Access Vietnam's Talent Pool to Support Your APAC Operations
Vietnam has emerged as one of Southeast Asia's most significant talent markets for APAC organisations. Decades of industrial investment, a young and growing professional workforce, and Vietnam's position as a leading foreign direct investment destination have made it a primary source of manufacturing, technical, and increasingly professional talent for organisations across the region. PERSOL Vietnam gives APAC organisations direct access to that talent through a team with 25+ years of in-market experience across Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, backed by a regional network spanning 13 APAC markets and 80+ offices.
Vietnam's talent landscape is broader and deeper than many APAC organisations realise. The industrial and manufacturing sector has produced a large and experienced workforce across production, engineering, supply chain, and operations. Vietnam's technology sector is growing rapidly, with Ho Chi Minh City increasingly recognised as a regional tech hub. And the professional services, banking, and consumer goods sectors in both cities offer experienced management and specialist talent at competitive compensation levels. PERSOL Vietnam is part of the PERSOL Group, operating across 80+ offices in 13 APAC markets. Whether your organisation is establishing manufacturing or logistics operations in Vietnam, building a technology function in HCMC, or sourcing experienced Vietnamese professionals for roles in other APAC markets, our team provides the in-market expertise and regional coordination to make it work effectively.
Why APAC Organisations Choose PERSOL Vietnam
Access to Vietnam's Industrial and Manufacturing Talent
Vietnam's industrial zones have produced one of Southeast Asia's most experienced manufacturing, production engineering, supply chain, and logistics workforces. PERSOL Vietnam's coverage across both Hanoi and HCMC, and our experience with foreign-invested manufacturing enterprises, gives APAC organisations access to this talent pool through a partner who operates in these environments every day.
Technology and Professional Talent in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi
Ho Chi Minh City is increasingly a regional technology and professional services hub. For APAC organisations building IT, fintech, or corporate services functions in Vietnam, HCMC offers an experienced and cost-competitive talent base. Hanoi provides complementary talent across government-adjacent industries, manufacturing, and professional services.
