Online hiring for finance, accounts roles sees grows 7% in March

Despite a pullback in demand.

Online hiring in Singapore’s banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI) is seeing a slight pick-up, according to the latest Monster Employment Index.

The MEI measures online job hiring activity monthly, and records industries and occupations that exhibit the highest and lowest growth in online recruitment activity in Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore.

Singapore saw a 7% YoY growth in online recruitment in the BFSI scene, reflecting an 11% improvement in hiring activities compared to the annual hiring numbers recorded between February 2015 and 2016.

In terms of finance and accounts roles, none of the three markets saw positive annual in online demand in March 2016. Singapore saw the least decline at -1% YoY, however.

Further, Singapore posted a 3% YoY uptick in overall online hiring in March, jumping from -7% YoY recorded in February 2016.
