Jobstreet by SEEK today announced the renewal of its collaboration with TARA Foundation, continuing its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative to support underprivileged students across Malaysia. The partnership helps TARA Centres provide free after-school tuition and meals to children from low-income communities.
Since the collaboration began in 2023, Jobstreet by SEEK has sponsored 50 complimentary job advertisements, enabling TARA Foundation to recruit staff and serve over 1,000 students nationwide. Under the renewed agreement, valid until 31 July 2026, Jobstreet by SEEK will continue providing complimentary job postings for tutors, administrators, and support staff across TARA Foundation’s 29 learning centres.
The updated partnership also grants TARA Foundation access to Jobstreet by SEEK’s latest recruitment innovations, including AI-assisted job description writing, seekAi high-fit candidate prediction, analytics, and SEEK Pass for verified credentials. These tools streamline hiring processes, helping TARA Centres focus on delivering education and support to students.
Supporting “Mission Zero Dropouts”
TARA Foundation’s “Mission Zero Dropouts” programme addresses high school dropout rates among B40 students by offering structured academic support, nutritious meals, and a safe learning environment. Nearly 99% of school dropouts in Malaysia come from B40 families, highlighting the importance of organisations like TARA Foundation in providing academic and emotional support to help children stay in school.
Krishna Raj, Human Resources Director at TARA Foundation, said:
“Our centres rely on committed educators and administrators. Jobstreet by SEEK’s support has been invaluable in helping us recruit the right people to serve our growing number of centres.”
Empowering Purpose-Driven Hiring
Jobstreet by SEEK’s CSR efforts aim to bridge talent gaps while strengthening communities. By supporting TARA Foundation, the platform enhances access to meaningful roles, promotes skills development, and improves hiring efficiency. Early results show a faster, more diverse applicant pool with stronger alignment to job requirements, demonstrating tangible benefits of the collaboration. 
Nicholas Lam, Managing Director of Jobstreet by SEEK, added:
“Supporting TARA Foundation aligns with our mission to help Malaysians find meaningful careers. We are honoured to ease their hiring process so they can focus on transforming lives for the next generation.”
Driving National Impact
This renewed partnership reinforces Jobstreet by SEEK’s broader commitment to workforce development and community support. It exemplifies purpose-driven collaboration, enabling organisations—both corporate and non-profit—to access top talent efficiently while contributing to sustainable social impact.
