As per PrimeStaff’s Employment Outlook Report for the first quarter of 2014, due to the positive economic expansion in the preceding quarters of 2013, low unemployment rates and increased hiring activities for jobs in Singapore, are expected in 2014.
“Most hiring activities in the previous quarter were largely for ‘replacement’ roles, while hiring in Q1 2014 will be geared more towards new hires to drive business growth,” the company’s managing director Ronald Lee said.
There will be an increase in demand for Singaporeans and Permanent Residents (PRs) as the “clampdown on the hiring of foreigners intensifies.”
