Online hiring up 3% in July

Jobs relating to cybersecurity, compliance, and analytics are in demand.

E-recruitment activity across industries in Singapore rose 3% YoY in July, mainly backed by the banking, financial services and insurance (BFSI), IT, and business process outsourcing (BPO) sectors, data from recruitment firm Monster revealed.

In July, the BFSI and IT sectors saw their online hiring grew by 20% whilst the BPO industries stepped up their hiring by 14%. Meanwhile, the advertising, market research, public relations, media and entertainment industry sustained its year-long rise in online hiring with a 6% growth rate.

The data found that skilled roles related to cybersecurity, compliance and analytics were the most in demand.

“With government incentives encouraging companies to adopt digital and automation, we expect to see more openings to meet the new technological demands across industries in the next few quarters,” Monster.com CEO for APAC and Middle East Abhijeet Mukherjee said.

For the shipping and marine industry, e-hiring contracted 2% YoY whilst government positions up for online hiring slipped 3%.

In the legal sector, demand grew by 9% YoY, closely followed by engineering & production at 8%. The finance & accounts recovered to a growth of 7% from a decline of 3% in June.

The customer service, sales & business development and HR & Admin recorded a 1% decline in e-hiring. Meanwhile, Healthcare was the worst performer with e-hiring falling 5% YoY in July.

You're the reader we write for. You're also the person our partners want to reach.

If that sentence describes you — a founder, a C-suite, someone whose attention companies pay good money for — then you already understand why SBR works. We've spent twenty years earning the trust of readers exactly like you. Which is exactly what makes this an interesting place for your company to show up, too.

The ways it can show up are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The right fit depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.

If your company has something this audience should know about, we'd like to hear what you're working on.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.

30 One-Sentence Stories From People Who Have Built Better Habits

None of these stories are mine. They were sent to me by readers of Atomic Habits. My hope is that these examples will illustrate how real people are putting the book into practice. They will show you what people are actually doing to build good habits and break bad ones. And hopefully, they will spark some ideas for how you can do the same.

SBR 5 Lorem Ipsum News 2 [8 May]

Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.
