Company details

  1. Human Resource Consulting

Written by the company

Second Talent was founded after our previous company experienced firsthand how difficult it was to build a reliable engineering team across Asia. We weren't looking to offshore work, we were looking for great engineers. The problem was that the existing platforms weren't built for that. So we built our own. Today, Second Talent connects 200+ companies globally with engineering talent across nine Asian markets: Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and Thailand. We've placed over 10,000 engineers into product teams in AI, SaaS, fintech, and e-commerce, companies that needed to move fast without compromising on quality or compliance. We handle sourcing, vetting, matching, and ongoing management so that engineers can focus on the work, and companies can focus on building.

Great hiring experience with Second Talent!

I had a very positive experience going through the hiring process with Second Talent. From the very beginning, the communication was clear, professional, and well organized. The recruiter took the time to explain the role, the project expectations, and the overall process in a way that made everything easy to understand.

Throughout the process, I really appreciated how responsive and supportive the team was. They provided timely updates, answered my questions clearly, and made sure I understood each step before moving forward. The coordination between the recruiter and the client team was smooth, which made the process feel transparent and efficient.

What stood out the most was how structured the entire hiring journey was. From the initial outreach, to the discussions about the role, and finally the onboarding preparation, everything was handled in a professional and respectful manner. The team made sure I felt comfortable with the expectations and schedule before proceeding.

Overall, I’m very satisfied with my experience working with Second Talent. They demonstrated strong communication, professionalism, and a genuine effort to ensure a smooth experience for candidates. I would definitely recommend Second Talent to other professionals looking for remote opportunities and well-managed recruitment processes.
