What do job seekers in Malaysia really want in 2025? It turns out, it’s not just about salary anymore. While pay still matters, many are prioritising things like growth, flexibility, and a workplace that actually respects their time. And what they won’t put up with? Vague job roles, slow hiring, and toxic cultures.

In this conversation, Derek Toh, Founder and CEO of Hiredly Group, discusses the hard truths behind what’s driving people to accept (or reject) job offers today. He shares fresh insights from Hiredly’s latest Work Culture Report, what younger generations expect from employers, and why old-school hiring habits could be holding businesses back.
