According to popular online job portal Jobstreet by SEEK, digital transformation will be at the forefront of job opportunities this year, leading to the opening of more technologyaligned roles.

Demand for AI-driven outputs and processes is expected to be the major trend in hiring, which may require upskilled and qualified candidates.

Jobstreet by SEEK also expects jobseekers to look for more flexible work arrangements this year, especially as employers have become more open to such setups and many workers want to avoid the grind of daily traffic.

It likewise anticipates an increased preference for companies that have strong corporate values, such as environmental, social, and governance standards, as well as diversity, equity, and inclusion.
