Companies are seen to have shifted their focus on business continuity, regaining their productivity, and mitigating business risk that they anticipate.
However, hiring for essential HR positions such as operations and payroll continue to grow steadily in the first half of 2020. Through research conducted via phone interviews with life sciences and FMCG companies in Singapore, we have also observed a 145% increase in demand for maternity covers for contracting roles between three and six month availability. However, the availability of permanent HR roles has decreased by 46% as compared to previous years.

In general, we have observed a decrease in job opportunities from traditional European and American multinational firms. However, there has been a greater demand for HR professionals from Asian multinational companies.
In particular, we have observed more hiring activities in SMEs and large businesses within the technology industry and from Chinese companies that are expanding their presence in Singapore. Candidates in the market favoured a role in Japanese organisations, as they were seen to be less affected by the downturn.
