IT & Telecommunications FAQs
Frequently asked questions
Vietnam offers a large, growing pool of technically skilled engineers at a competitive cost, combined with improving English proficiency and increasing familiarity with international development practices.
Standard software development roles can often be filled within 4 to 6 weeks. Specialised cloud, DevOps, or senior engineering roles may take longer given the more targeted skill set required.
Beyond technical skill, look for candidates with genuine experience working in cross-border or English-speaking teams, since communication gaps can undermine even strong technical work.
Yes. PERSOL Vietnam places both permanent technology professionals and contract staff for project-based development work.
A recruiter with technical fluency can properly assess whether a candidate's experience and communication ability actually fit an international-facing role, rather than relying on a CV alone.
