Taiwan’s semiconductor industry faced a shortage of around 34,000 workers as of May 2025, with demand concentrated in production and quality control, R&D, and operations and maintenance roles. This shortage reflects the pressure behind Taiwan’s central role in the global chip supply chain. As capacity expands into advanced processes and advanced packaging, competition for qualified engineers and technical specialists continues to intensify, while the pool of local graduates has not kept pace with industry growth.
Morgan Philips Taiwan’s semiconductor recruitment practice helps fabless, foundry, IDM, and equipment companies close that gap. We place specialist technical and leadership talent across Taiwan and internationally, combining deep sector knowledge with a direct-search approach built for hard-to-find profiles.
