Malaysia Headhunting Services

An experienced company like Pacific Bridge, Inc. (PBI) can help your business with its Malaysia headhunting services.

To recruit the best of Malaysia’s 12 million workers, local and international companies usually post classified advertisements in major newspapers, utilize headhunters, and attend university job fairs. There is a high demand for skilled, technical workers and multilingual speakers. International companies usually offer continuous training and learning to retain key employees.  Foreign companies should take note that Malaysia’s Bumiputera Law entails special hiring requirements for ethnic Malay workers. PBI’s Malaysia headhunters know how to best use Malaysia’s labor laws and cultural landscape to locate the top talent.

White collar workers in Malaysia earn less than their Western counterparts. There is currently no nationwide minimum wage although the government is considering enacting one. PBI’s Malaysia headhunters can advise companies on appropriate and competitive wages for successful employee recruitment.

Malaysia’s Employee Provident Fund (EPF) provides employees with retirement funds.  These funds can also be used for medical expenses, education, and housing.  Employers and local employees contribute about the same percentage of the employee’s salary to the EPF account. Foreign workers, however, do not have an EPF account.

The Ministry of Human Resources is Malaysia’s authority on labor, employment, and welfare.  It has mandated annual leave and sick leave for all employees within Malaysia.  It also stipulates that companies need “just cause” to terminate a worker. Companies must also provide severance pay when terminating a low-salary employee.
