The Asia Job Index report published by Robert Walters shows positive movement on the hiring front in the financial sector. The total number of job advertisement placed in Q2 increased by over 6% compared with Q1 and increased by just under 3% during the quarter. There was an overall decline in Q2 job advertisements in May compared with April, before moving up again in June—mainly attributed to the May holiday season in China. Increased IPO activity in Hong Kong in June also helped drive an upturn in financial services recruitment advertising.
