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.
