Top 5 industries sure to hire in a bad market

Nearly 5 in 10 employees in Singapore are very likely to change jobs within the next 6 months.

According to Michael Page International’s Employees Intention Report, the professional employment market in Singapore continues to strengthen following 12 months of steady growth. It notes that there are more jobs available across professional occupation groups and employees are far less cautious about the risks of moving when compared to the conditions that existed during the global financial downturn.

Of the employees surveyed for this report, some 46% say it is very likely they will change jobs within the next six months.

Here’s more from Michael Page International:

Employees in the oil and gas industry, as well as in the property and construction industry are the most likely to change jobs in the coming months. The growing number of multinational companies expanding into Singapore is increasing the scope of employment opportunities for these professionals.

Sales employees are the least likely to move roles within the next six months.

Throughout 2010, most hiring activity was in front line areas in an effort to build revenue and increase market share. Now that the recovery is well underway, opportunities for sales professionals are stabilising as employers begin recruiting more broadly across their business.

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.
