Here are Singapore's 2022 top 10 talent trends

Hays Singapore said sustainability is one of the top themes among the trends.

Hays Specialist Recruitment released its Hays Singapore Top Ten Trends for 2022, which underlines sustainability to be a part of the return-to-growth strategy in 2022.

Businesses are expected to step up efforts to address climate and sustainability challenges in their business strategies.

"Singapore has been making gradual progress towards sustainability over the years. But, last year, there was a noticeable urgency in the way we approach sustainability. As a result, businesses with long-term ESG-centric (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategies and robust and transparent sustainability reporting found themselves to be in prime position compared to competitors despite the disruption from the pandemic," said Regional Director Kirsty Hulston.

"Sustainability will now be entrenched in business strategies beyond 2022. Strategic and operation roles with a focus on ESG are predicted to increase especially in the finance and supply chain sectors."

Here are Hays Singapore's top ten talent trends in 2022:

  1. Spotlight on sustainability in 2022
  2. More ESG roles in Banking and Financial Services companies
  3. Talent acquisition specialists needed as hiring increases
  4. Logistics operators to focus on supply chain optimisation
  5. Hypergrowth expected in the Technology sector
  6. Consistent demand for Flexible Recruitment
  7. Revolution imminent in Life Sciences
  8. Customer-Centric Marketing will come to the fore
  9. Social Selling and Customer Success rising in prominence
  10. Candidates prioritise companies with hybrid work models
