Depends

Should I use Jobstreet?

Not disclosed - jobstreet.com

· 2 weeks ago

Job seekers in Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia, or Singapore use it. It is the regional default. Employers outside SEA, or anyone wanting transparent pricing and a clean security record, use LinkedIn or Indeed instead.
