth to second among top-performing job categories.

Meanwhile, job postings in almost every sector remain above their pre-pandemic baseline, with postings in 14% of sectors more than double pre-pandemic levels.

“While job creation in Singapore is gradually cooling, the labour market remains resilient. Low unemployment and persistent skill shortages suggest underlying strength—but many businesses are holding their breath in a world clouded by economic and geopolitical uncertainty,” Callam Pickering, APAC Senior Economist at Indeed, said.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
