Which jobs are still seeing growth in Singapore?

This is amidst the overall drop of 2.5% in job postings.

Job postings in 20% of occupational categories, including marketing, saw significant growth despite an overall decline.

Whilst Singapore job postings fell by 2.5% in August, reversing July’s gains and standing 11.8% lower than a year ago, certain occupational categories saw notable growth, according to Indeed.

Marketing roles led the surge in job postings with a 38% increase over the past three months, followed by veterinary (+28%) and sports (+15%) positions. Human resources also experienced growth, with job postings up by 11%.

However, some categories experienced sharp declines. Childcare job postings fell by 53%, cleaning and sanitation dropped by 33%, social science positions decreased by 30%, and security and public safety roles saw a 27% decline. These drops align with recent trends in the market over the past three months.

Job postings remain 56% higher than pre-pandemic levels, with the majority of sectors still maintaining a robust presence above baseline levels. Despite the hiring slowdown in some areas, competition for talent across industries continues to drive demand in key roles.

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.
