Indonesian people have diverse considerations when searching for a job.

This is evident from a survey report by Populix and KitaLulus, titled *Bridging the Gap: Understanding Job Mismatch in Today’s Workforce*.

According to the survey, the majority, or 75% of respondents, prioritize salary as their main consideration when looking for a job.

Furthermore, 69% of respondents considered experience or self-development, 59% considered career progression, and 51% considered the team or work environment.

Additionally, 50% sought jobs in their area of residence, 43% considered facilities and benefits, 32% considered work schedule flexibility, 27% looked for connections, and 26% considered work location flexibility.

Other considerations included opportunities for self-actualization, workload suitability, work-life balance, and other factors as shown in the graph.

"The job search process is not merely about finding available positions, but also about assessing whether the job aligns with the aspirations and circumstances of each job seeker," wrote Populix in its report.

The Populix and KitaLulus survey was conducted online in June 2024, involving 1,330 job-seeking respondents across Indonesia. Specifically, 70% of respondents were from Java and 30% from outside Java.

The respondents comprised 64% male and 36% female. 66% of respondents were unemployed, and 34% were employed at the time of the survey.
