Employers from these top 5 sectors eye boosting headcount in 2H

There'll be strong demand for support staff.

In a report, Michael Page has observed that the support area of companies will be the first to experience an increase in headcount, in particular
roles such as HR Business Partner and HR Talent Manager, as well as the IT, finance and sales and marketing functions.

According to half of surveyed employers in the human resources sector (50%), they are most likely to increase staff numbers in the second half of 2013.

The Michael Page Singapore business has also observed that hiring is strongest across other sectors including: retail and luxury goods, following openings of new shopping malls, oil and gas and offshore, with natural resources and new oil fields established in the region, property and construction, following an increase in demand for infrastructure (roads, bridges, airports, rail and water pipeline) and the boom in the hospitality sector resulting in resort and hotel development, aviation, following an increase of demand for budget airlines and the city being a hub for the region, and shipping, as Singapore’s port continues to be the world’s busiest in terms of shipping tonnage handled and new development in the west.
