Companies in Indonesia looking to attract key bilingual candidates will have to meet salary expectations, offer quality training programmes and opportunities for international exposure, according to the Global Salary Survey 2015 from Robert Walters.
The country saw significant growth particularly in sectors such as professional services, FMCG, IT, technology and manufacturing. This was largely attributed to the active spending habits of Indonesian's burgeoning middle class, which led to a corresponding increase in consumption levels.
Figures from the survey suggested that candidates who switched jobs in 2014 expected salary increments of 25-35%. This trend is likely to continue in 2015.
Rob Bryson, Director, Robert Walters—Indonesia, commented, “A good command of written and spoken English is a qualification job seekers looking to join multinationals in Indonesia must possess. As more companies worked towards increased cohesion among business units, professionals who could understand the business partnering role of their function were highly sought-after.”
