PASIR GUDANG: The use of artificial intelligence (AI) by the MYFutureJobs platform is aimed at improving job-matching accuracy, says Datuk Seri R. Ramanan (pic).
The Human Resources Minister said the move has created a more mature labour market ecosystem to ensure every job created not only meets market demand but also offers higher wages and matches jobseekers’ qualifications.
“It is useless if we create job opportunities that are not decent, not well-paid and not suitable for jobseekers. That is why we have MYFutureJobs. More than 300,000 job applications have been recorded, with 200,000 successfully matched, while over 100,000 job vacancies are still available on the platform,” he told reporters at the Sree Maha Mariamman Temple here yesterday.
Ramanan said MYFutureJobs uses AI to generate job matches based on applicants’ qualifications.
MYFutureJobs now averages 7.5 million monthly visits, linking three million jobseekers with over 100,000 employers nationwide.
In February, the Social Security Organisation (PERKESO) said the job placement strategy through MYFutureJobs recorded a 28% rise in high-skilled positions in specialised industries last year.
PERKESO said the surge represented 32,887 placements in 2025, up from 23,638 in 2024.
On Friday, Pakatan Harapan launched its Johor state election manifesto, themed “Johor for All”, outlining 10 key pledges covering healthcare, housing, entrepreneurship, education, agriculture, transport and employment.
Among the pledges is a target to create 250,000 high-paying and decent jobs in Johor through the development of modern and high-value industries.
The target will be achieved by creating 50,000 jobs annually, together with efforts to raise Johor’s median wage by at least 30%, Bernama reported.
