Employment Hero, the world’s leading HR, payroll, and employee engagement platform, has announced that the world’s first SmartMatch (v1.0) feature is now live in Malaysia. SmartMatch is set to transform how Malaysian businesses find their dream team, candidates find their dream jobs, and is now shaving two weeks off the recruitment process.

Built into Employment Hero’s HRIS platform for employers and powered by its employee superapp, Swag for job seekers, SmartMatch facilitates proactive and predictive hiring by analysing a business’s organisation chart and predicting hiring needs based on sector, size, location, and seasonal trends. This innovative approach marks the end of the 'pay and pray' recruitment model, ensuring a continuous talent pipeline.

Employers have the ability to surface candidates against existing roles, for example where an identical growth role is required or when an employee resigns. For recruiting new roles, a simple search can yield results within seconds. And the full functionality of Employment Hero’s Applicant Tracking System helps employers manage candidates so they can start the interview process immediately.

A complete innovation in recruitment, SmartMatch is set to disrupt the recruitment landscape. In Southeast Asia's competitive job market, finding the right talent is increasingly challenging. Traditional recruitment methods often result in mismatched hires and prolonged hiring processes.

SmartMatch addresses these challenges by leveraging advanced algorithms and AI to match the right candidates with the right roles. For employers this tool eliminates traditional recruitment stages such as writing job descriptions, placing ads, and sifting through numerous CVs. Instead, SmartMatch surfaces candidates in the Employment Hero platform within seconds.

“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. When job seekers create a profile on Swag, they're automatically matched with employers, with AI analysing their skills, career goals, and job preferences. SmartMatch has turned recruitment on its head by ensuring that the right jobs find the right candidates effortlessly. We are uniquely placed to do this, leveraging our comprehensive platform with millions of roles and advanced AI technology,” said David Holland, Managing Director of Swag at Employment Hero.

A Bright Future for Malaysian Job Seekers and Employers

“The launch of SmartMatch in Malaysia is set to revolutionise the local job market as we’ve already seen in Australia, making it easier for businesses to find and retain the talent they need to grow and thrive. By embedding SmartMatch into Employment Hero’s platform, businesses can streamline their recruitment processes, save on hiring costs, and improve compliance.

The first version of SmartMatch is now live. As with all Employment Hero products our clients will see rapid optimisation over the coming months resulting in a world leading solution for Malaysia’s job market.” David added
