3. The aggressive expansion of global companies looking to access
BRICS*, ASEAN and Australasian markets with their wealth of
resources, consumers and technological knowhow has placed the
knowledge of how to source, attract, retain and develop talent firmly
at the top of corporate boardrooms’ agendas.
The APAC region is home to more than 4.2 billion people, over
half the world’s population, with China and India alone accounting
for almost 40% of this figure. People and potential labour pools
are in abundant supply, in principle, but this availability of labour
contrasts sharply with the availability of what we have come to term
as “talent”. These experienced professionals with niche knowledge,
specialist skill sets and leadership capability continue to be highly
sought after across all industry categories and role functionalities
across the region.
Continued strong demand for talent drove employee turnover
rates up to an estimated 14.1% across APAC during 2011. Whilst
there is a slight softening in demand from previous year, 2012 is
showing that there is still profound competition in all countries for
knowledge workers. Talent scarcity in specialist areas of Engineering,
Accountancy, Technology and Financial Services, has heightened in
the light of a continual overall downward trend in unemployment
rates, which are anticipated to approach 7% by 2013.
Other factors that enter the mix include a spate of tragic
natural disasters in 2011 precipitating mammoth post disaster
reconstruction plans, which are expected to boost investment
spending in 2012 and beyond. Our expectation however is that this
may be offset by more moderate private sector hiring, particularly in
countries with high exposure to export demand.
Hiring is still expected to grow despite the new challenges emerging
in 2012, with inflation edging up and capacity shortages starting to
limit expansion.
This growth will exacerbate wage pressures in all countries and
employers should expect to increase employee pay rates or find
other creative solutions in response to these talent dynamics, if they
are serious about attracting and retaining critical skill sets within
their organisations.
Therefore we expect to see the APAC labour markets hold a steady
upward trajectory as we progress through 2012. This may not be
as steep as previous years but the region will continue to lead the
world’s economic growth.
Against this backdrop APAC professionals with niche skills, critical
knowledge and evolved leadership credentials can expect to see
more than modest salary increases across the region, particularly
in the more developing economies, where employers must hike
salaries to keep pace with inflation and to attract and keep hold
of their talent. This will continue to place enormous pressure on
employers from a cost and people retention perspective.

In spite of a growing local economy, the willingness
of Australian businesses to build capacity continues
to be dampened by instability and economic
volatility in Europe, the Middle East, and the
United States.
Accounting and Finance
The impact of the international debt crisis has
directly impacted the accounting and finance sector,
with the entire sector being cautious. Jobs continue
to be shed as companies consolidate, move back-
office processes offshore to drive down costs and
aUSTRALIA
NATIONAL
OVERVIEW
simply downsize. This trend will continue until the
middle of this year when it is expected to stabilise.
Early 2012 has seen resurgence in mid to long
term contract engagements in lieu of permanent
hiring activity.
Banking and Financial Services
Banks, in particular, are shredding numbers from
their finance and IT departments with the back
office being worst hit. There are some bright
points however. Demand for roles with experience
in risk and compliance is growing in response to
tightening governance rules and regulations. There
is still strong hiring activity in areas such as credit,
wealth management, financial planning, private
and corporate banking. Some areas of corporate
finance remain steady and, although not hiring
as aggressively as last year, they continue to offer
opportunities to the right level of candidates. In
2012, the career focal point for experienced bankers
will shift dramatically from Europe and the Americas
to the Asia Pacific region.
Information Technology
The IT industry has stabilised with more job openings
available for skilled candidates in 2012. Roles that
are increasingly in demand include application
testing, storage and data centre management. Banks
continue to create much of the demand for IT roles
even though they are moving many development
projects offsite. This is largely because much of the
strategy, architecture, maintenance and program
development work remains in Australia.

Engineering
Mining sector
As the Australian mining industry continues to
boom, employers are looking for people who have
core engineering skills as well as on-site mining
experience. There is ongoing strong demand for
workers right across every part of the mining sector,
from blue collar through to senior management.
Finding qualified employees to meet this demand
will remain a challenge for the mining sector for the
foreseeable future.
Civil engineering and infrastructure sector
Increasing population growth in Australian capitals
and satellite cities is putting extra pressure on public
infrastructure such as rail links, roads, health and
education. Funding these basic public services will
remain a key priority for government, which will
underpin steady job growth in this sector.
Construction sector
The construction jobs market has steadily declined
post Australian Government stimulus packages. The
commercial fit out and refurbishment sub sector is
particularly struggling and it is not uncommon to
find businesses that employed 30 staff two years ago
to have cut back to less than ten. Employers are now
relying on contractors to meet short-term peaks in
work. This is expected to continue at least for the
first half of 2012.
Architecture
There is an emerging skills gap in this sector with
many experienced architects not trained to use
REVIT, the dominant 3D modelling and design
software. As a result, graduates with a high degree
of skill in this and similar software, are being
increasingly sought after.
Mechanical & Electrical
While the high Australian dollar and resulting
decrease in exports in the high tech manufacturing
industry has led to an uncertain start, the overall
skill shortage in M&E means that this sector will
continue to be relatively buoyant for 2012. Industries
associated with the mining and resources boom will
continue to grow rapidly during the year.
Scientific
A significant shift toward the use of temporary and
contract staff has been one of the standout changes
to the scientific industry over the past twelve months
as funding sources become less reliable. Demand
for temporary or contract staff continues to climb
across all industries, particularly the chemical,
pharmaceutical and food/beverage manufacturing
sectors.
Hiring levels for permanent staff have remained
relatively stable throughout 2011. However there
are marked differences state by state. A significant
demand gap has opened up between Western
Australia/South Australia and the Eastern states.
Most notable is the slight decline for permanent
positions in Victoria throughout 2011.

Although the China recruitment outlook is positive,
there is an overall slowdown from last year. The
National Peoples Congress (NPC) has set a 7.5%
growth target and highlighted seven ‘Strategic
Emerging Industries’ where we expect to see an
upswing in recruitment over the coming year,
namely: Clean Energy, Next Generation IT, Biotech,
High End Equipment Manufacturing, Alternative
Energy and New Energy Vehicles. 2012 sees both
domestic and multinational companies in competition
for the best talent.
China
NATIONAL
OVERVIEW
General Industrial &
Manufacturing
We see weakening in hiring in this segment, with
many companies being cautious about their hiring
plans in the second quarter. Demand for sales talent
is now increasing compared to marketing roles
particularly at junior level. Senior technical roles are
‘hot’ this year with Chinese companies increasingly
trying to attract more multinational talent. The
government extension of policies on rebates on
electronics and appliances should continue to
support increased sales, resulting in more companies
establishing manufacturing inland in Central and
Western China.
The NPC has prioritised green industries including
wind and solar power, high-end manufacturing and
aerospace manufacturing as strategic emerging
industries, so we can expect strong demand in 2012
to support this growth.
Automotive
The automotive segment continues to grow, but
much more slowly than 2011. The luxury vehicle
market is expected to decline this year whilst
the budget segment will become increasingly
competitive. JV companies are producing vehicles to
sell under local Chinese brands which compete with
domestic manufacturers. New MNC automotive parts
companies are establishing plants in tier two cities
like Chengdu, with increased hiring uptake expected
this year end into 2013.

Chemical
Despite some dampening in the last half of 2011, we
are seeing continued investment since the New Year
hiring strategy reviews, hence growth remains stable.
Strategic and project roles are in demand in this
sector and supply chain, R&D, strategic marketing
and sales roles remain highly sought after. Chemical
firms are trying hard to retain rather than merely
recruit and save on hiring spend but key specialist
skill sets and niche knowledge in the sector will still
be targeted.
Healthcare and Life Science
Hospital reforms and increased insurance and
medical services will provide a challenging
environment as the local pharmaceutical and medical
device sectors grow and prices are expected to
drop. Biotechnology is also one of the NPC’s key
focus sectors and is expected to continue to recruit
aggressively this year.
Banking and Financial Services
The global economic uncertainty and ensuing
controls have driven down overall recruitment,
especially in foreign firms, however some job profiles
are experiencing an upturn, including risk functions
which are in demand from both local and MNC
banks. Chinese banks face capital stress after the
Basel III launch in China and banks need to be more
stringent to meet these requirements which in turn
will create competition for talent.
Consumer
Recruitment in the retail and the luxury sectors
continues to accelerate in China in 2012. The overall
trend is encouraging with store operations, and
sales and marketing roles being most in demand.
A burgeoning middle class coupled with enhanced
spending capability, particularly in the luxury goods
sector, have created high levels of demand for
talented sales professionals with strong contact
networks and a track record of excellence in business
development.
Information Technology
IT recruitment is experiencing particularly strong
growth with increasing numbers of MNCs relocating
their R&D centres taking advantage of China’s
relatively lower labour cost and skilled local talent.
Roles which are in demand this year include first line
developers, testers, architects, project managers
and also strategic and management level roles.
Next Generation IT jobs will be in demand as the
sector becomes further developed and its
potential explored.
Despite dampening demand in some sectors , in
relative terms, China will still see overall strong
growth and will continue to have to develop and
attract both domestic and international specialist
knowledge foreseeably.

The return of market confidence in 2010 has
helped to stir up the local job market in the past
two years. However the concerns brought by the
Euro zone crisis have given employers second
thoughts at the start of 2012, about engaging in
new hiring. Companies are elongating the decision
making processes and choosing to defer new hiring
to later parts of the year as they watch to see
the true extent of the crisis and its impact on the
global economy.
The hesitation of new hiring is reflected more in
the financial industry and companies within the
B2B sectors. However, the war for talent remains
strong in the retail sector. Overall, unlike the
pre-global financial crisis, companies in general are
not offering “mega” compensation packages to
attract, which makes the talent attraction challenging
for employers.
Banking & Financial Services
With financial instability sweeping the world,
international banks are the worst hit in the local
job market. However, mainland Chinese financial
institutions remain as the driving engine in
expansion. With new branches opening in the
territory, relationship managers with proven track
records are in high demand. Unlike a few years ago,
more banking professionals are now creating new
career horizons with Chinese banks.
Despite this global turbulence some financial
services disciplines still remain robust and we
expect to see buoyancy in insurance, wealth
management and private banking segments
creating opportunities across the sales and
marketing disciplines. The tightening of regulatory
requirements will also see a need for compliance
professionals with both external and internal audit
skills. Hong Kong is still largely seen as the Asian
trading hub, where there is a need for a variety of
trade support roles and client services disciplines.

Information Technology
The rapid rate of technological change and greater
demands in bottom line cost savings continues
to push businesses to place a huge focus on IT
enablement. As such the market for IT developers
with strong industry and domain knowledge prevails.
Despite the 2011 crisis where many projects in the
banking and financial services sector were put on
hold, skilled IT professionals with two to five years
experience are still in high demand within the
Hong Kong market. The substantial reduction in
student enrolment taking up IT in local universities
in recent years has created a shortage of home-
grown IT professionals in the market. This has in
turn created wage pressures for companies looking
to engage mid career IT talent. Another noticeable
trend is the resurgence in the use of contract IT
professionals as an alternative to address the ad-hoc
requirements as well as to minimize the FTE growth.
UNIX and network administration being areas of high
deployment of this labour type.

The GDP growth for 2012 is pegged at 7% with
an estimate of over 200 million people between
the working ages of 18-60 years being added to
the workforce in the next two decades. According
to the India Chamber of Commerce, the Indian
economy will create 87.37 million jobs by 2015.
Over the next decade, India will have over 125
million college-educated professionals and an equal
number of vocationally trained people. The speed
of India’s sustained growth is necessitating a need
of 500 million skilled people to enter the market.
This is a definitive precursor for a talent war
which will ultimately drive up business costs. The
problem of ‘plenty’ needs to be resolved by up
skilling an anticipated 250 million people over
this decade.
Information Technology
India’s IT industry is fast reaching the 100 billion
dollar mark and it is still growing in double digits,
creating a substantial number of new jobs. The
Indian IT industry is expected to add in excess of
240,000 new jobs and as expected IT companies
have set aggressive targets for graduate and lateral
hiring in 2012.
This year, IT companies are expected to be more
stable in their hiring plans than last year as most
companies have already factored in economic
turbulences. Banking and financial institutions
and IT companies servicing this sector continue
to be one of the largest IT talent employers.
Telecommunications is also expected to continue
hiring in 2012 as increased infrastructure and
connectivity buoyed by a growing consumer demand
is seeing growth in this sector. Skill sets in emerging
areas like cloud computing and e-commerce will
be highly sought after as companies realise the
potential impact of these advanced technologies on
their future business.

OVERVIEW

India
Engineering
Engineering is the largest sector in overall industrial
segments in India. The sector employs more than
five million skilled and semi skilled workers. India is
rapidly investing in infrastructure to connect the vast
country and witnessing large amounts of foreign
investment in the power and automotive sectors in
particular.
Oil & Gas
India’s oil and gas sector holds strategic importance
in the economy as it meets around 42% of the
country’s primary energy demand and contributes
over 15% to the gross domestic product (GDP).
With an interesting mix of private and government
companies, the industry is scaling new heights in
domestic and international markets. India is the
world’s fifth-largest energy consumer; oil accounts for
30% of the total energy consumption.
Locating new fields for exploration will increase
the demand for skilled labour and oilfield services
both in upstream & downstream sectors. All these
unexplored rigs will require substantial manpower
support to keep the industry running. The oil and
gas industry is looking forward to deploy innovative
technologies to locate and extract oil. This has
resulted in significant rise in the demand for
petroleum engineers and geo-scientists worldwide.
Automotive
The automotive industry in India has been growing
at a rapid pace in both the OEM and ancillary
segments resulting in strong demand across a
variety of skill sets. New technologies entering the
Indian market will create intensified demand for
R&D professionals. Increased export levels of cars
compared to 2011 coupled with further investments
in India from companies like Ford, Bosch and
Chrysler will increase the need to employ skilled
automobile engineers, quality professionals and
create opportunities across the supply chain
industry accordingly.
Power & Infrastructure
India accounts for 4% of global power generation,
and has the fifth largest generation capacity in the
world with an overall installed capacity of 159,398.50
mega watt (MW) as on March 31, 2010. The total
installed generation capacity in the country as on
September 20, 2011 stood at 182,344.62 MW,
with thermal power contributing 118,695.98 MW,
nuclear 4,780.00 MW and hydro power 38,706.40
MW, according to Central Electricity Authority data.
Infrastructure sector in India has witnessed rapid
growth in its different sectors with the development
of urbanisation and increased involvement of foreign
investments in this field. The Government of India
has taken various steps to develop the infrastructure.
Engineering Services
The engineering services sector deals with design,
manufacturing and operation of structures, machines
or devices. This is the largest of all industrial sectors
and accounts for 12% of the GDP. Engineering
exports grew by 94% and 60% during Q1 & Q2
respectively in 2011. Indeed the engineering design
market is estimated to be around US$40 billion
by 2020 with many European OEMs establishing
their design and engineering back offices in India.
This will move several job opportunities for design,
hardware & software engineers to the region
and thus creating enormous demand in this
talent segment.

Interest in the archipelago has led to many new
companies investing and expanding their footprint in
Indonesia. This growth focus has created challenges
in talent management across most industries –
specifically how to recruit, retain and develop
talent in a country anecdotally labelled as “the
missing BRIC.”
banking and Financial Services
The banking sector has both broadened and
deepened and interest rates continue to sink. These
factors have combined to boost the already growing
demand for financial services, from microcredit to
mezzanine finance. Volume of lending continues
to increase in 2012 with loans to SMEs being a
core driver of growth. This is creating a need for
experienced talent across the whole middle and
back office within this sector
Consumer Goods
The FMCG industry is expected to have double
digit growth this year. As the FMCG market in
Indonesia is becoming more appealing, more
foreign direct investment is finding its way to
the country. It is clear that more products will be
produced and pushed to market which is creating
demand for marketing and sales professionals,
coupled with a need for technical skill sets across
manufacturing and supply chain management.
This has a relational impact on companies servicing
this sector.
Information Technology
Improvements in Indonesia’s telecoms and ICT
infrastructure are expected to drive long-term
growth in the Indonesian IT services market.
Commercial data centres are being built, linked to
growing rollout by public sector and commercial
organisations of e-government or e-commerce
services. However, most opportunities are still
in fundamental service areas such as system
integration, support systems, training, professional
services, and outsourcing and internet services,
with demand for a mixture of employment types,
from permanent through to contract and
temporary professionals.

INdonesia
47. 45Figures are in IDR and represent 13 months annual salary
Telecommunications
The growth of the telecommunications industry this
year is estimated to range between 8% to 9%. The
main driving force being competition by five major
carriers of the 10 operators who hold an estimated
90% market share of the telecommunication industry
in Indonesia. The telecommunication industry still
requires a lot of specialised talent due to strong
growth in line with the expansion hence skill sets
such as RF Engineers and other technical services
will continue to be highly prized.
Pharmaceutical
The Indonesian pharmaceutical market is projected
to grow at a high single-digit CAGR in US dollar
terms during the forecast period, and it will be
the sixth largest pharmaceutical market in the
Asia Pacific region by 2016. In 2010, there were
around 250 pharmaceutical manufacturers, with the
vast majority located in Java. Despite the country
possessing huge manufacturing capabilities, the
lack of R&D within local companies could affect the
market, especially if IPR regulations are tightened,
requiring all drugs to be originated in Indonesia.
Potentially this is bad news for multinational
companies but it could potentially reduce costs
in the long term for both the manufacturer and
the consumer. Resultantly the need for R&D talent
will surge as well as that for specialist chemical
manufacturing expertise.
Energy
Energy consumption in Indonesia has been increasing
rapidly, to meet the growing demands among
various sectors, in particular the transportation
and manufacturing sector, who boast the highest
consumption levels of all industries. Coal production
is set to surge in 2012 as coal miners bolster their
businesses and several new mines commence
production. Indonesia’s production of thermal and
coking coal is forecast to hit 380 million tons in 2012,
up 5.5% on this year’s estimate, which will create
demand for all level of mining engineers, health and
safety and environmental specialists
Overall Indonesia can look forward to robust growth
across all their major markets. The challenge will be
the need for highly skilled talent as its position on
the global economic stage is realised.

The Malaysian economy is projected to grow
by 4% to 5% this year, with domestic demand
remaining the anchor of growth, as it has been
over the past few years despite the global
environment remaining challenging. The growth
for 2012 will moderate to between 4% and
5% after expanding by 5.1% last year but the
steady pace of growth will largely depend on
external developments. Regardless, talent scarcity
remains an issue the economy has to contend with.
Malaysia’s aspiration is to advance towards
becoming a high-income, high value-added
economy in the next decade, with growth that is
underpinned by greater innovation, productivity and
enhanced efficiency. Key initiatives to address this
area are in the areas of human capital development,
developing a conducive and competitive business
environment and establishing the required physical
infrastructure for a modern economy.
Accounting and Finance
The increasing trend of Malaysian corporations
venturing abroad to leverage on joint partnership
and expansion of business globally has resulted in
fundamental measures to support the presence of
domestic businesses globally. Given the importance
of having appropriate risk management practices to
the financial health of companies, middle to senior
levels of auditors, accountants, and credit managers
are in continually sought after.
There is also a continued demand for business
partners who can value add in terms of providing
sound business advice and acumen due to stricter
internal controls via expense management and push
for profitability.
Banking and Financial Services
The development of talent for the financial sector
continues to present considerable challenges for
the industry as demand continues to exceed supply.
In the medium to longer term, this can increase
pressure on wages, and could undermine the ability
of financial institutions to maintain competitive
positions and effectively control risks.
Malaysia
NATIONAL
OVERVIEW
55. 53Figures are in MYR and represent base salary only
The foreign exchange market experienced robust
growth during the year with Malaysian financial
markets continuing to support the effective and
efficient intermediation of funds for economic
activity, diversifying domestic funding sources which
contribute to financial stability. For 2011, growth in
total financing by the banking system to businesses
remained strong, increasing at a faster pace of
13.5% (2010: 9.4%)
Engineering and Technical
The construction sector is projected to record a
stronger growth with a projected rate of 6.6%
compared with 3.5% in 2011, supported by the
implementation of major infrastructure projects
and the special stimulus package. This robust
performance benefitted both the fabricated metal
and non-metallic mineral product industries.
However, civil engineering and special trade
sub-sectors registered a slower growth following
completion of several major highway projects,
maintenance and upgrading works.
Capital investments in the resource-based industries
and new growth areas encompassing renewable
energy, oil and gas, utilities and advanced electrical
and electronic products provides opportunities
for continued demand for engineers and technical
workforce. The higher demand for natural gas from
Japan provided opportunities of employment at
processing plants and facilities in Peninsula Malaysia.
Human Resources
As the role of HR practitioners transform from
a transactional to a transformational scope, the
demand for HR specialist handling a full spectrum
of HR activities continues. As more companies are
focusing on hiring the right talent to compete within
their industry and markets, there is an unabated
demand for Human Resources professionals with
a focus on areas such as compensation & benefits,
learning & development and talent acquisition and
retention.
Information Technology
The communication sub-sector growth was led
mainly by the continued expansion in the broadband
segment. The broadband penetration rose to 62.3%
of households at end 2011 as a result of wider
and improved coverage by key industry players.
Expansion into rural areas boosted the higher
broadband penetration rate due to provision of
broadband facilities and this resulted in continued
hiring demand for ICT job positions. In promoting
e-payments as a viable alternative to paper-based
payment, IT professionals in the middle level space
continued to be in demand. Contracting is expected
to pick up in the IT industry where roles such as
project managers, technical architect, infrastructure
managers and software specialists will be required
to meet the development of offering on mobile
banking, payment services via a multi-bank and
mobile network-neutral infrastructure.
Procurement, Supply Chain
and Logistics
In line with the moderation in trade and
manufacturing-related activity, the transportation
and storage, and utilities sub-sector recorded a
modest expansion. Demand for cargo-related
transport services was lower amid the weakness in
external demand and reduction in exports and the
weaker performance in the manufacturing sector.
With organizations placing a higher importance in
improving processes and productivity, mid and senior
management positions such as project managers,
operations directors and supply/demand/inventory
planners are in demand.
Sales and Marketing
Sales talent with strong performance track records
are still sought after, as companies compete for
bigger and wider share of the markets. Commission-
based packages are favoured for sales workforce
while brand managers, marketing directors, channel
managers continue to be in demand as companies
extend marketing and advertising campaigns
beyond conventional and traditional advertising,
moving into digital and online marketing.

With slower than expected economic performance,
sliding consumer confidence and a complex
international picture of patchy recovery, New
Zealand businesses are continuing to take a cautious
approach to building capacity. However, a significant
expected boost from the Canterbury post earthquake
recovery, as well as ongoing strength in several
key sectors, is seeing some short-term growth
and considerable expected demand over the
coming years.
The recovery of Christchurch after the devastating
earthquakes in 2010 – 2011 is likely to exert
significant pressure on the job market across the
new zealand
NATIONAL
OVERVIEW
whole country at the end of 2012, with upwards of
30,000 workers required not just in the construction
industry, but also in a wide range of specialist and
support areas – from local government planning and
engineering, to finance, administration and HR.
Accounting and finance
As in most OECD countries, the New Zealand
accounting and finance sector is continuing to
manage the fallout from the international debt crisis.
After a number of years of restructuring, and the
influence of a considerable change in consumer
debt patterns and business investment, the industry
is yet to stabilise, with jobs still to be shed. The
performance of the sector in Australia, where many
of New Zealand’s major financial institutions and large
enterprises are headquartered, also continues to
restrict hiring intentions.
Information Technology
After weathering much of the recession with
little impact, the IT sector has returned strongly
to growth, outperforming most other industries
outside the agri-business sector. Convergence in
smart devices, consumerism, hi-tech manufacturing,
and bioinformatics and strong swelling in the
gaming and digital content domain is seeing the
IT sector enhancing its credentials dramatically
both domestically and internationally. This growth
transformation and all round solid performance
has been reflected in continued skills shortages
across all categories of knowledge workers. Areas of
particularly critical scarcity include programming and
development disciplines.
65. 63Figures are in NZD and represent base salary only
In addition, there will be 75,000 new specialised
manager jobs by 2018, including
• Production and Operation Managers
• Finance and Administration Managers
• Human Resources Managers
• Sales and Marketing Managers
• Supply and Distribution Managers
• Information Technology Managers
• Research and Development Managers
This growth will inevitably create competition and
wage pressure in these areas for the foreseeable
future.
Engineering
The Canterbury recovery is likely to exert the
biggest influence over the demand for experienced
engineering sector candidates over the next 12 – 24
months.
Civil engineering and infrastructure
In addition to a significant investment in the
redevelopment of Christchurch’s badly damaged
infrastructure, both local and central government
investment is planned in major transport initiatives,
particularly in Wellington and Auckland. A resurgent
housing market, and the shift of the Christchurch
population – with a projected 25,000 residential
sections being brought onto the market in the next
five years – will also increase demand from the
private sector.
Construction
Christchurch will be the focus of considerable
demand for the construction sector once the rebuild
gains momentum. This is predicted to occur by the
end of 2012, and with over $20 billion of investment
to be made into the rebuilding of the city, will
continue to exert a major influence in the economy
for up to a decade.
Mining
While the Australian industry has been the major
attraction for skilled local candidates, a major focus
on mineral resources development on the part of the
National Government, and a number of promising
investigations throughout the country, could
significantly change the local sector in coming years.
Mechanical and Electrical
Despite softness in the wider market, the hi-tech
manufacturing field, in particular, is going from
strength to strength, and will continue to see strong
demand for expert staff across a variety of disciplines.
Longer term
Taking a longer-term view, nearly 200,000 jobs
will be created in New Zealand during the 5-year
period from 2010-2015. Employment growth will be
seen in almost all of the higher-skilled occupations,
including business, finance and ICT professionals,
and technicians and associates.

Although Singapore’s economy grew 4.9% in 2011,
the government has maintained a growth forecast of
between 1-3% for 2012. The Singapore employment
rate is relatively strong with a total employment
growth of 122,600 in the whole of 2011 or 3.9%
higher as compared to 2010.
Accounting and Finance
In 2012, we see a continued demand for business
partners who can value add in terms of providing
sound business advice as compared to traditional
accountants. Middle level positions such as senior
accountants, auditors and credit managers are in
demand due to stricter internal controls via expense
management and push for profitability. This increase
in controls and regulations has also created strong
appetite for professionals in the compliance domain.
Banking and Financial Services
Banks have been retrenching employees in Europe
and America but this has had a less radical impact
in Asia due to the fact that we have two major
banking hubs located in Singapore and Hong
Kong. Although the banking and financial services
industry is relatively stable in Singapore, we do see
some caution in hiring. Banks are focusing on more
business critical positions especially in the area of
risk and compliance as regulatory requirements
continue to become more stringent. This said,
whilst the investment banking community continues
to be somewhat unpredictable, there seems to
be a refocus on consumer wealth-based business
lines management professionals in particular. The
insurance, asset management and reinsurance
sectors are experiencing solid growth creating
appetite for skills such as quantitative analysis and
actuarial related disciplines
Engineering and Technical
Similar to other industries, most organisations
will have a cautious approach in hiring. We see
continued hiring in the oil and gas, construction
and water sectors due to consistent growth and
potential. As the Singapore government continues to
support the construction sector via housing projects
and major public works, the construction industry is
expected to continue its buoyancy throughout 2012
leading to a strong demand for all categories of
construction engineers.
