Singapore start-ups to launch aggressive tech hiring spree in 2016

IT specialists are in great demand.

Start-ups and small-medium enterprises (SMEs) will have an almost-insatiable demand for IT professionals in 2016, according to recruitment firm Randstad.

In particular demand are developers with solid mobile experience, as firms look to capitalise on the rapid adoption of smartphones in Singapore. Firms are also on the lookout for IT specialists with skills in full-stack, Java and mobile development, as well as hybrid skills in UI/UX and cloud evangelists.

The surge in start-up hiring is fuelled by a spate of government initiatives, such as the Early Stage Venture Fund programme which has pumped $150 million into technology start-ups since 2008.

“This demand is leading to large skills gaps for senior level mobile developers and cloud security specialists, and companies are resorting to filling senior positions with candidates from around the APAC region,” said Dajit Sall, Associate Director for IT at Randstad Singapore.
