When managing regional expansion, local compliance, updating labor regulation, and lack of boots on the ground shouldn't slow you down.
You need to secure critical hires or market-entry leads immediately, but your local entity registration is months away.
You have found the right person, but need a compliant payroll framework to manage contracts, salaries, local taxes, and statutory contributions.
You are sending a foreign expert or executive to Vietnam, but work permits, visas, and relocation must be handled before they start.
You do not have local HR, payroll, or recruitment staff in Vietnam yet, so someone needs to manage the process from day one.
Download Manpower Vietnam’s guide for newly set-up businesses to get to know local hiring costs, talent availability, compliance, payroll, mobility, and workforce solutions before you build your team.
Hire employees legally under Manpower Vietnam's entity while you set up your business.
Secure seamless entry for your foreign experts, including work permits, business visas, and relocation without delays.
Access qualified local talent quickly - from your first hires to full teams.
Stay compliant with local labor laws, insurance, and tax regulations.
Start with the situation closest to yours. We will help you choose the right workforce model for your Vietnam entry.
You have identified the right person in Vietnam, but your company is not registered locally yet. We become the legal employer while you stay in control of their daily work.
This is a common first step for our clients - companies entering Vietnam from North America, the EU, Australia, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
Best-fit solution: Employer of Record (EOR)
You are ready to build your first team in Vietnam. We help you recruit, employ, and manage your initial hires, from sourcing to payroll, without requiring a local HR team on your side.
Many of our manufacturing and logistics clients in Northern and Southern Vietnam started from this exact scenario.
Best-fit solution: Recruitment + Employer of Record (EOR)
You are deploying a foreign national to Vietnam. We manage the full work permit, business visa and temporary residence card process, along with local onboarding and administrative support.
Work permit requirements in Vietnam vary by case and document profile. We have guided thousands of companies through the process with a strong track record of successful outcomes.
Best-fit solution: Mobility & Expatriate Services
You are ready to sell in Vietnam or test the market before a full setup. We help hire, employ, and manage local BD or sales staff quickly.
Sales is one of the most common first hires for foreign companies entering Vietnam, and we know what strong profiles look like in your industry.
Best-fit solution: Contingent Staffing
You are in the process of setting up an office in Vietnam. While registration is being finalized, which is expected to take 4 to 6 months, you need to bring in your Chief Representative and hire your first local employees. Both require proper legal employment arrangements from day one.
We help companies at this stage secure work permits for incoming foreign executives and support the transfer of local employees to your entity as soon as your office is registered.
Best-fit solution: Mobility + Staffing
We follow a clear, structured process, so you understand the scope, timeline, costs, market requirements, and compliance considerations before moving forward.
We review your Vietnam entry plan, hiring needs, work location, candidate status, timeline, and budget. No obligations, just a clear understanding of where you are and what you need.
Within 24 working hours, we recommend the most suitable setup for your situation. The recommendation is based on your actual requirements, not a one-size-fits-all approach.
We walk you through staffing costs, statutory obligations, payroll structure, and compliance requirements, so you understand what to expect before making any commitment.
Once the model is agreed, we activate the setup and confirm the required documents, responsibilities, and timeline.
- Recruitment: candidate search starts within 1 working day
- Mobility: work permit and visa process starts within 2 working days
- EOR/Staffing: ready in 3-7 working days
These timelines assume complete documentation from the client. Any missing items will be flagged during Step 3.
We support hiring when needed, onboard selected candidates, or transfer existing hires into the right employment arrangement. We also manage payroll, employee relations, reporting, and ongoing workforce administration for as long as you need us.
