More hiring activity expected amid economic growth: Randstad

SINGAPORE (Sept 11): Companies have started building on their human resources capabilities in order to manage expected organisational expansion amid steady GDP growth forecasts, according to recruitment firm Randstad.

Instead of a hiring boost typically seen between April and September every year, there has been a steady demand for human resources professionals so far in 2018, according to the agency in a quarterly market update for 2Q18.

Looking to expand their global footprint in Asia Pacific, the group says some American and European companies have made several key hires for senior-level management roles to strategise human capital plans and lead several HR teams within the region.
