Top 10 hiring trends in Singapore for 2018, according to Hays

SINGAPORE (Dec 6): Hays Singapore has published a list of what it foresees to be the top 10 talent trends of 2018, in light of a fast-changing workforce environment and continued economic growth.

In a press release on Tuesday, the recruitment firm says organisations can plan to extract greater value from both people and technology in the year ahead to take advantage of positive conditions in the following ways. 

According to Hays, industries facing high cost pressures – such as banking, life sciences and manufacturing – would do well to make use of contingent workers in 2018 across a greater range of functions. This means high-performing contractors have the potential to command good salaries in the year ahead with the chance of converting to a permanent role.
