Guess what Singapore employers will use to attract talents
Only 20% will bank on company reputation.
According to Michael Page Singapore H2 2013 Employment Pulse, 30% of surveyed employers said that competitive salaries will most likely be implemented as an attraction strategy, followed by scope for career development (26%) and promoting the company’s reputation (20%).
Salary continues to be the biggest push/pull factor in the local market – representative of the mindsets of the local audience.
The Michael Page Singapore business has observed new and innovative trends that employers are implementing to attract new talent, and social media is particularly popular.
Companies are creating corporate Facebook and LinkedIn pages that include the employer’s corporate mini-site, job postings and other channels to interact with professionals and create buzz with the opportunity to ‘like’, share or post content.
Also, a sign-on welcome bonus and referral schemes are other strategies Michael Page clients are implementing to attract new talent.
