11 highly sought-after roles in 2018 and beyond: Hays

SINGAPORE (Jan 3): The fourth industrial revolution is upon us to transform the way we work, with the inevitable automation of certain jobs and aspects of roles; the creation of entirely new roles; and the demand for the latest skills set to increase.

This is according to Hays CEO, Alistair Cox, who, in his latest blog post on LinkedIn, offers his thoughts on the jobs and skills that he expects to see in 2018 and beyond.

Looking ahead, Cox sees an “explosion in new roles around artificial intelligence (AI) and data and a relentless demand for specific soft skills” as opposed to “sensationalist headlines predicting the demise of the human worker”.
