Expanding into Southeast Asia is a priority for many global businesses—and Vietnam is often at the top of the list. With its young workforce, competitive labor costs, and strategic location, Vietnam has become a hub for companies looking to scale operations, especially in technology, manufacturing, and services.
Yet, hiring in Vietnam isn’t without challenges. From navigating complex labor laws to handling payroll, taxes, and compliance, setting up a local entity can be costly and time-consuming. That’s where an Employer of Record (EOR) solution comes in.
Why Vietnam?
Vietnam is one of Asia’s fastest-growing economies, offering unique advantages for international businesses:
- Skilled Talent Pool – A workforce that’s young, tech-savvy, and increasingly fluent in English.
- Cost Efficiency – Competitive salary levels compared to neighboring markets.
- Strategic Location – A gateway to Southeast Asia, with strong trade ties to the US, EU, and major Asian economies.
- Business-Friendly Policies – Ongoing reforms and international agreements make Vietnam a more attractive destination for global companies.
For companies in IT, engineering, e-commerce, and professional services, Vietnam is not just an outsourcing hub—it’s a strategic talent market.
The Challenges of Hiring in Vietnam
While the opportunities are clear, the hurdles can’t be ignored:
- Complex Regulations – Labor laws are detailed and constantly evolving.
- Entity Setup – Establishing a subsidiary can take months and requires significant investment.
- Compliance Risks – Missteps in payroll, taxation, or contracts can lead to fines and reputational damage.
- Cultural & HR Nuances – Employee expectations around benefits, career growth, and workplace culture vary.
These challenges often slow down market entry and increase costs for companies that want to act fast.
