Jobstreet by SEEK Offers Free Job Ads for Sabah and Sarawak Employers to Support Borneo Businesses

EAST MALAYSIA, 30 May 2024 - Jobstreet by SEEK, Malaysia’s No.1 Trusted Talent Partner, is offering limited-time free job advertisements for employers in East Malaysia as a strategic initiative to stimulate employment opportunities for businesses in Borneo.

This initiative highlights Jobstreet by SEEKs commitment to enhancing services for employers and jobseekers, aiming to boost the local job market and stimulate regional economic growth.

Since the promotion’s launch, the platform has seen an increase in monthly job ads by 40% in Sabah and Sarawak. This is of particular importance in East Malaysia, which has the highest unemployment rate in the country, as jobseekers have a strong preference to remain within the state rather than venture across other parts of Malaysia for job opportunities.
