Information Technology & Telecommunications FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Investment in this area has grown rapidly, and the pool of professionals with hands-on data centre or cloud infrastructure experience hasn't scaled at the same pace, making experienced candidates highly sought after.
Standard software development roles can often be filled within 4 to 6 weeks. Specialised infrastructure or cybersecurity roles may take longer given the smaller qualified candidate pool.
Beyond technical certifications, look for candidates with hands-on experience managing live infrastructure, since theoretical knowledge doesn't always translate to operational readiness.
Yes. PERSOL Malaysia places both permanent technology professionals and contract IT staff for project-based infrastructure and development work.
A recruiter with technical fluency can properly assess whether a candidate's experience actually matches your infrastructure needs, rather than relying on keyword matching alone.
