Salary Survey 2018: Country highlights 

Continual economic growth and steady business expansion to drive recruitment activity in 2018.

We expect relatively steady growth and hiring activity throughout 2018 in Indonesia. Recruitment will continue to be driven by particularly high growth areas, such as fintech, general emerging technology companies and supply chain and logistics. 

This was among the key findings of the Robert Walters Salary Survey for 2018. The annual survey contains recruitment market updates, hiring advice and benchmarks salaries across our global markets.

Hiring trends in Indonesia

Growth in sectors such as banking and financial services, insurance, manufacturing and FMCG is set to lead to an active job market in 2018. This is especially so for professionals with expertise in professional services, information technology, consumer products and online retail. 

Demand for well-rounded, tech-savvy local candidates fluent in both Bahasa Indonesia and English is expected to continue in 2018. Companies are also set to continue seeking skilled local talent with international experiences. 

As a result, our Pulang Kampung campaign remains more relevant than ever in helping Indonesian talent from overseas find jobs back home.
