Malaysia, 3 June, 2013- With companies today constantly on the lookout for talent, jobs are plentiful. However, many jobseekers are finding it difficult to recognize which job postings are the best fit for them as many postings lack important details like salary, location, and in-depth information about the company itself. In order to increase their chances of landing a job, many jobseekers often apply to as many jobs as they can without really knowing whether or not they’re a good fit. This results in both jobseekers and employers having a hard time finding the right match.

To address this issue for both jobseekers and employers, JobStreet.com introduced their latest “Richer Job Ads” with new features such as Salary Matching, Location Map and Company Insights. Jobseekers can now find out the right salary matching from companies, the first innovation ever used in South East Asia. Other features of the Richer Job Ads will also enable jobseekers to have a more comprehensive review of the job, work location and company insights before applying.

Some of the Richer Job Ad features include:

• Salary Matching

• Location Map

• Company Insights

Mr Naresh Sanchana, head of product of JobStreet.com said, “We asked our jobseekers what information mattered most when deciding on applying a job, and apart from salary and location, they also wanted more insights into the company. With the Richer Job Ads, jobseekers can now get a glimpse into the office environment through photos and videos and learn more about the work culture with details on dress code, work hours and even languages spoken. This enhancement will benefit jobseekers to get a better understanding of the job and also to deliver more serious and qualified candidates to the employers.”

Jobseekers should keep an eye out as there will be more enhancements and new features to be introduced in the coming months.
