LinkedIn has released its annual list of the top Singapore companies to work for – and banking and information technology companies dominated the 2023 list.
The list of top companies was also heavily reshuffled this year, which is a testament to “Singapore’s strong business ecosystem,” according to the professional networking platform.
Compared to 2022, there are 10 new companies that made this year’s top 15, including Mastercard, Procter & Gamble, Citi, and technology giants Amazon and Apple.
In particular, the banking and finance sector saw 4 companies in the top 5 of the “LinkedIn Top Companies 2023” for Singapore.
“Singapore’s financial sector has always been an important pillar of the country’s economy, with companies such as DBS, Standard Chartered Bank and Citi being major employers,” said Pooja Chhabria, LinkedIn Career Expert and Head of Editorial for APAC.
“Singapore is also positioning itself as a global fintech hub…which means long-term growth and employment for professionals in areas from sustainable finance to data analytics.”
Amazon and Alphabet both made the list, despite making headlines this year with massive global layoffs. However, Alphabet, Google’s parent company, dropped 6 places from last year’s list.
Chhabria told CNBC Make It that attrition and layoffs were considered when compiling the list.
“To ensure we only show companies that provide a stable workplace where employees can grow long-term, companies that have laid off 10% or more of their workforce during our methodological period…are not eligible for ranking,” added them to it.
LinkedIn said it used internal data collected between January 1 and December 31, 2022, measuring companies based on eight factors that lead to career advancement:
Ability to move forwardSkills growthBusiness stabilityExternal opportunityBusiness affinityGender diversityEducational backgroundEmployee presence in country
To be eligible, companies must also have had at least 500 employees by December 31, 2022 in Singapore.
LinkedIn said the rankings of working professionals at all levels provide “actionable insights and resources” such as skills and roles the companies are hiring for.
