What’s hot – and not – among Singapore’s online jobseekers

SINGAPORE (Aug 30): Fewer jobseekers in Singapore and Malaysia have the Internet to thank for getting hired, according the latest results of the Monster Employment Index.

“The finance sector in Singapore and Malaysia continues to face dampening demand,” notes Sanjay Modi, managing director of Monster.com – APAC and Middle East, in a Tuesday statement.

“As recruiters continue to scrutinise the need to add on to the current headcount, they are also considering alternative options such as the contract workforce to meet demands in the short-term.”
