Recruitment in Taiwan is expected to be buoyant in 2015—with demand largely driven by growth in a number of sectors, most notably technology, FMCG and luxury retail—according to the latest annual Global Salary Survey from recruitment consultancy Robert Walters.
Figures from the Survey suggest that professionals moving jobs commanded an average 10-20% salary increase in 2014 as a result of increased hiring activity, while non-movers received increases of 2-5%. These trends are likely to continue in 2015.
John Winter, Country Manager, Robert Walters Taiwan, commented, “We expect that hiring levels will go up in 2015 and professionals with strong technical capabilities, English language skills and industry experience will continue to be in high demand, especially among multinationals. Competitive salary packages and opportunities for career progression are vital to attracting the best candidates. We have also seen more overseas Taiwanese returning for the promising business prospects back home—this will help enlarge the local talent pool.”
