25/03/26 - Morning Shot: If AI Is Creating Jobs, Why Is Hiring Getting Harder?Singapore’s job market is being reshaped by AI, with newly created roles now making up almost half of all vacancies in 2025. From software developers to data scientists, demand for tech and engineering talent is surging and employers are increasingly hiring based on skills, not degrees.
At the same time, retrenchments among PMET workers are rising, entry-level roles have dipped and some of the most in-demand jobs are also the hardest to fill.
So what’s really happening beneath the surface of Singapore’s hiring landscape? And how should workers, employers and fresh graduates make sense of a market where opportunities are growing but matching them is getting more complex?
