Demand for both permanent and contract ICT staff has continued to strengthen over the past three months. Strengthened demand is particularly evident in the permanent sector (which has continued increasing month-on-month) and in the Financial Services Industry.

Candidates are increasingly in a position to select from several job offers, a clear indicator of a stronger market position for the remainder of 2009 and leading into 2010.

At Peoplebank we are never content being just “another recruiter” nor even “one of the better recruiters”. Our clear vision is to become the very best… Asia Pacific’s number one choice for recruitment.

We understand though that having the best of intentions alone isn’t enough…  instead the best of words must be matched with the best of actions.
