Subang Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia - The world of early career talent acquisition has been compared to decoding a secret language, particularly when it comes to Gen Z, who have been labelled notorious for ‘ghosting’ potential employers. 

Employers frequently face the frustration of engaging with promising candidates, only to be met with silence after initial communication or interviews. Additionally, mismatched expectations between employers and Gen Z candidates—whether it’s around salary, job responsibilities, or work culture—add another layer of difficulty to the hiring process.

To tackle these challenges head-on, Kabel recently hosted an honest roundtable discussion with a diverse group of stakeholders, including company founders, HR practitioners, and university career representatives. The goal was to highlight and engage in an open conversation about these issues, exploring how to better align the expectations of employers with the values and needs of early-career talent.

“Ghosting isn’t the problem. Misalignment is. Kabel bridges the gap between employers and early talent - making hiring smarter, faster, and more transparent for everyone.” Camelia Loh, Founder and CEO, Kabel.

Kabel hiring platform offers a unique solution by addressing both sides of the problem. For employers, Kabel’s data-driven hiring tools streamline the recruitment process. The platform pre-qualifies candidates, matching them with job roles based on their skills, interests, and values, ensuring a stronger fit right from the start. By instantly recommending the top 10 candidates for a given role, Kabel helps companies avoid the lengthy process of sifting through dozens of unqualified applicants, which often leads to ghosting when candidates lose interest or feel mismatched.

For Gen Z candidates, the Kabel job platform offers a seamless, transparent job search experience. Graduates can find internships and job opportunities in tech, engineering, marketing, business and more, based on preferences such as salary, distance, and work environment. This reduces the risk of mismatched expectations, often leading to ghosting after an offer is made. Moreover, Kabel’s chat-based communication through WhatsApp allows for quick and direct interaction, fostering a more engaging and transparent hiring process for young talent.

 

As a platform that is centered on innovation, Kabel has made its website seamless and user-intuitive for mobile and desktop devices. Beyond job matching, Kabel is a knowledge hub for the future of work — packed with actionable insights and resources for both employers and students navigating hiring, growth, and careers.

From its ability to reach quality candidates with less work, Kabel has connected young graduates with employers from different companies, including WCT, Advantage Medical Clinic, Shopper360, Engage Life, and many more. The platform has also received many glowing reviews from graduates, candidates, and employers. 

Kabel is inviting companies to join its growing network of employers who seek to scale hiring and build stronger, future-ready teams.
