Jobseeker demand for remote work remains high in Singapore, yet employers are less likely to mention it in job ads. This mismatch highlights the challenges faced by employers in attracting suitable candidates.
The latter remain keenly interested in remote work, whereas employers are far less likely to mention 'work from home' in the job ads they post on jobs portal, Indeed.
By contrast, jobseeker interest in remote work remains elevated, with 3.5% of searches - or one in every 28 searches - using remote keywords. Outside of generic terms like 'full-time' or 'part-time', remote work and similar phrases are consistently among Singapore's most popular search terms. Pickering added that the Singapore economy contracted in the first quarter, and the decline in job postings, he noted, is the first real sign of that impacting the jobs market. Singapore's unemployment rate is still meagre at 1.8% but will likely drift higher over the remainder of the year.Over the past three months, there have been a few small pockets of improved hiring, such as the almost 34% rise in childcare postings and the 22% increase in security & public safety roles.
