MR Arshwin

President & Founder

Arshwin's career in Human Resources spans over 11 years, beginning at the age of 17 as a waiter in the F&B industry. This early experience laid the foundation for his expertise and understanding of the industry's dynamics. Having come from a challenging background with minimal education and support, Arshwin understands the struggles of candidates facing similar circumstances. At 21, he transitioned to the shared services industry, working as an HR Specialist for the APAC market. It was during this time that Arshwin identified a significant gap between HR personnel and candidates. Recognizing that traditional job portals were insufficient, he saw the need for more effective social media tools to help HR professionals post jobs and share industry insights. This realization led Arshwin to establish the Recruiters Association Malaysia (RAM) as a community to bridge the gap between candidates and recruiters. Partnering with industry leaders and local communities, RAM officially became an NGO in 2019. Under Arshwin's leadership, RAM has grown to be a pillar of support for candidates, especially those from smaller colleges and universities. Today, RAM has developed a new membership platform aimed at combating recruitment scams. This platform provides recruiters and HR personnel with membership IDs, allowing candidates to verify their legitimacy and reduce fraudulent activities. RAM is also preparing to launch Malaysia’s first marketplace, inspired by the Yellow Pages concept. In addition, RAM offers career coaching, resume reviews, and industrial relations advisory services at minimal cost, all provided remotely to ensure accessibility.
