A war for talent in Myanmar Finding qualified candidates in Myanmar has been a headache for most companies looking to step into Southeast Asias hottest emerging economy. Learning of that difficulty, a Thai executive made a proactive move by going to visit a leading university in Yangon and asking the dean of its graduate school to help recruit MBA students for his firm. The dean did not reject his request. But as time went by, there was only silence from the university. The executive only learnt later that all the students there had been booked by large local enterprises since they enrolled in the college. Myanmars scarcity of white-collar workers is only expected to get worse. A senior executive of a leading multinational company told Biz Buzz that an international telecom company that recently won a mobile-phone concession in Myanmar is offering 300-per-cent salary increases for qualified candidates tapped from other companies operating there.
