From a quick survey of this forum, the majority of job seekers looking towards Malaysia seem to be IT related. However, Malaysia has a good supply of this type of specialist and therefore successful applicants recruited from overseas are few in number and mainly for middle management positions.
For example, there are many ongoing Malaysian infrastructure projects involving Bridges, Highways, Rail, Structural and Civil structures that need experts. Workers are often sourced from overseas to fill these types of vacancy. So are engineers generally so well paid and have good job prospects in their home countries that they do not frequently seek overseas assignments?
What categories of workers want to relocate to Malaysia?

Hi they get jobs the old fashioned way via expat contract. They don't crawl the web looking for jobs.

Would you say using LinkedIn works for people looking for jobs? I've heard good results from people being headhunted as they really had put a good profile there. Others say its just too competitive with hundreds of applicants for vacancies. Is it a good source for people wanting to get work overseas?

Depends on your skills/ability/experience.
I get contacted about jobs as I am in an in demand area. Then 100s complain they can't get a job - but you look at what they have and it is unmarketable.

Agree = there are jobs but applicants have to be top of the stack. I have access to lots of design management engineer jobs as detailed earlier. If no-one wants them - so be it....
