Finding top talent has been challenging with the talent shortage globally. According to the recent Talent Shortage Study conducted by ManpowerGroup, 75% of employers are unable to find the talent they need. Most job sites postings designed for job seekers only covers 15% of the total candidate market today. There is an untapped candidate market from the majority of the talent today who are not actively seeking but are open to new opportunities.
EachHire, a Recruit Tech startup that is run by Malaysians from Ipoh and Sabah, has emerged as a game-changer in this competitive hiring landscape to address this hiring challenge. The headhunting platform built an internal candidate search engine tool which is integrated with GPT technology and complex technological processes to find hidden exceptional talent, helping to address the talent shortage challenge faced by companies today.
