NLB Services predicted that sectors such as healthcare, retail, manufacturing, and automotive are also expected to recruit tech talent to scale up their service capabilities around 5G.
The 5G rollout is expected to drive hiring in the telecom sector in 2023, as the expansion of the high-speed service unleashes a "compounding impact" on recruitment for both non-niche skills and technical skills, according to NLB Services.
As compared to 2021, demand for specialised telecom technology talent grew by almost 20 percent in 2022, the international staffing and recruiting company said in a statement.
Going forward, the hiring demand is not going to be restricted to the telecom sector alone, it estimated.
