What HR services do you offer for employers?+
We offer end-to-end workforce solutions across three families: People & Talent (executive search, recruitment, contract staffing, IT staff augmentation, remote talent, RPO), Payroll & Employer (EOR, payroll outsourcing, BPO, HR shared services), and People Advisory & Mobility (outplacement, work permit & immigration, HR consulting). All delivered across Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia through 9 legal entities.
Which markets do you cover?+
We operate locally-incorporated entities in Vietnam, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, and Indonesia. Each market is staffed by in-country consultants who understand local employment law, tax, and statutory requirements. Cross-border engagements (e.g., hiring across 3 markets simultaneously) are managed through a single point of contact.
Are you a licensed employment agency?+
Yes. In Vietnam, People Profilers Services Vietnam Co., Ltd. holds Recruitment Licence 6208/2024/20/SLĐTBXH-VLATLĐ (under the Department of Home Affairs, Ho Chi Minh City) and a Staffing (Labour Leasing) Licence 14/2024/SHCM (People's Committee of Ho Chi Minh City).

What's your engagement model and fee structure?+
Fees vary by service. Executive search is offered on retained or success-fee basis (percentage of annual total remuneration). General recruitment is tiered with replacement guarantees. EOR and payroll services have per-active-employee or per-pay-cycle pricing with minimum terms. We share commercial terms transparently during the scoping conversation.
How do you handle statutory compliance across different markets?+
Each country has its own statutory framework.

Can you hire across multiple countries simultaneously?+
Yes. We regularly handle regional engagements where employers hire across 3+ markets in parallel — typically a single point of contact in Vietnam coordinates with local consultants in each country. Useful when scaling a regional team, opening multiple country offices, or running a coordinated talent acquisition campaign.
What industries do you specialise in?+
We have specialist desks across 15 verticals: Aerospace, Automotive, Banking & Financial Services, Biotech, Chemical, Construction, FMCG, Healthcare, IT, Logistics, Marine & Offshore, Media, Oil & Gas, Real Estate, and Semiconductor. Consultants are organised either by industry (sector specialists) or by role (CFO search, regional sales heads, technical directors).
How do you assign a consultant to my account?+
After the initial scoping conversation, you'll be assigned a named consultant whose vertical and role expertise matches your needs. That consultant stays your primary point of contact throughout the engagement — and typically across future engagements too. Our senior consultants average decade-plus tenure with us.
What's the difference between recruitment and EOR services?+
Recruitment finds the right candidate for you to hire directly onto your own payroll. EOR (employer of record) means People Profilers becomes the legal employer of your hires in markets where you don't have a local entity — we handle payroll, statutory contributions, and employment compliance while they work day-to-day for you. EOR is typically used by companies expanding into new SEA markets before incorporating a local entity.
How quickly can you start work after engagement?+
Recruitment engagements can typically begin sourcing within a few days of a signed agreement. EOR and payroll setups depend on the country and complexity — Singapore and Malaysia typically run within 1-2 weeks; Vietnam, Thailand, and Indonesia may take 3-4 weeks due to local registration steps. We map this clearly during scoping.
