A new job portal was launched on Friday by Robert Walters and Singapore's Ministry of Manpower (MOM).
The PME (professionals, managers and executives) Jobs Network - which involves both the private and public sectors - was created to increase access to job opportunities, training and career paths.
Users can gauge their medium-term employment outlook using the portal, which draws information from MOM's Career Compass.
Career Compass collects information from various government agencies and highlights manpower demand in key industries. It also provides other relevant information such as employment conditions and wages.
The PME Jobs Network will also feature insights on the private sector. Robert Walters, a professional recruitment consultancy, will contribute insight on industry trends, salary levels and market updates.
These include the Asia Job Index, the annual Salary Index and Executive Insights which will be featured on the website.
Mr Lee Ark Boon, divisional director at MOM's Manpower Planning and Policy division, said: 'The PME Jobs Network provides Singaporeans with access to the latest PME jobs and information on training pathways. By bringing together the strengths of MOM and Robert Walters, we hope to give job seekers useful and timely industry and job-market intelligence as they grow their careers.'
He added: 'The accessibility to such information will further enhance the efficiency of our labour market.'
Ms Andrea Ross, Managing Director of Robert Walters' Singapore, Malaysia and Vietnam, said: 'We are very proud to collaborate with the Ministry of Manpower for the first time.
Robert Walters aims to provide our expertise as one of the leading professional recruitment consultancies to help busy professionals stay abreast of current job trends, as well as access our job board for potential job opportunities.'
