From Singapore to Vietnam: Building an Entire Team in 45 Days
In the fast-paced world of business expansion, time is a critical asset. When a leading accounting and auditing firm from Singapore decided to establish its first office in Vietnam, they had an ambitious and non-negotiable deadline: to hire a full team in just 45 days to meet a January 2024 launch date. They needed a partner who could not only find the right talent but could do so at an unprecedented speed. That's where Invest Talent JSC stepped in.
The Challenge: A Team of 10 in a Single Month
The firm needed to build its foundational team from the ground up, with a headcount of 10 professionals across three key departments:
- Auditing
- Accounting
- Sales & Account Management
This was a high-stakes challenge. A single delay could jeopardize the entire market entry plan and put their competitive advantage at risk. The client needed a solution that was efficient, precise, and unwavering in its commitment to quality.
Our Strategic Solution: A Four-Part Framework
At Invest Talent JSC, we believe that an aggressive timeline calls for a strategic, focused approach. Engaged in November 2023, we immediately deployed our agile recruitment framework:
- Rapid Needs Analysis: We began with a deep-dive session to understand the client's culture, specific role requirements, and long-term vision. This ensured every candidate we sourced was a perfect fit, not just on paper.
- Proactive Talent Sourcing: Instead of relying solely on job postings, our team leveraged its extensive network of passive candidates and industry experts in Vietnam. We proactively reached out to top professionals who possessed the right mix of technical skills and adaptability for a new market launch.
- Streamlined Screening: We took on the initial screening and vetting process entirely. By conducting thorough interviews and assessments, we presented the client with a curated shortlist of pre-qualified candidates. This drastically reduced their internal workload and accelerated decision-making.
- Continuous, Real-Time Collaboration: Despite the geographical distance, we maintained a seamless line of communication. We provided daily progress reports, shared detailed candidate profiles, and managed all scheduling logistics, ensuring a transparent and smooth hiring journey.
The Results: On-Time, On-Budget, and Beyond
By the end of December 2023, Invest Talent JSC successfully delivered. The client had hired all 10 professionals and was fully equipped to begin operations as planned in January 2024.
The success of this initial project was so impactful that the client chose to extend our partnership. They trusted us to handle the next phase of their expansion, which included hiring for their new Developers and Marketing teams.
This case study is a testament to what is possible with the right recruitment partner. It showcases how Invest Talent JSC helps businesses overcome complex hiring challenges and achieve their ambitious growth objectives with speed and quality.
