As Singapore hiring activity picks up in 2022 and workers look to switch jobs, tech talent will especially be in demand, reports The Straits Times, citing research from Robert Walters and Randstad. In the tech and transformation industry in 2022, 85% of Singapore firms are giving pay rises, the highest among seven sectors covered by Robert Walters’ survey, matched only by the human resources sector. Meanwhile, Randstad noted that with the pandemic prompting a digital shift, demand for tech talent rose correspondingly in 2021. "And we don't see a slowdown happening in 2022," said Randstad Singapore senior director for technology recruitment Daljit Sall. He expects a "global acceleration in the movement of talent" over the next year or so as border restrictions relax, and more tech workers switch jobs. Even in other industries, such as banking and financial services, tech talent will be much sought after in areas such as cybersecurity and data analytics.
