Licensed recruitment agency
Tech Talent was founded in 2019 by Datin Malliga Subramaniam with a clear purpose: to build a recruitment firm that treats both clients and candidates with the professionalism and transparency they deserve. Starting with IT permanent and contract staffing, we have grown into a full-service talent partner covering permanent recruitment, executive search, staff augmentation, Build–Operate–Transfer, RPO, Employer of Record, BPO, payroll, Employment Pass support, and specialist programmes such as free salary research and HRDC AI productivity training for recruiters.
We are a licensed employment agency under the Ministry of Human Resources Malaysia (JTKSM 1304), operating with full compliance to Malaysian employment law. Every placement we make is backed by a structured screening process, a transparent fee model, and a guarantee that protects our clients.
Today, Tech Talent operates from Ara Damansara, Petaling Jaya, and serves clients across Malaysia's banking, technology, telco, manufacturing, data-centre, and services sectors — placing software engineers, data professionals, cloud and DevOps specialists, cybersecurity experts, data-centre engineering and IT infrastructure talent, and IT leaders across the Klang Valley and nationwide.

Qualified candidates, not stacks of CVs.
We operate transparently — in our fees, our screening process, and our communication. Clients know exactly what they are paying and why. Candidates are treated with honesty and respect at every stage.
We do not send CVs to fill a quota. Every candidate we present has been evaluated for technical fit, cultural alignment, and long-term suitability. Quality over volume, every time.
We work as an extension of your hiring team — not a vendor. We invest time in understanding your business, your team, and the kind of people who succeed in your environment.
The technology landscape changes fast. We continuously invest in our screening tools, candidate network, and market knowledge to stay ahead of what our clients need.
