Another factor behind the shortage is rising wages, which are prompting companies to source remote workers overseas.

Human resource platform company Deel lists Singapore as the second-highest regional country by number of organisations hiring internationally.

Companies here are mainly recruiting virtual assistants, software developers, content writers and posts in business development and sales, it said.

Ms Aarti Budhrani of Michael Page Singapore said the reopening of borders has accelerated the trend, and companies are moving towards contract workers, considering candidates from Malaysia, the Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia and Vietnam.
