But employers have not been resting on their laurels when it comes to securing top talent to drive business growth. “Many organisations have been ramping up their efforts in investing in their employer value propositions to attract the best talent in the market, through professional social media networking and online content marketing,” said Grant Torrens, regional director at Hays Singapore.

“Such tactics are likely to grow each year as they prove to be effective in communicating the non-monetary benefits of working for a company,” he added.At the mid-senior levels, professionals who can act as commercial financial managers are being sought out, and to this end firms are widening their nets in the search, Hays said.
