You'll also help us strengthen how we show up as an employer, build relationships with talent communities and support people and culture initiatives across the company.

You'll take ownership of:

• Talent Acquisition: Manage end-to-end recruitment across retail, HQ and different business functions, from sourcing and screening through to interviews and offers.


• Talent Sourcing: Build and maintain talent pipelines through LinkedIn, job portals, referrals, universities, networking events and other relevant channels.

• People Initiatives: Support wider People Team projects as 3cat continues to grow.

Who We're Looking For

You'll be speaking with candidates, hiring managers, employees and external communities regularly, so being comfortable building relationships and representing 3cat is important.

We're looking for someone who:

• Has 2 to 5 years of experience in Talent Acquisition, Recruitment, HR, Employer Branding or a related field.


• Has experience managing recruitment across different roles and functions.


• Is confident sourcing candidates and building talent pipelines, not just relying on job applications.

• Is comfortable working closely with hiring managers and different stakeholders.


• Has strong written communication skills and can support recruitment and employer branding content.


• Is organised and able to manage multiple roles and priorities at the same time.


• Is proactive, resourceful and comfortable figuring things out in a fast-moving environment.


• Is passionate about people, talent and building a great place to work.

Experience in a startup, scale-up, retail, technology or consumer-facing business would be an advantage.

A Bachelor's Degree in Human Resources, Business, Psychology, Communications, Marketing or a related field is preferred.

3cat started in 2023 as a single store in Kuala Lumpur, selling one thing: pre-owned Apple products, done properly. Since then we’ve grown into one of Malaysia's largest AI-native retailers of quality used electronics, with 20+ stores nationwide and a tech platform that powers everything we do, from how we price a device to how we serve a customer.

We believe great tech shouldn't cost the earth. Every device we sell is up to 60% cheaper than new, backed by a 12-month warranty and a 15-day return policy. Every device we sell is also one less device in a landfill.

Our Vision

Make secondhand tech the first choice. It's smarter, cheaper, and better for the planet.

\"First change your device, then change the world.\"

Life at 3cat: Our Values

Forget the posters on the wall. This is how we actually work, collaborate, decide, and win, every single day.

Speak Truth. So problems don't hide. No sugarcoating, no \"I'll bring it up later.\" If something's off, we say it, straight up, to the person who needs to hear it. Awkward conversations now beat bigger messes later.

Team as One. So challenges become opportunities. There's no \"that's not my department\" here. Store, HR, tech, ops, we're one team chasing one scoreboard. When something breaks, we fix it together, not point fingers at each other.

Own It. So accountability becomes action. See something broken? Fix it. Don't wait for permission, don't wait for someone else to notice. We hire people who take the wheel, not people who wait for directions.

Customer First. So trust becomes loyalty. Every call we make starts with one question: does this make things better for the customer? Get that right often enough, and trust turns into people who keep coming back, and keep telling their friends.

Keep Moving.So good becomes great. \"Good enough\" isn't a finish line here, it's a checkpoint. We move fast, we learn faster, and we're always asking what's next.

This is the energy behind 3cat. If it sounds like your kind of workplace, you'll fit right in.

Ready to Join Us?

We're solving one of the world's fastest growing waste problems while making good tech affordable. We're just getting started, and we want you building the next chapter with us.
