Given the relatively bleak state of the employment market these days, it can sometimes feel like it’s employment season all year.

Job hunting can be daunting, so we’ve compiled a list of some of the coolest companies and startups around for you, and listed some of the roles they’re currently hiring for.
Razer
One doesn’t need an introduction to the company or its charismatic CEO Min-Liang Tan to know that they’re one of the coolest places to be at.
With its origins stemming from creating the best gear for gamers, they’ve been getting much attention from the international public as well, especially from their unveilings at the annual Consumer Electronics Show (CES), which they’ve been a regular at for a decade now. The Razer train isn’t going to stop anytime soon, and they seem to be hiring for a quite a few positions.

A local startup with an agenda to disrupt the telco scene, Circles.Life has successfully embedded itself into the minds of many Singaporeans (especially the millennials) as an alternative to the expensive and mostly restrictive contracts that other telcos offer.

Amazon
Albeit disappointing all of us just a week back with the announcement that their arrival onto our shores would be delayed to later this year (initial guesses were the first half of 2017), the hype for Amazon’s eventual launch in Singapore is still going strong.
Given the scale of their operations, they have many positions up for the snatching, some of which are more regional roles. While the Singaporean consumer still has some time before making contact with Amazon.com.sg, employees would be more or less guaranteed first look and access to the platform.

Not needing any introduction, Airbnb is well-known for its Instagram-worthy office and commitment to helping those with a serious case of wanderlust to find interesting accommodation all around the world.
