The Hiring Dilemma: Time, Money, and They Don’t Even Stay

Did you know it takes 41 days on average to fill a role in Singapore and Malaysia, with hiring managers dedicating over 50 hours a week to the task? The price tag for job advertising is also staggering, but the real shocker - 1 in 5 new hires won't stay for a year. Kevin Fitzgerald, Managing Director, Asia at Employment Hero, joins us to discuss the State of Recruitment in Malaysia & Singapore, and explores strategies to attract, hire, and retain top talent by leveraging on tech and leadership.
