Based on a survey report by the Indonesian Fintech Association (Aftech) and the Katadata Insight Center (KIC) titled *Annual Member Survey 2022/2023*, several employee sectors or fields are most sought after by fintech companies in Indonesia.

Product development is the most in-demand sector in fintech startup recruitment, accounting for 69.3%.

Other employee sectors highly sought after by fintech startups include business development (68%), followed by sales and marketing (54.7%); legal and compliance (33.3%); finance and accounting (22.7%); customer service (21.3%); and design (12%).

The survey also shows that fintech startups predominantly prefer a combination of permanent outsourcing (61.3%) for employee recruitment. This is followed by permanent hires (37.3%), and outsourcing (1.4%).

Aftech's Deputy Secretary General II, Firlie Ganinduto, stated that the trend of layoffs (PHK) in the fintech sector is almost over. Previously, this trend was prevalent in 2022 due to global economic uncertainty, triggering a funding drought or "tech winter."

"We expect an increase in employee recruitment in the future," said Firlie, as quoted by *Katadata.co.id* on Thursday (27/7/2023).

Firlie explained that once companies find a suitable business model to achieve profitability, fintech startups will conduct recruitment.

The Aftech-KIC survey was conducted online, involving 75 respondents or companies from across Aftech's membership. The survey was conducted in Q2 2023 using an online questionnaire.

The majority of companies involved in the survey are located in Jabodetabek (92%), followed by Yogyakarta and Surabaya (1.3%). In terms of employee numbers, most companies have fewer than 50 employees (50.6%), followed by 51-100 employees (24%).
