In late 2005, while working with one recruitment agency, me and a number of colleagues embarked on a research to list what we called the Best Companies to Work in Malaysia. The methodology involved a combination of studies covering the company size, their listing in Fortunes, their presence in Best Employers Award recipient list as well as our own finding when interviewing candidates. Perhaps because this is the first of its kind, the list got an undue attention.
There have been tremendous responses and feedback received regarding the list; the good, the bad, and the questions. Some web forumers even concluded that SKOR Career website got paid and involved in a conspiracy with some companies so that certain companies topped the list and some companies would not make it. In truth, no single cent was involved in the work. So much for a conspiracy theory. Last May when a Nanyang Siang Pau reporter contacted me to make a cover story about the list, I had to turn down with the reason that the list may not be accurate to be officially published.
But not to disappoint visitors who are yet to see it; here’s the list of the Malaysia Best Companies List for you view.
