There will be stronger demand for Indonesian middle and senior management professionals this year as multinational and large firms continue to expend in Indonesia in line with the country’s fast-growing economy, a professional recruitment consultant says. Ian Robertson, country manager for Robert walters Indonesia, said on Wednesday in Jakarta that, in contrast to this condition, there had been a shortage of local mid –and senior – level professionals to fill the positions, and this might push up salaries by between 15 and 25 percent throughout the year. Increased hiring demand for such middle and senior management candidates would likely happen across banking and financial services, mining and energy and manufacturing sectors, Robertson said. He countined that in the near future, the gap in the professional job market would be partly filled by socalled “returning indonesians”. Who were presently working overseas. “there have been a lot of people coming back because Indonesia has become a very dynamic place due to its fast-growing economy,” he said. Adding that base salaries on par with expartriates offered by multinational companies for the middle and senior management roles also attracted these professionals.
