KUALA LUMPUR, 17th JANUARY 2019 – JobStreet.com, Asia’s leading talent sourcing partner revealed its Job Outlook 2019, indicating that in the shift towards a digital economy, employers are adopting a forward-thinking view with a strong intent to hire talent with digital skills.
According to JobStreet.com Job Outlook 2019, 96% of employers surveyed perceived that the talent landscape will change with the shift to a digital economy. This is mainly due to rising demand for talent with digital skills but limited supply in the market as more and more organisations embark on their digital transformation journeys. Based on the survey, about 60% of employers reported that they have implemented some form of digital transformation initiatives or projects, with the remaining of employers surveyed are in various stages of planning and starting their projects.
With the wave of organisations adopting technologies to be ahead, 43% of the employers surveyed who are embarking on a digital transformation journey are looking to grow their talent pool with skilled talent to drive business growth specifically in areas such as IT/Computing, Digital Marketing and Research & Development. The search for these talents will only get more challenging so employers need to be more proactive and adopt innovative practices to ensure they do not get left behind.
Mr. Gan Bock Herm, Country Manager of JobStreet.com Malaysia sharing about digitalization being adopted rapidly across various working sectors in Malaysia during JobStreet.com HR Networking Event (HRNE) 2019.
“Organisations must strengthen their innovation and technology capabilities to capitalise on growth, and they need skilled talent to support that business growth. The Job Outlook 2019 survey shows that while 29% of employers surveyed are looking to hire new talent externally for the skills the business needs, a large majority of employers surveyed cited their willingness to invest in retraining and upskilling existing employees,” said Mr. Gan Bock Herm, Country Manager of JobStreet.com Malaysia.

Speaking at the JobStreet.com HR Networking Event 2019, Gan further commented that “Organisational transformation in the digital economy is more than simply automating processes in an organisation; it’s about synergising technology advancements with talent to drive business growth. This calls for the need for HR professionals to have an in-depth understanding of advancing technology and its possibilities to reinvent talent acquisition and retention strategies to transform the workforce.”
Mr. Gan Bock Herm, Country Manager of JobStreet.com Malaysia spoke about how digital and automation technologies will spur the creation of more job opportunities.
