“We know of Malaysians who have gone through a rough patch after the Covid-19 pandemic hit the country, and people have started to experience job loss. As we move onto the next phase of the Conditional Movement Control Order, we hope to further our efforts in stabilising the livelihoods of Malaysians, by offering our platform for companies to connect with potential applicants, empowering job-seekers to bounce back on their feet,” said Lazada Malaysia chief executive officer Leo Chow.
With one-third of the Malaysian population shopping on the platform every month, Lazada enables companies to market job openings to more potential applicants.
From helping farmers and fishermen go online, partnering with NGOs for community aid, to offering a stimulus package to aid local SMEs, Jom Cari Kerja is Lazada Malaysia’s next step in its ongoing support to the community’s needs, and the nation’s economic rejuvenation.
