2024 Malaysian Job Market: Growth in Tech, Oil & Gas, and HR, WFH and Flexibility Still Key

Tech, Oil & Gas, and Human Resources & Legal, will be key in managing the supply and demand in the job market this year, and for employees and jobseekers, it looks like flexibility and ‘Work From Home’ continue to be key demands, while having a sense for career and salary progression is vital for retention.
