Kelly Services, one of the earliest and most established international recruiters in Malaysia, provides a wide range of recruitment solutions to its clients including permanent, contract and permanent staffing, as well as payroll services and outplacement.

Founded more than 60 years ago in Michigan, United States, the company now operates in close to 40 countries worldwide and provides employment opportunities to more than half a million people.

One of Kelly’s annual publications is the salary report or virtual handbook that helps job seekers to streamline and compare their salary expectation to the market pay.

The report compiles information on salary for different job titles, which are further divided into 8 different industries, namely call center; banking and financial; sales, marketing & advertising; office support; human resource; logistic and warehousing; information technology; and engineering and technical. Other criteria taken into account include the candidate’s academic qualification, years of experience and location of work.

Through the publication, the recruitment agency also believes that the employment market will remain robust in the next 12 months, barring major fluctuations in economic condition. More job vacancies are also expected to be found in manufacturing, information technology, engineering, services and banking, as well as in oil and gas, electrical, plastic and construction. Additionally, high demand of IT expertise also sees a slight increase in the average minimum salary offered to candidates.

Kelly Services, one of the most established staffing and recruitment agencies in the country, has launched a new career talk program, targeted at the graduating students.

The program is aimed to expose the graduating students with the real expectation of the employer and the employment market, and reduce the disparity between the fresh graduates and the competitive job market.

It is also part of the company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) incentive to create values among the society.

Graduates will also be learning about a wide range of topics including employment market trend, salary guide, promising industries and companies, resume & cover letter writing tip, interview guide, professional grooming and other career related advice.

The program kicked off its first talk of the series in the University College Sedaya International (UCSI) which was held recently with a theme, “Making a Difference”. It will also be a mandatory talk for the UCSI final year students annually.

Other tertiary institutions, universities and colleges interested with the program can contact Kelly Services Malaysia to have the consultants giving the talk and presentation.
