GRIT’s Singapore Salary Report 2022/2023 also reveals the top five tech skills that employers in Singapore are looking for. They include cybersecurity (57%), data analysis (57%), AI/Machine Learning (52%), digital marketing (43%), and agile/scrum (43%).
This is in line with the technologies most local employers are adopting, namely big data analytics (49%), IoT and connected devices (36%), e-commerce and digital trade (35%), AI (33%), and cloud computing (31%).
“With more companies adopting the latest technology such as AI and machine learning to strengthen their digital infrastructure, the need for a strong digital talent pool and development is now especially crucial,” says Paul Endacott, CEO and Founder of GRIT.
He continues: “Evidently, our report has shown that the top 3 job roles employers are looking to fill are all tech-related. With GRIT solutions, we leverage technology to effectively facilitate tech-talent search by automating talent suggestions to the relevant requirements set by companies. This, in turn, reduces the hiring timeframe by two-thirds in this tech-talent crunch era.”
