Talent mismatch shrank by 8% in May

The results were slightly higher than those of the US and Canada.

Talent mismatch in Singapore, defined as the imbalance between job seekers and postings, has narrowed by 8% over the past four years to 36% in May 2019, job site Indeed revealed.

The results were comparable to that of the United Kingdom, but lower than Australia's and slightly higher than those of the United States and Canada.

The role with the biggest shortage of talent is software engineer, followed by sales executive then business development manager. Indeed noted that this is less of a problem for the nation, which has an unemployment rate of 2.2%.

Meanwhile, the job with the biggest shortage of job opportunities is customer service representative (CSR), followed by driver then teacher.

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.
