Employee Recruitment Readiness Assessment

This free self-check helps HR and recruitment staff in Malaysia see how well they plan and run recruitment.

You get a score, the area to strengthen first, and a printable checklist for every vacancy.

15 statements, about 5 minutes.

Your answers stay on this device until you ask for your report.

Where should we send your report?

We email you a link to confirm. Your report opens after you click it.

How we use your details: only to send this report and, if you ticked the box, tips about training. You can unsubscribe or delete your data from any email. For people aged 18 and over. Privacy notice version 2026-10-16.

This is a self-check, not an exam or a certificate.

Why check this now?

Find your gaps before an audit or a review does.

Every unfilled or wrongly filled role costs output and money. Recruitment that relies on one job portal and gut feel struggles to keep up.

What does the assessment ask?

Rate each statement from Not yet to Always. These are the statements, by area.

Vacancy planning

  1. Every vacancy starts with an approved requisition and budget.
  2. I write or update the job description and requirements before advertising.
  3. I decide whether to fill a role internally or externally using agreed criteria.
  4. I track time to fill and cost per hire for each vacancy.

Advertising and sourcing

  1. I advertise internal vacancies to staff through a clear, open process.
  2. Job ads describe the work and requirements without discriminatory wording on gender, race, religion, age or disability.
  3. I choose channels that suit each role, such as MYFutureJobs, job portals, campuses and staff referrals.
  4. I give every shortlisted candidate a clear next step and timeline.

Candidate experience and data

  1. I tell candidates how their personal data will be used, in line with the PDPA.
  2. I keep applications secure and archive or delete them after a set retention period.
  3. I inform unsuccessful candidates of the outcome.

Recruitment agencies and outsourcing

  1. I check that any recruitment agency we use holds a valid licence under the Private Employment Agencies Act 1981.
  2. Each agency has a signed agreement covering fees, replacement terms and data protection.
  3. I brief agencies with a written job description and selection criteria.
  4. I review agency performance on quality of hire, speed and cost.

Frequently asked questions.

Short answers to what people ask first.

How is my score worked out?

You rate each statement from Not yet (0) to Always (3). Your score is the percentage of the maximum points, and your lowest scoring section shows which course to look at first.

Does a high score mean I am certified?

No. This is a self-check of your current practice, not part of the Certified HR Recruitment Manager assessment. The certification is earned by completing its core courses and assessment.

Who is this assessment for?

HR executives, recruiters and hiring managers who plan vacancies, advertise roles or work with recruitment agencies in Malaysia.

Is the Employee Recruitment Readiness Assessment free?

Yes. You can answer every statement and see your readiness band without signing up. Your email is asked for only if you want the detailed report and the PDF checklist.

Do you store my answers?

Not until you ask for your report. Until then your answers stay in this browser. After you confirm your email, they are kept with your report and you can delete them from any email we send.

What happens after the assessment?

Your report recommends one next step: the half-day introductory class, the core course for your weakest area, or the certification when you are ready.
