SMEs eyeing more fresh grads to fill increasing number of vacancies

7 out of 10 firms are hiring.

Fresh graduates should have no difficulty clinching their first jobs after leaving university. A survey by jobsDB revealed that 70% of SMEs in Singapore are looking to increase headcount within the next six months, with the majority looking to fill entry level and junior executive roles.

Job prospects are especially favourable for new university graduates and diploma holders, with 66% and 75% of the SMEs surveyed looking to hire these candidates respectively.

The hiring index survey canvassed the opinions of over 300 SMEs in Singapore on their hiring plans and preferences. Only 10% have frozen headcount for the next six months, while 20% have no current hiring plans.

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.
