As the economy goes through significant restructuring, and industries are reshaped, job networks are adapting to the unique employment needs being created during the pandemic. The popular job network in Singapore and Malaysia, Dream Career Builder, has taken steps to expand prospective employers' ability to attract and hire a wider pool of qualified talents. From leveraging alternative job landscapes and the surge in freelance job opportunities, the platform has integrated a 'Work from Home' tab to fill positions for full-time and part-time jobs. Considering the rising gig economy in Singapore and Malaysia, this new feature provides ranking signals, which amplify the rankings of remote and work from home opportunities, for greater lead conversion. Further, for a small sum, prospective employers can opt to have job posts boosted on the job portal, improving the chances of finding a suitable candidate.
As the impact of retrenchments and wage cuts hit an all-time high in Singapore and Malaysia, job-matching service providers are striving to decrease the unemployment gap. The free platform, Dream Career Builder, streamlines the job search process through an 'Auto Job Finder' feature that utilises algorithms to alert employers and jobseekers of suitable candidates and job posts. Supported by the use of other social networking platforms such as LinkedIn, employers can also extend their reach and presence to provide opportunities to jobseekers.
