Technology Recruitment Landscape in Singapore | EPS Recruitment Agency Singapore

Technology Recruitment Landscape in Singapore 2021

On both global and enterprise levels, technology plays an increasingly essential role on the path to success. The pace of global adoption of technology continues to pick up, fuelling disruptive innovation, streamlining outdated processes, and creating new possibilities.

Coupled with the outbreak of Covid-19, the drive towards digitalisation of business and consumer behaviour accelerates at a faster pace.

Now, more than ever, technology has become integral to the global economy in driving value creations and innovations. Businesses are investing heavily in digital transformation, prompting a huge surge in demand in the technology recruitment scene.

The shortage of technologists is a global phenomenon. A demonstrable issue faced by many companies is the lack of tech talents to bring great technology inventions and ideas to fruition.

Businesses find it increasingly challenging to recruit technology talents with the right technical skillset for the intended roles. The conundrum around the tech talent shortage is now a rising concern.
