Here are the employment hotspots in Hong Kong over the next 12 months

They are sectors obviously worth checking out.

Long regarded as an Asian economic powerhouse, Hong Kong continues to display positive signs of growth and remains highly attractive to investors and jobseekers alike.

According to Michael Page's 2014/15 Michael Page Hong Kong Employee Intentions Report, the local economy appears robust and has led to an active professional employment market, with employees remaining optimistic, though with an element of caution on upcoming recruitment activity.

Over the next 12 months, employment opportunities and activity are expected to be particularly strong in the digital, technology, marketing and sales sectors.

Here's more from Michael Page:

More than half (55%) of the survey respondents to the 2014/15 Michael Page Hong Kong Employee Intentions report state they are quite or very likely to look for a new role in the coming year , a slight fall from the 64% of employees indicating they would look for a new role in the 2013/14 report.

Meanwhile, 26% of the survey respondents indicate they are not likely to move out of their current role.

Professionals from the digital sector (75%) are the most likely to change jobs, indicating a strong and healthy industry that is developing fast and where key skills are in short supply.

Companies have been keen to increase their capabilities in this dynamic area and there are now excellent career opportunities for top professionals within this field.

Although a relatively mature economy, Hong Kong remains home to some of the most driven and ambitious professionals in the Asia Pacific region.

The majority of survey respondents continue to see financial rewards as the most important, with 40% indicating an increase in salary as their key motivation for seeking a new role, a significant increase from 2013/14’s response of 29%.

Further, 54% of survey respondents indicate they will be asking for a salary increase in the coming 12 months. of these, the most common percentage of increase requested will be between 6 and 9% as stated by 32% of the respondents.

Talent retention is still absolutely critical for companies. However the majority of survey respondents report they feel their employer has not made any real progress around talent retention (62%).

This is a high number and demonstrates the continual need for companies to form internal strategies to retain and develop their staff.

While companies work on the right mix to retain talent, the focus for professionals continues to be on financial rewards based on performance.

32% of survey respondents claimed it would be the top factor that will keep them in their role, consistent with the 34% of respondents choosing this in the 2013/14 report.
