Local start-ups and SMEs are most likely to hire tech talents in areas such as engineering and cloud technology.
Start-ups and small-medium enterprises (SMEs) are deemed to drive the greatest demand for IT professionals in Singapore.
A recent Randstad report revealed that various government initiatives have led to an increasing demand for skills in areas such as full-stack, Java and mobile development as well as hybrid skills.
Associate Director for IT at Randstad Singapore, Daljit Sall, shared that the strong demand for engineers, developers and designers are a result of the rising usage of mobiles and growth of cloud technology locally.
“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 Sall.
Additionally, this has led SMEs to recruit the best tech talents in Singapore and Asia-Pacific.
