For employers, especially SMEs, hiring the right person can be challenging when time, budget and expertise are limited.
To make the process easier, Jobstreet by SEEK has announced that employers in Malaysia can now post all roles on its platform nationwide for free.
This means employers can start looking for candidates without paying any upfront cost, while still having the option to upgrade their job ads later for better performance.
Apart from free job postings, Jobstreet by SEEK also uses AI-powered tools to help employers create better job ads and improve candidate matching.
Employers can now post jobs for free
The biggest highlight of the new rollout is that employers can now post all job roles on Jobstreet by SEEK for free.
For employers, especially SMEs, business owners, HR teams and hiring managers, this lowers the barrier to finding talent.
Instead of having to pay just to put up a job ad, businesses can now start hiring first and only choose to add on performance tools if they need extra support later.
With this, Jobstreet by SEEK is making its hiring platform more accessible to employers of different sizes across Malaysia.
Hiring is still not as easy as it looks
According to Jobstreet by SEEK, Malaysia’s unemployment rate fell to 2.9% in November 2025, signalling a strong job market.
However, this does not mean hiring has become simple for employers.
Many businesses still face challenges such as slow hiring processes, skills mismatch, and uncertainty over whether a candidate is the right fit.
On the other hand, candidates may also find it difficult to navigate crowded job listings and unclear role expectations.
This is where Jobstreet by SEEK hopes to reduce friction for both sides of the hiring process.
Employers are 2.8x more likely to find the right fit on Jobstreet
One of Jobstreet by SEEK’s key strengths is its ability to connect employers with more suitable candidates.
According to Jobstreet by SEEK, employers are 2.8 times more likely to find the right fit or candidate on the platform, making it a stronger option for businesses looking for successful placements.
The platform also gives employers access to more than 7 million candidate profiles and counting, offering a wider talent pool for companies that are hiring.
This is especially useful for employers who may be hiring for roles that are harder to fill, or those who want to reach more relevant candidates faster.
AI tools to help employers hire faster
Apart from free job postings, Jobstreet by SEEK also uses AI-powered tools to help employers create better job ads and improve candidate matching.
For employers who are not sure how to draft a job description, the platform offers free AI job ad writing support to make the process easier.
This means employers do not have to start from scratch when creating a job ad, especially if they are unsure how to word the role, responsibilities, or requirements clearly.
Its AI-powered job ads can also give employers predictive performance insights, helping them reach more suitable candidates and make hiring decisions faster.
Easier to screen and shortlist candidates
The hiring process does not end after a job ad is posted.
Once applications come in, employers still need to go through profiles, screen candidates, and decide who to shortlist.
Jobstreet by SEEK says its platform is designed to make this easier too, allowing employers to view, screen and filter applications more efficiently.
This can help speed up candidate shortlisting, especially for employers who receive many applications or need to hire within a shorter timeframe.
The platform has been established in Malaysia for more than 25 years and is known as a specialised hiring platform focused on connecting employers with candidates.
For employers, this means they can post jobs for free, access a large and growing pool of candidate profiles, use AI tools to improve their job ads, and screen applications more easily in one place.
Nicholas Lam, Managing Director of Jobstreet by SEEK Malaysia, said Malaysia’s labour market may look strong on the surface, but hiring has become more complex on the ground.
“When talent is scarce, employers need faster signals, clearer insights and lower-risk ways to engage the market,” he said.
He added that the nationwide approach reflects Jobstreet by SEEK’s commitment to improving match quality and supporting both employers and candidates through a more efficient and transparent hiring journey.
For candidates, the rollout also aims to offer clearer job opportunities, stronger job matching, and a more transparent hiring process.
With free job postings, AI-powered hiring tools, verified candidate credentials, and access to over 7 million candidate profiles, Jobstreet by SEEK aims to be the go-to platform for employers in Malaysia looking to hire more efficiently.
