KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Reeracoen Malaysia, a leading provider of human resource services, has reported rising labour mobility in 2025, with the Malaysia Job Market Insights 2025 report finding that nine in ten Malaysians are now open to changing jobs due to slow hiring processes, shrinking bonuses and higher salary expectations.

The report reveals that 92% of Malaysian professionals are considering a job switch. Furthermore, 76% are actively seeking new opportunities, doing so weekly or even daily. Only 9% report not looking at all, highlighting strong mobility within the labour force. This trend is especially evident in Malaysia’s manufacturing, electronics, and services sectors, where competition for skilled talent is rapidly intensifying.

A combination of slower hiring processes, modest salary increments, and rising living costs is pushing more workers to explore alternative roles. Jobseekers cite slow employer response times as their top frustration, with 54% pointing to protracted communication as a significant barrier. Another 40% say long or complicated application procedures discourage them from applying.

Furthermore, the survey has found that interview delays directly increase cancellation rates. When interviews are scheduled within three days, 9% of candidates withdraw their applications. This rises to 18% when scheduled within three to seven days, and jumps to 26% when employers take more than seven days to schedule the interview. Experts note that companies responding within 48–72 hours tend to see significantly higher acceptance rates.

Over the past year, 45% of employees received pay increases ranging from 0.1% to 4.9%, while 22% received no pay raise at all. Bonuses remain modest, with 38% receiving less than one month’s bonus and only 17% receiving two months or more. These figures suggest growing tension between pay expectations and what employers can currently offer. With rising living costs and ongoing inflationary pressures, many professionals feel their salaries are not keeping pace, which further intensifies job-switching behaviour.

“Across Asia, job markets are shifting toward speed, transparency and efficiency. In Malaysia, we see a clear gap between how quickly candidates make decisions and how slowly many companies still hire. Organisations that adapt their talent strategies now will be the ones who win in the next stage of Malaysia’s economic growth,” said Kenji Naito, Group CEO, Reeracoen Group.

As job seekers consider more options and competition for talent intensifies, agencies continue to play an essential role in helping employers reach the right candidates. Although online job platforms are widely used, 48% of workers still work with recruitment firms. Reeracoen’s data finds that 70% of successful placements come from passive candidates, showing that agencies give employers access to talent beyond active applicant pools.

Reeracoen Malaysia engages with thousands of jobseekers and employers each month, giving the company real-time insight into workforce trends and hiring behaviours across key industries. “Malaysia’s job seekers are extremely active and selective today. Slow response times or unclear processes can cause companies to lose good candidates very quickly. Employers who move fast, communicate clearly and offer competitive rewards will have a strong advantage in 2025,” added Yohei Yagi, Country Manager, Reeracoen Malaysia.

Reeracoen Malaysia remains committed to supporting both businesses and job seekers during this period of transformation, offering timely insights and trusted recruitment solutions tailored to the evolving workforce needs.

WELLINGTON, New Zealand, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Appian (Nasdaq: APPN), a leading platform for AI-powered process automation, today announced that New Zealand Police is using the Appian Platform to reshape how New Zealand Police approaches case management. Promising results indicate using the Appian Platform has reduced turnaround from up to two weeks to just four hours.

Results indicate using the Appian Platform has reduced turnaround from up to two weeks to just four hours.

Solving operational inefficiencies

Before adopting the Appian Platform, case workflows were managed independently across three regional units using Microsoft Outlook. This setup created duplication and limited collaboration across the 12 policing districts.

“Our file management was inconsistent, and we identified that technology could streamline our process and support us to work more efficiently,” said Superintendent Blair Macdonald, Director of Service Group at New Zealand Police.

The Frontline File Management Team manually triaged all cases, identified priority matters, to then route it to the correct Police District. This process was time consuming.

Streamlined case management nationwide

Built on the Appian Platform, the new system centralises all incoming emails and case data, automating workflows and enabling nationwide access. It surfaces the correct case assignment rule based on offence code, location, and keywords. It is also possible to match this work to appropriately trained staff.

Since deployment, case backlogs have dropped from 4,000 to under 50 during most shifts. Staff can now collaborate in real time, regardless of location, and respond to public enquiries faster and more accurately.

“We are delivering a far superior service to the public,” Macdonald said. “Because we are clearing the queue faster, we can redeploy staff to higher value work and reduce follow-up requests from the public by keeping them informed earlier.”

Empowering staff and enhancing decision making

The transformation has shifted staff away from administrative overload toward meaningful case assessment.

“We are evolving staff roles by removing repetitive admin and giving them time to focus on what matters: understanding the file and helping the member of the public on the other end.”

“It was difficult for us to understand our demand. Now, we have analytics that support intentional decision making and allow us to deploy our staff where they are needed most,” Macdonald said.

Supporting New Zealand’s public safety vision

New Zealand Police believe using technology is an important part of modern policing. This success supports New Zealand Police’s goal of making New Zealand the safest country in the world.

“I look forward to the Service Group continuing to evolve through technology, ensuring we offer the best experience for our communities,” concluded Macdonald.

Clarifai and Arcee will work together to build and deploy U.S. open-source AI and LLMs alongside the world’s most advanced efforts

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Clarifai, a global leader in AI and pioneer of the full-stack AI platform, today announced a new partnership with Arcee AI to serve as the primary launch partner and hosting provider for Trinity, Arcee’s new family of open-weight foundation models. The collaboration not only accelerates Arcee’s launch but also demonstrates a repeatable blueprint for other model labs looking to bring their home-trained or open-weight models to market quickly and efficiently.

The Trinity models—Trinity Nano (6B) and Trinity Mini (26B)—are now fully available through Clarifai’s Compute Orchestration platform, giving developers, startups, and enterprises immediate access to high-efficiency, U.S.-built open-weight LLMs served through an OpenAI-compatible API. A larger third Trinity model is currently in development.

This marks a major milestone in the open-weight ecosystem: a U.S. model lab focused on performance-per-parameter partnering with a U.S. infrastructure platform known for delivering high-throughput, low-cost inference at scale.

“Arcee AI is demonstrating what’s possible with efficient, open-weight U.S. models, and we’re proud to bring their Trinity family to production through Clarifai’s Compute Orchestration platform. This launch reflects exactly what our infrastructure is designed for—making it fast, reliable, and cost-effective for model builders to deploy their own custom or open-weight LLMs without having to stand up their own inference stack,” said Matt Zeiler, Founder and CEO, Clarifai. “As more teams develop specialized models, Clarifai will continue to be the platform with the best price-performance, that brings those models from research environments to real-world scale.”
