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. All this and more as Enterprise Explores the 2024 outlook for the jobs and salaries in Malaysia with Fahad Naeem, Country Director at Randstad Malaysia.

Randstad recently released their 2024 Job Market Outlook & Salary Guide Report, and Enterprise Explores key insights from the report, including the importance of people management, why Emerging Technologies, Oil & Gas, and Human Resources & Legal are key must-watch sectors in the job market, the potential challenges when it comes to talent recruitment across these key growth industries, why there’s a move away from Generalists towards Specialists in the job market, and more.
