Speak With a Recruitment SpecialistHolding JTKSM Licence C No. 657 — the highest-tier foreign worker recruitment authorisation in Peninsular Malaysia — and operating continuously since 1989, Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd. brings 37 years of structured recruitment experience to every employer engagement. Our compliance framework meets the requirements of JTKSM, the Immigration Department, DOSH, RBA auditors, and SMETA assessors.
The most comprehensive foreign worker recruitment authorisation in Peninsular Malaysia, issued by the Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia (JTKSM) under the Private Employment Agencies Act 1981. Covers all JTKSM-approved sectors and all seven source countries — no sector restrictions, no unlicensed intermediary risk for employers.
Founded in 1989, Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd. has operated continuously for 37 years — longer than most recruitment agencies in Malaysia. This longevity means established government relationships, a verified employer client base, and documented track record across multiple regulatory cycles.
Direct partnerships with government-authorised agents in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Nepal, Myanmar, India, Pakistan, and Vietnam — enabling consistent worker supply, pre-screened candidate pipelines, faster mobilisation, and zero-cost recruitment that eliminates worker debt bondage risk for RBA and SMETA audits.
We manage the complete compliance chain in-house: FOMEMA medical screenings, PLKS applications and annual renewals, PERKESO (SOCSO) & EPF (KWSP) enrolment, Act 446 accommodation audits, HRD Corp documentation, absconder reporting to the Immigration Department Malaysia, and ePPAx system integration — reducing employer audit exposure at every stage.
Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd. provides JTKSM Licence C compliant foreign worker recruitment across Malaysia's highest-demand employment sectors. Every placement includes statutory enrolments (SOCSO, EPF), safety documentation, and Act 446 accommodation compliance coordination.
Foreign worker recruitment for electronics, FMCG, rubber, chemicals, and heavy manufacturing operations across Selangor, Penang, Johor, and Pahang. Workers sourced from JTKSM-approved countries and enrolled in SOCSO from day one, in compliance with the Department of Safety and Health Malaysia (DOSH) requirements.
CIDB-registered foreign workers — general workers, bar benders, formwork carpenters, scaffolders, and concreters — for residential, commercial, and government infrastructure projects. Managed under the Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) Act 520 and OSHA 1994.
Palm oil estate workers, rubber tappers, farm labourers, and aquaculture staff for operations across Sabah, Sarawak, Pahang, and Johor. Recruitment aligned with the Plantation Industry Labour Agreement (PILA) and FOMEMA pre-departure health screening requirements.
Warehouse assistants, forklift operators, hotel housekeeping, kitchen helpers, restaurant crew, cleaners, and facility management staff placed nationwide for Malaysian employers in logistics, hospitality, retail, and service operations.
Foreign worker recruitment in Malaysia is governed by multiple regulatory bodies including the Ministry of Human Resources (KESUMA), the Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia (JTKSM), and the Immigration Department Malaysia. Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd. manages employer compliance across all applicable frameworks — from quota application through to annual renewal and statutory reporting.
Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya holds the highest-tier JTKSM authorisation — Licence C No. 657 — issued by the Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia (JTKSM) under the Private Employment Agencies Act 1981. This licence covers all industries and all government-approved source countries, providing full regulatory coverage for employer clients.
All workers placed by Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya are enrolled in PERKESO (SOCSO) and EPF (KWSP) from their first working day — the most common compliance failure cited in JTKSM employer audits. This protects employers from penalties under the Employees' Social Security Act 1969 and the Employees Provident Fund Act 1991.
Foreign Workers Medical Examination Monitoring Agency (FOMEMA) screenings are mandatory for all foreign workers entering Malaysia under the Immigration Act 1959/63. We manage pre-departure and annual FOMEMA appointments, documentation, and referral follow-up — including replacement coordination where a worker does not pass medical clearance.
The Workers' Minimum Standards of Housing and Amenities Act 1990 (Act 446) sets legally enforceable minimum standards for foreign worker accommodation. We conduct Act 446 accommodation audits and provide documented inspection records that satisfy requirements from SMETA, RBA, and DOSH assessors.
The Foreign Workers Centralised Management System (FWCMS 2.0) is the Malaysian government's mandatory platform for employer quota applications. Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya manages the complete FWCMS 2.0 submission process — from initial registration and quota application through KDN security vetting, ePPAx integration, and PLKS work permit processing — reducing the administrative burden on employer HR teams.
All worker placements include employment contracts and documentation compliant with the Employment Act 1955 — covering working hours, rest days, overtime entitlements, annual leave, and termination procedures. Accurate employment documentation reduces employer exposure in JTKSM, DOSH, and Labour Department inspections.

Direct answer: With a JTKSM Licence C certified recruitment agency, the complete foreign worker recruitment process in Malaysia typically takes 30 to 45 days from quota approval to on-site deployment. The six-stage process covers:
High-volume placements, source-country documentation backlogs, or unusual KDN security review timelines may extend this schedule. Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd. assigns a dedicated compliance case manager to every employer engagement to track every stage, proactively resolve bottlenecks, and provide real-time status updates.
Direct answer: A Licence C is the highest-tier foreign worker recruitment authorisation in Peninsular Malaysia, issued by the Jabatan Tenaga Kerja Semenanjung Malaysia (JTKSM) under the Private Employment Agencies Act 1981. It is the only licence tier that authorises an agency to recruit, place, and manage foreign workers from all approved source countries across all industries. Employers using unlicensed agents — or agents holding lower-tier licences — expose themselves to regulatory penalties, permit cancellations, and prosecution.

Why only Licence C protects Malaysian employers fully:
Direct answer: Yes. Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd. is one of Malaysia's few premier recruitment firms providing both local and foreign worker recruitment services under a single JTKSM Licence C certified framework — eliminating the operational complexity of managing disparate recruitment vendors.
Our comprehensive service spectrum includes:
Direct answer: Malaysian employers hiring local or foreign workers must comply with seven primary legislative frameworks. Statutory non-compliance carries serious corporate risks, from severe administrative fines to work permit cancellations and structural prosecutions:
Direct answer: RBA (Responsible Business Alliance) and SMETA (Sedex Members Ethical Trade Audit) are ethical, social, and structural standards tracking international supply chains. For Malaysian manufacturers and global exporters, passing these audits is critically required to clear corporate ESG parameters and retain vendor rights with global multinational brands.
How Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd. secures your audit validation:
Direct answer: FWCMS 2.0 (Foreign Workers Centralised Management System) is the mandatory online architecture managed by the Malaysian government to handle all foreign recruitment phases. The framework requires employers to complete digital registration profiles, upload financial metrics, and pass critical human resources evaluation parameters via KESUMA (ePPAx checks) before procurement approvals are cleared.
Agensi Pekerjaan Andaraya Sdn. Bhd. directly structures your full FWCMS 2.0 configuration, safely handling system records tracking, managing compliance requirements, clearing documentation bottlenecks, and supervising paths seamlessly up to work permit execution.
