Insights & Data

Southeast Asia Hiring Insights & Data

Only what we have real data or real delivery experience behind: a quarterly market report, a breakdown of how recruitment services are priced, a comparison of sourcing channels, and a practical guide to hiring across Southeast Asia.

Short answer

We only publish what we have real data or real delivery experience behind: a quarterly market report on Chinese-speaking roles in Southeast Asia (offer salaries, language demand, funnel), and a practical hiring guide (how to set up the employing entity, when to choose RPO / TAaaS vs single-role search, how work permits work by market). No generic thought leadership about industries we have never served.

🔹

Sourcing Channels

"Where do we actually find Chinese-speaking people in Malaysia" is the question we hear most. The answer depends on three things: how many hires, what kind of role, and how urgent. Here are the four mainstream channels, and how to combine them.

🔹

Pricing Explained

"How much would it cost you to hire for us" has no single answer, because the industry runs on four very different pricing models, buying four very different things. This piece explains each model, the common reference ranges, and how to compare two quotes without being tripped by mismatched terms.

🔹

Hiring Guide

These are the questions we are asked repeatedly, and the judgement we have built delivering on them. No pile of conclusions — just why we work this way and when it does not apply.

Market Report

This is not second-hand research. It comes from our own delivery pipeline: 185 open positions, 491 currency-tagged offer records, and 16,543 candidate tracking records. Every salary figure is layered by project type — because in cross-border hiring, shift pattern and role nature move pay far more than geography does.

📊
