Hello TIA Community!
Welcome to the first product update of 2017. I’m Li from the product team at Tech in Asia, and I’d like to take a quick second to catch you guys up on what’s been brewing.
Since we officially launched TIA Jobs last year, we’ve been taking steps toward understanding the crux of the recruitment crunch in the tech sector and making changes to that effect. One thing’s for sure: we heard you loud and clear.
A recurring theme among the feedback we’ve received from the community is transparency. Job seekers want to know what a company is offering regarding remuneration and if they’ll be fairly compensated for their work. Employers are also curious what their competitors are forking out for talent. If any of these applies to you, head on over to our Salary Insights and play around! You’ll be able to filter by geographical location and industry, among others.

Disclaimer: Data can be inaccurate at times, but we’ve taken steps to ensure accuracy. For one, outlier data points (+/-1.5 IQR) were not included in the aggregation.
Psst, employers, you can help with the transparency problem too! We urge you to fill in the monthly salary when you post a job.
On that note, if you’re urgently looking for talent, fill out the form for our Community Recruitment services and our talent advocates will be in touch. This is a game changer for many employers out there.
This February, we’re working on something that can show you the most relevant jobs for your skills and preferences, without you having to search for it repeatedly. You may call it a saved search or a job alert, but why not both? This is possible thanks to the community volunteers from the TIA Community Facebook group, who took the time to come down to our office, allowing us to get their feedback on our work in progress.
A sneak: Saving your preferences has never been easier.
We’ve been listening and are brewing more updates. Please indicate your interest here if you’re looking to visit our office and test future sneak peeks. 🙂
Stay updated on the go with our mobile app.
