In uncertainty in addressing various issues affecting Malaysia and the world today, it is unlikely that the offer of academic expertise will be an agenda in empowering Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in Malaysia. Challenges such as technology and skill, financial and economy, political and administrative and social and work culture in the academic environment nowadays need to be taken into account as it will implicate the performance of HEIs and its rating standards internationally. This concept paper will try to discuss the challenges faced in the academic recruitment and selections and how it affects the performance of Malaysian HEIs.
