KUALA LUMPUR: The hiring market in Malaysia is likely to remain slow and conservative in most sectors in 2021, with growth expected in key areas such as business strategy, digitalisation, healthcare and renewable energy, according to a survey.

The salary survey for 2021, published by Robert Walters, a specialist professional recruitment consultancy firm, said the conservative trend is expected to continue at least for the first half of the year as businesses adapt to the repercussions of Covid-19 and the latest movement control order.
