Nearly 1 in 2 hirers expect active job market in H1 2024

However, they are less optimistic by the second half due to economic uncertainty.

Around 45% of hirers in Singapore are confident that the job market in the country will be more active in the first half of the year, according to a report by JobStreet.

This figure reflects the hirers’ optimism of more hiring and active job hunting.

However, the optimism declined for the second half of the year to 32%.

“This decline is attributed to a higher degree of uncertainty, with 20% of hirers mentioning their uncertainty about the job market's outlook during that period–which could be influenced by various factors, including economic conditions and global events,” JobStreet read.

The number of vacancies rose with job openings peaking at 126,000 as of March 2022. This declined gradually to 78,400, according to JobStreet, citing data from the Ministry of Manpower.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
