"Currently job seekers have three pintu as an alternative. Pintu those are registered agents, special employment agencies, and other local agencies. Registered agent means a company licensed by the Ministry of Manpower. Job seekers go to each registered agent and go through a different recruitment and interview process, depending on the process at each agency."

The test can take place in layers. Other local agencies provide placement services for a fee. The amount of the fee also varies depending on the local agent.
