Exabytes, EasyWork launch job portal, AdaKerja.My

• Platform build to be as simple as possible with no requirements to sign up
• Job seekers will be matched with jobs within their vicinity via geo location

Exabytes in partnership with Easywork, has launched AdaKerja.My, a free job portal developed to fulfil the needs of job seekers and employers.

In a statement, it said the platform was built to be as simple as possible, to support as many as needed.

There are no requirements to sign up and job seekers can apply for jobs by filling up their basic information and they will be matched with jobs within their vicinity based on geo location, it said.

Exabytes says that the platform aims at alleviating stress and difficulties associated with securing employment during the current economic crisis.

According to the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the unemployment rate in the country is reported to have increased to 4.8% in June 2021, with 768,700 people currently unemployed.

The five states that recorded the highest unemployment rate in the second quarter of 2021 were Labuan with 8.8%, followed by Sabah (8.7%), Perlis (5.3%), Kelantan (4.8%) and Selangor (4.4%).

Exabytes said with the increasing number of people losing jobs due to the lockdown and the influx of job seekers, many would think that the job market is veritably saturated with talent.

The hard truth is, most Malaysian employers still struggle to hire the right talent, it added.

“We want people to know that although the current situation is deemed as one of the worst we have experienced, there are still many vacancies available if one gears himself up with a positive mindset,” said Chan Kee Siak, chief executive officer and founder of Exabytes Network Sdn Bhd.

“AdaKerja.My can provide the unemployed with access to more options instead of the commonly available platforms or conventional methods such as looking through classified sections in newspapers,” he added.

Chan said businesses are in need of qualified employees so those who have lost employment as a result of the pandemic can explore the possibility of a fresh beginning with AdaKerja.My.
