Applicants wanted: Top jobs for 2H 2014 revealed

Is your career on the list?

Manpower shortage in the workforce is a bane to employers. But this curse is a blessing for many job-seekers, who find that hiring remains a priority in 2014.

A survey that polled 110 local and foreign-owned Singapore-based companies showed that in the past 12 months prior to 1 March 2014, 31% percent of the surveyed organisations recruited more than 20% of their workforce.

The survey, entitled Sustaining Organisation Effectiveness in an Ever Changing Business Environment, was conducted by the global management consultancy Hay Group.

The report further revealed the jobs that are in demand by employers this year. Engineering-related jobs and work related to administration, support and service take the lead at 12%. Jobs in sales round off the Top 3 at 10%.
