Faststream Recruitment Singapore has reported its busiest quarter, with vacancy numbers on the increase.
While there may be redundancies in back office office positions, it would seem that experience marine professionals are still very much in demand.
Mark Robertshaw, Vice President of Faststream Singapore commented: "Clients tell us recruitment is still one of their top challenges. In singapore, clients consistently tell us that they find this their only constraint to growth, the ability to find quality people to move to their organisation."
"We've seen a downturn in vacancy levels globally, yet in Singapore we've seen a massive increase in vacancy levels. The desire that companies have to recruit the best and brightest is stronger than ever. In difficult economic times you have got to have the best team on board."
