Our search consultants work both sides of the hiring table. That is what sets the team apart: we have run in-house recruitment functions at scale and we have sat on the agency side closing roles against a deadline, so we know what a hiring manager actually needs before the brief is finished being written.
Why clients choose us for ESS
Our consultants have spent more than 15 years on both external headhunting and internal HR and recruitment, entirely within IT and technology hiring. We have built the function from the inside and delivered against it from the outside, so we know where searches usually break down and how to keep them from breaking down on your side.
We do not work off a resume database. Our team understands how the talent market actually moves in Vietnam, across APAC, and more broadly across Asia: where the real supply sits, what compensation benchmarks hold up, and which moves candidates are realistically willing to make.
Our reach goes beyond Asia. We maintain an active network of talent across the US and Europe, and one of our strongest sources of candidates is the Việt Kiều community: overseas Vietnamese professionals with international experience who are looking to bring that experience home.
We would rather send you three candidates who are genuinely right for the role than thirty who are roughly close. Every search is built around fit, not volume, because a shortlist you have to filter yourself is not a shortlist at all.
No one reaches a client shortlist without first being interviewed in depth by one of our consultants, against the specific technical and cultural requirements of that role and that industry. We do the filtering work upfront so your team's time goes to candidates worth their time.
Our core strength is technical hiring, but we also headhunt the roles that keep a tech organization running: HR, Learning & Development, Marketing and Legal, specifically within fintech, banking, and blockchain companies, where domain fluency matters as much as the functional skill set.
