About the research
About the research
Talent Attraction Lab is a SEEK research study drawn from a comprehensive survey of more than 3,706 job candidates in Malaysia.
The information and graphs provided in connection with the Talent Attraction Lab research study are drawn from the responses to that survey.
Research methodology
SEEK worked with IPSOS, an independent research agency, to conduct the Talent Attraction Lab research study.
The respondents were sourced from the SEEK database.
Total sample size = 3,706 across Malaysia.
Respondents were:
Aged 18 or over.
Looking to work in Malaysia.
Looking to change jobs within the next 2 years.
Respondents completed an online questionnaire which took approximately 15-20 minutes to complete
All responses are valid as of April-May 2024, the period during which the research was conducted.
Notes about the sample
Data in the portal will only be shown where sample sizes are robust enough for evaluation. The survey uses a technique called ‘Max-Diff’ to derive importance. The following rules have been put in place to ensure confidence in the data that is made available for analysis.
Where sample sizes are low, we have flagged for greater margin of error. Margin of error is a statistical term that relates to how much certainty you have that the research data reflects the whole population you are talking about. As the margin of error increases, more uncertainty is introduced. The data and insights are still valuable but we have flagged where margin of error is increasing. Our absolute cut off for sample sizes is below:
Max/Diff Drivers:
Min sample size is n = 100 for first level analysis (e.g. Industry or Seniority etc).
N = 50 – 100 can be used for sub analysis (e.g. Gender within Industry or Industry within Seniority etc.).
No sample size below n = 50 to be shared for the max/diff drivers.
Detailed Drivers:
Min sample size is n = 50 for the detailed breakdown.
N = 30 - 50 is indicative and caution should be used as data is coming from a low sample size and has an increased margin of error.
Nothing below n = 30 to be shown for the detailed drivers analysis
This data reflects those who are ‘in the market for a new job’ and not the ‘total population’ of Malaysia. This is because the sample is targeted to those who are looking to change jobs within the next 2 years. The demographic spread of respondents reflects this.
