KUALA
LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach – 25 October 2021 – Global recruitment specialists Michael Page Malaysia witnessed increased job opportunities in some sectors in Q3 2021
compared with 2020. According to job opportunity data shared by Michael Page, this
was observed with growth in opportunities within the Marketing (up 45%) and Engineering
& Manufacturing (up 22%) sectors. Overall the country saw an 18% rise in
the number of job opportunities from last year.

Paul Cooper, Managing Director of Michael Page Malaysia,
Thailand and Vietnam observes, “Marketing
in Malaysia’s B2C space is really driving the demand for these professionals as
organisations are trying to engage directly with their customers. The pandemic
brought about massive changes in consumer patterns and the leading players want
to establish a direct link with their customer and decrease their reliance on
third party e-commerce platforms.”
This has created a demand for digital
marketing, data analysts and product managers who can secure customer
engagement through relevant influencers and open new online marketplaces for
brands.
Similarly, job opportunities for Malaysian professionals within
Engineering & Manufacturing have seen healthy growth (up 22%) from 2020.
“This is particularly driven by the global demand for semiconductors and
microchips created by the increased volume in consumer electronics production.
Factories in Malaysia are pressured to maximise their output which has in turn
led to demand for specialists in semiconductor manufacturing,” comments Paul Cooper.
Another contributing factor are investments
in the healthcare industry which was ramped up manufacturing within
pharmaceuticals and medical devices. This was a strong industry for Malaysia
before the pandemic and is currently earmarked for even more growth, thus
creating more jobs.
While jobs are on the
increase, the current employment demands in the Malaysian market are challenged
by a limited talent pool and skills shortage. This has increased the opportunities
for specialist contractors as a viable solution for businesses to manage their
talent work flow. An increased number of companies are utilising Malaysia’s
growing contracting
workforce to stay agile, keep their existing up to date and close any skill
gaps within.
