Recruitment Channels: What Actually Works
The platforms and strategies you’re used to back home may not work here. Here's what’s effective:
Online Job Portals: JobStreet, WOBB, and Indeed are widely used in Malaysia.
Social Media & LinkedIn: Popular for executive or white-collar roles, especially among Gen Z and millennials.
Recruitment Agencies: Local agencies can help with hard-to-fill roles or screening candidates.
Campus Hiring: Malaysia has strong universities — tapping into graduate talent through internships is a great long-term strategy.
📌 Note: Offering competitive salaries is important, but don’t underestimate the appeal of career development opportunities and a good company culture.
