3^rd Quarter Newsletter 2020

SALARY OVERVIEW

Hong Kong - China - Singapore - Thailand 

Introduction

Dear Friends of Gemini,

 

Welcome to the Gemini Personnel newsletter for the third quarter of 2020, I hope the past few months have started to bring a sense of optimism following the challenging start to the year.

 

At Gemini, a lot has been happening over the past three months as our offices in China, Hong Kong, Singapore and Thailand have all fully reopened and resumed normal operations and we have been working closely with our clients to support them on their own recoveries.

 

Many of our clients are now beginning the process of hiring again, and are now faced with a new challenge – the large number of candidates who are in the market for new opportunities. This is where our teams of Consultants have been able to play a significant role in helping businesses to navigate through the increased volume in applicants and find the right talent for their needs.

 

Other parts of our business have also seen increased demand, most notably for HR Consulting services, where companies are increasingly looking for expert advice on how to handle issues such as remote working, virtual onboarding and employee reassignments. Gemini's outplacement programmes, which support employees who have been made redundant or terminated preparing for and managing their job search, continue to be in high demand across the region.

 

Finally, as previewed in our newsletter last May, we are delighted to announce the launch of our latest project Interim.works, a platform for Interim Managers and businesses to connect and find opportunities for collaboration on interim assignments.

 

I hope you enjoy reading this newsletter, and as always do not hesitate to contact us if we can help you or your business at this time!

Labour market updates in Thailand

As unemployment soars in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak - 7 million Thais are expected to lose jobs as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic - authorities have promoted part-time hiring, especially in sectors such as the sales of food and goods, product arrangements and goods transport.

 

However, for the second half of 2020 an increase in hiring is expected. In a survey conducted by JobsDB, 88% of companies indicated hiring plans for the third and fourth quarter. In highest demand will be IT professionals; the pandemic has accelerated the realisation of the need for digital transformation in many companies. It is expected that 3 million new IT jobs will have been created by 2025, of which 2 million in the field of software development.

 

Other functions forecasted to have high demand in the next few months are Marketing/PR, Sales/Business Development, Tourism/Hotels/F&B, and Procurement. However, more than half (53%) of recruitment processes is expected to be for entry-level positions.

 

Business also showed to have amended their corporate policies following the pandemic: 52% says to encourage employees to work from home, 47% adjusted employment policies, and 33% of companies are willing to hire those whose career was impacted by the pandemic.
