Malaysia’s Perkeso signs for Employment Platform
WCC expands in Asian market
Utrecht – NL, March 29, 2019. The Malaysian Public Employment Service “Pertubuhan Keselamatan Sosial” (Perkeso) has awarded WCC a contract to supply and implement the WCC Employment Platform. WCC’s Search & Match solution will help Perkeso support jobseekers, employers, as well as employment service officers in the country.
Perkeso has a background in ‘Return to Work’ programs for injured and disabled people in Malaysia. In its role as a Public Employment Service (PES), it is therefore in the strongest position to help unemployed people. Perkeso has in fact been building up this capacity since the beginning of 2018. As a result, it saw the need for a professional and off-the shelf software solution to meet the challenges it faced. For example, only 350 employment service officers are available for a workforce of some 15.5 million people. Perkeso therefore looked for a scalable solution that would optimize its efficiency as a PES. Through the worldwide Public Employment Service association, it not only found a partner – in cooperation with Belgian VDAB. But also a complete solution with the help of WCC.
Perkeso is now equipped with the efficient and effective solution every PES needs to meet future challenges in the labor market. With a combination of Jobseeker Search & Match portal, Employer portal and Caseworker application, all built on the unrivaled WCC Employment Platform.
