Beyond internships to build up the pipeline, observers say the task at hand is to find experienced hires
<Shortage of hybrid talent hampers Singapore's fintech growth>
Singapore's fintech sector is facing a talent shortage due to a lack of professionals who possess both finance and technology expertise, according to market players and observers. As the industry increasingly adopts artificial intelligence, the demand for multidisciplinary individuals who can bridge the two fields has become more pressing.
Lim Chai Leng, general manager at Randstad Singapore, stated that while there are ample developers and experts in finance and regulatory matters, there is a significant shortage of 'hybrid' or 'bilingual' professionals who can seamlessly integrate technology and finance skills. This gap in the workforce is hindering Singapore's fintech growth and making it challenging for the industry to thrive.
