EmploymentHero launches SmartMatch in Malaysia, shaving two weeks off the hiring process!

Let’s be real: looking for a job can take quite an amount of time, where you end up waiting weeks for a call-back… if you weren’t accidentally ghosted by the recruiter by then. This is because the hiring process is often lengthy, with employers having to scan through and screen multitudes of CVs before even being able to schedule an interview. As such, EmploymentHero has decided to shorten the process by introducing the SmartMatch feature in Malaysia, which is built into Employment Hero’s HRIS platform for employers, and powered by its employee superapp, Swag for job seekers.

So, here’s how SmartMatch wants to transform how Malaysian businesses find their dream team, candidates find their dream jobs, and shave two weeks off the recruitment process…

SmartMatch uses Algorithms and AI to match suitable candidates to employers

In order to eliminate the challenges of mismatched hires and prolonged hiring processes, SmartMatch is leveraging advanced algorithms and AI to match the right candidates with the right roles. When job seekers create a profile on Swag, they’re automatically matched with employers, with AI analysing their skills, career goals, and job preferences.

“For job seekers this isn’t just another ‘Tinder for jobs’, but rather the last job application they ever have to complete. SmartMatch is reshaping the entire job search experience. It operates on a simple yet transformative principle: jobs find you.” – David Holland, Managing Director of Swag at Employment Hero.

Meanwhile, for employers, SmartMatch also facilitates proactive and predictive hiring by analysing a business’s organisation chart and predicting hiring needs based on sector, size, location, and seasonal trends. It then surfaces candidates in the Employment Hero platform within seconds. Employers will also have the ability to surface candidates against existing roles, for example where an identical growth role is required or when an employee resigns. And the full functionality of Employment Hero’s Applicant Tracking System helps employers manage candidates so they can start the interview process immediately.

So, if you’re currently on the lookout for a job and wouldn’t want to be burdened with having to do a deep-dive of employment ads and massively shooting-out your CV, then SmartMatch might be for you! All you’ll have to do is create your profile on the platform, and let the jobs find you.
