What most companies get wrong when choosing
a Staffing Partner in Vietnam

Vietnam’s workforce rules are changing fast, and regional playbooks do not always apply. When demand shifts, the issue is not HR capability, but having the right local expertise at the right time.

!

The lowest service fee is rarely the lowest outcome

A low service fee can become expensive if fill rates are weak, launch dates slip, or workforce quality affects daily operations. The better question is not just “What is your rate?” but “Can you deliver consistently, and prove it?

!

Setup takes longer than most people plan for

Getting workers ready is not only about finding candidates. Contracts, insurance registration, onboarding, payroll configuration, and coordination all take time. For first-time setups, this usually requires 2 to 7 working days after service agreement signing.
