About the Robert Walters Global Salary Survey for Malaysia 2016
Now in its seventeenth edition, the Robert Walters annual Global Salary Survey is the most comprehensive

Jia Lin, Hospitality at KDU University College Utropolis Glenmarie
review of professional salaries and recruitment trends around the world.
According to the latest annual Global Salary Survey from specialist professional recruitment firm Robert Walters, recruitment in Malaysia is likely to remain cautious in the first half of 2016 due to pressures from the weak Ringgit as well as falling crude oil prices. Across sectors, hiring is only anticipated either for replacement positions or within critical business units.
With a slowdown in recruitment, employers are turning their efforts towards upskilling their existing professionals. This strategic move is expected to assist companies with retaining their top talent in preparation for the economy’s recovery. Hiring is anticipated to rise in the latter half of 2016 as the Malaysian economy is expected to stabilise.
Published figures suggested that qualified job movers with the in-demand skills such as IT and corporate governance can expect an average overall salary package increment of 20-25% in 2016.
Sally Raj, Managing Director of Robert Walters Malaysia, comments: “In times of market uncertainty, companies need to see the long-term value of investing in their employees. Staff retention is now more crucial than ever as Malaysian professionals are highly motivated by training and development initiatives as well as leadership opportunities. Despite this general slowdown, growth is still forecasted within IT, corporate governance and Islamic banking, all of which are driving recruitment of top-tier skilled specialists. ”
