Seek, the parent company of Asia's top online employment platforms Jobstreet and Jobsdb, has announced key leadership changes to drive its regional growth strategy.
Vic Sithasanan, who has been leading operations in Malaysia since 2021, will now be Managing Director (MD) for Jobstreet in Singapore. This move leverages his successful track record in Malaysia to boost operational efficiency and growth in Singapore. At the same time, Nicholas Lam, former regional head of development and monetisation for Asia at Seek, has been appointed as the new MD for Jobstreet in Malaysia.
In their roles, Vic and Lam will lead the business growth and operations in Singapore and Malaysia, respectively, leveraging Jobstreet’s strong presence of over 25 years to drive continued expansion and market leadership.
During his three-year tenure as MD in Malaysia, Vic nearly doubled the company's revenue, driving substantial financial growth and cementing Jobstreet's market leadership. He also built strong partnerships with top employers across industries, solidifying Jobstreet’s reputation as the preferred recruitment platform for both job seekers and businesses in Malaysia.
Prior to joining Seek, Vic held senior leadership roles in digital technology businesses across Asia, where he successfully drove growth in both local and regional operations.
“I’m excited about this new chapter in Singapore. The opportunities in this market are immense with Singapore being one of the leading business and talent hubs not just in the region, but in the world. I look forward to leveraging my experience to drive our strategic vision forward while delivering value to talent and employers in the country”, Vic said.
Stepping into the role of MD for Malaysia, Lam brings a wealth of experience and strategic insight, honed through his previous role where he played a pivotal part in shaping and executing commercial strategies that drove Seek’s regional expansion. He first joined Seek in 2018, where he set up and led the regional customer experience and service operations functions across Seek’s six Asian markets. Before Seek, Lam held senior leadership roles in the media industry and worked as a management consultant specialising in strategy and operations transformation across various sectors.
Lam said, “It’s a privilege to step into this role and lead the charge in advancing our mission. Working alongside our talented team in Malaysia, I’m excited to engage directly with job seekers and employers to drive impactful changes in the job market. Together, we will empower individuals to unlock their full potential, connect them with opportunities that transform their lives, and create a stronger, more dynamic workforce for the future”.
