JobShifu/Research/Relisting/Malaysia

Updated 2026-08-18

How often are jobs in Malaysia relisted?

About one in 13 of the 4,476 open roles in Malaysia has been posted, closed, and posted again — the same requisition, on the same employer board.

7.7% of 4,476 open roles in Malaysia, across 251 employers, have been relisted at least once. The rate across every role JobShifu tracks is 5.1%.

How this was measured

JobShifu crawls employer applicant-tracking systems directly rather than buying a feed, so it sees a requisition disappear from a careers page and come back. A posting counts as relisted when the same requisition identifier was observed closed and later reopened; a second opening under a new identifier is a different job and is not counted.

3 rows were withheld above. Any figure resting on fewer than 25 postings, or spanning fewer than 5 employers, is reported as withheld rather than shown — at that size it describes one employer's hiring, not a market rate. Relist counts faster than a real requisition could turn over are excluded entirely; those come from instability in our own crawler, not from employers.
