Great that the number of job postings has increased from 23,000 to 35,000 and more Singaporeans can find jobs.
Also great that WSG is using AI to do more accurate job matching - to achieve greater success in securing jobs.

I thought the concept of Job Portal could be extended to normal job applicants like PMET and blue collar workers.
The job portal can do online tracking, matching of candidates and employers looking for job applicants.
The Job Portal should also be tweaked to track hiring and ensure that applicants are gainfully employed and not underemployed so that their skillsets and potential are maximised.
Employed a person gainfully that commensurate with his skillsets and experience - will bring higher productivity to the company and to the Economy.
Eg. if a person possess the skillsets and knowledge to win and implement a $30 million project, the company and the Economy will gain a positive Economy Output of $30 million.
However if he is underemployed and is given a job that bring $1 million to $2 million project, then it is no longer productive to the company and to the Economy - because it bring a net loss of $30 million - $2 million = $28 million as Economic Output.
This is "Deductivity" and not "Productivity" - being under-employed and did not exploit and maximise his full potential.

The WDA job portal provide a bird eye view of the job opportunities as well as the job applicants for the entire Economy (not all will be captured because some companies will still go through private portal or employ through their own means).
But WDA job portal is a useful tool for Economic planning, skillset planning, manpower planning, sector-specific planning etc to resolve job unemployment problem if use effectively.

Wonder what is the success rate of the WDA Job Portal in recruiting Singaporeans - is there publish statistics on how effective is this Job Portal ?
Also if there is success rate, how long does successful candidates keep their jobs?
How many of these jobs are eventually offered to foreigners vis-a-vis Singaporeans?

用李 - There should be a healthy mix of quality jobs and other jobs.
Singapore attract the 3rd largest FDI investment in the World.
The problem are :-
(1) Can they match the right candidates to the right jobs.
(2) Does Singaporeans possess the right skillsets (due to change in skillsets need).
If Singaporeans do not have the right skillsets - are they willing to go for training and get themselves place in the right jobs.
(3) Does Singaporeans want to work with e2i, WSG, NTUC - to get themselves train and place in the jobs they want.

Ricky Lim private sector would find it hard to attract good people as public sector remuneration is more competitive. If including te sure get mid and end of bonus it would better to get a Jo in public sector. I know of a fresh engineering graduate joined public sector and starting is 4k+.. Comparing to what is listed in this portal , the salarysalaries range listed are not competitive .

U are right. There is no more "good" job in private sector. They pay peanuts and expect u to work till you are exhausted

They can do so many great things but cannot give a simple statistics as to how many of these jobs were actually taken up by Singaporeans.

That’s because the number will be embarrasing and too low to be manipulated in any angles.

All those mambo jumbo features will be useless if the employers refuse to even reply to applications as many have given this feedback for years.
