JAKARTA - SEEK, the parent company of JobStreet, a well-known job search platform in Asia has just launched its latest report entitled "What Workers Expect to Know by Companies: Opening the door to the Future of Recruitment," on Wednesday, March 1 yesterday.

The survey revealed that workers in IT are the most searched talents in Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Singapore, because they often get job offers every week and month.

"Despite the wave of layoffs (PHK) by technology companies in Southeast Asia and around the world, the need for labor with experts in technology remains the highest based on findings in the report," said Peter Bithos, Chief Executive Officer of SEEK in Asia..

At the same time, COO Jobstreet for Indonesia Varun Mehta revealed that currently Jobstreet already has 67 million monthly active users.

"I can say for Indonesia and Global, so we have 67 million active visits per month, across Asia and Australian users. And there are also 100 million active jobs on the platform," Varun told VOI.

However, Varun could not explain in detail the percentage between the number of job applicants, and the applicants who were accepted to work through Jobstreet. "Because the percentage is different in each market, for example in Hong Kong, Singapore, or Indonesia."

Varun also said that currently, the company found at least 3,000 applications sent by applicants every day. "In Indonesia there are around 3,000 applications every day," concluded Varun.
