Our Team
PSFM people and offices behind the recruitment process.
See the teams involved in employer communication and recruitment coordination.
Employers must verify
Legal entity, sector and subsector, current quota route, eligible source country, responsible applicant, job and contract terms, VDR and receiving process.
Workers must verify
Employer identity, role, work location, salary, deductions, benefits, accommodation, contract, authorised channel and official documents.
PSFM must verify
Original source, publication date, named authority, exact claim, conflicting updates, market-status threshold and whether public guidance remains current.
Evidence that is not enough
A forwarded message, social post, copied article, broker claim, old approval or generic foreign-worker page cannot independently establish a current individual vacancy or operational intake.
When action becomes appropriate
Candidate processing begins only after verified employer demand and the applicable active route are documented. Every later step remains conditional on its own approval.

Common recruitment questions
Is recruitment from Bangladesh to Malaysia operationally open now?
The bilateral reopening has been announced, but an official Bangladesh ministry update published on 28 August 2026 still described the market as set to reopen soon and told workers to wait for an official notice before paying money, undergoing medical examinations or submitting passports. PSFM therefore keeps the status Announced until an implementing authority publishes an active intake route, effective date and actionable process.
Which Malaysia sectors can employers review?
The Malaysian Immigration Department identifies manufacturing, construction, agriculture, plantation and services as approved foreign-worker sectors. Each employer requirement remains subject to the sector, quota, source-country, immigration, medical and other rules in force when the application is made.
Does a role example mean PSFM has a live vacancy or approved quota?
No. Role lists explain possible workforce categories only. A vacancy exists only when a verified Malaysian employer submits a current demand and the applicable authorities permit the route and process.
