3 reasons why Singapore bosses are on the prowl for new graduates

50% say they're 'easy to train'.

JobsDB announced the findings of its recent Hiring Index Survey that canvassed the opinions of 233 companies in Singapore on their hiring plans and preferences in the coming months.

Among other findings, the Survey uncovered that holding a University degree is not the determining factor in securing a job in Singapore.

Interestingly, the Survey revealed that 67% of respondents will be hiring in the next three months, and a further 40% reported they would hire foreign talent. 81% of available positions are for junior executives, followed by 52% for entry level, 35% for senior executives, 24% for managers and 11% for top senior management.

The top reasons for hiring new graduates are: ‘they are easy to train’ (50%), ‘they are able to cope with fast paced environments’ (46%), and ‘they are eager to learn’ (46%). Adversely, the top reasons for choosing not to hire fresh graduates include ‘no suitable vacancies’ (67%) and ‘having too high salary expectations’ (33%).
