Kabel targets 5,000 job creations through 1-1-1 movement by Merdeka Day

KUALA LUMPUR: Kabel, a local artificial intelligence (AI)-based mobile recruitment platform, is targeting to create 5,000 jobs by Merdeka Day 2021 through its 11-1 Movement for companies and job-seeking Malaysians.

It said several companies and brands including Photobook Worldwide, Lalamove, Savour of Life, Wellesta Truelife, Asia Mobiliti and pitchIN have stepped forward to participate in the movement by each listing one job opportunity on Kabel, ahead of the movement’s official launch on Aug 1.

“Approximately 200 job seekers have also registered on Kabel’s job recruitment app to participate and be part of the talent pool,” it said in a statement yesterday.

Kabel said there is zero cost of entry for either companies or job seekers to join the movement.

It said interested companies and job seekers could join the movement via the website https://www.kabel.my/1-1-1movement and workshops would be conducted for jobseekers at the end of July 2021 to prepare them for a potential interview.

Founder Camelia Loh said the concept behind the 1-1-1 Movement is to get companies to list just one job, match one job seeker and successfully realise one employment opportunity at a time.

“With many out of work, companies now face double or triple the influx of applications, making it time-consuming to filter and respond to each. Our aim is to facilitate a more productive and fruitful process for both the company and the job seeker,” she added. — Bernama
