How VietAssist Finds Top Vietnamese Talent (Even Before They're on the Market)

Admin Team August 07, 2024

In today’s tight labor market, finding great talent is hard. Finding great remote talent in another country—before your competitors even know they exist? That’s a whole different game. We consistently find top-tier candidates before they even hit the job boards. Let’s pull back the curtain and show you exactly how we do it.

Our 5-Step Method for Finding A-Players Before They’re Available

1. We Build Talent Pipelines by Specialty

We don’t wait for open roles to start recruiting. We continuously build warm talent pipelines in high-demand roles like Senior Full Stack Developers, Mobile Engineers, and B2B SaaS Customer Success Reps. When you come to us with a role, we’re not starting from scratch—we’re curating.

2. We Actively Source Passive Talent (the Hidden Market)

Using a blend of headhunting tactics and community outreach, we reach professionals who aren't actively applying to jobs but would consider a switch for the right remote opportunity. We use advanced searches, outreach into invite-only tech communities, and personal, localized messages.

3. We Screen for Culture, English & Remote-Readiness

We know remote hiring needs more than a skill match. Every candidate is vetted for English proficiency, remote communication habits (Slack, Notion, async tools), time zone flexibility, and cultural compatibility with U.S. teams. Our process includes behavioral interviews, role-specific tests, and real-world scenario assessments.

4. We Nurture Talent Long Before You Hire

Top candidates often aren’t ready now, but may be ready in 2–3 months. We keep them engaged with personalized follow-ups, market insights, and exclusive event invitations. We turn “someday candidates” into ready-to-hire candidates at just the right time.

5. We Focus on Retention, Not Just Placement

We don’t just aim to fill a seat; we aim to help you build a loyal, long-term team. This means setting correct salary expectations, advising on cross-cultural onboarding, offering compliant EOR services, and checking in with both you and the candidate during the first 90 days.

Why This Approach Works

Because we focus on relationship-based recruiting, industry-specific pipelines, and localized screening, our clients routinely tell us: “This is better talent than we can even find in the U.S.—at a fraction of the cost.” And they stay longer, too.
