Why Recruitment Support Matters for SMEs

In Malaysia’s competitive talent market, SMEs often lose time and money due to inefficient hiring processes:

• Poor job brief quality leads to irrelevant applications
• Unstructured interviews produce inconsistent hiring decisions
• Lengthy closing cycles increase cost‑per‑hire
• Limited HR bandwidth leads to reactive rather than strategic recruitment

Who Benefits Most from Recruitment Support?

Frequently Asked Questions

• How is Recruitment Support different from a Headhunter?
  Traditional headhunters charge a large success fee (often 15-20% of salary). Recruitment Support is a service to optimize your process (screening, tools, coordination) at a fixed or lower cost structure, acting as an extension of your team.
• Can you help with mass hiring for factory or retail roles?
  Yes. Our structured screening process is perfect for high-volume roles, ensuring you only spend time interviewing pre-qualified candidates who meet your specific criteria.
• Do you make the final hiring decision?
  No. We provide the tools, data, and shortlisted candidates, but the final decision remains with you to ensure cultural and team fit. We act as your strategic advisor.
• What if we don’t hire anyone from the shortlist?
  Our fees cover the professional support services delivered (assets, screening, consulting). However, our rigorous filtering process significantly increases the probability of finding the right match compared to DIY methods.
