General recruitment in Thailand, built on 24+ years
Permanent hiring in Thailand runs on a calendar as much as a market. Most white-collar staff will not resign before the annual bonus lands, so a search kicked off in November fills on a different timetable from the same search in May, and a client who does not know that reads a quiet December as a failing shortlist. On top of that sits a genuine premium for English, and a larger one for Japanese in the manufacturing corridor, where language rather than technical skill is often the binding constraint. Our Bangkok team recruits through People Profilers Bangkok Recruitment Co., Ltd. under Thailand Recruitment Licence น.1830/2565, screening against Thai labour law and verifying right to work before anyone reaches your shortlist. If you are weighing agency support against hiring direct, we have set out where a recruitment agency saves time and money in Thailand.
How our tiered placement fees work
One fee, set as a percentage of annual total remuneration and banded by seniority. The tier, the percentage and the replacement period attached to it are recorded in the engagement letter before anyone is approached. None of the commercial terms should be new information later.
Tier 1 - Junior
- ✓Lower percentage of annual total remuneration
- ✓First-tier replacement guarantee period
- ✓Executive, Associate, and Analyst placements
- ✓Suitable for high-volume seasonal hiring
Tier 2 - Mid
- ✓Mid-band percentage of annual total remuneration
- ✓Second-tier replacement guarantee period
- ✓Manager, Senior Manager, and Team Lead placements
- ✓Our most common engagement tier across 15 industries
Tier 3 - Senior
- ✓Higher percentage of annual total remuneration
- ✓Third-tier replacement guarantee period (longest)
- ✓Director-level mandates within General Recruitment scope
- ✓Bridges to our Executive Search practice at C-suite level
A minimum fee applies at every tier, and each placement carries one replacement guarantee. It activates on full settlement of the original invoice, is used once, and does not renew on the replacement hire.
What makes a Thai permanent search work
Searches stall for repeatable reasons. Three of them cause most of the trouble.
A timetable built around the bonus cycle
The brief describes the job instead of the decision. What is needed is whatever will separate two equally qualified finalists: the skill that cannot be taught, how the team actually operates, the thing the manager will not compromise on. Without it, the shortlist matches a document rather than a requirement.
Language scoped honestly at brief
The pipeline gets built after the search opens. Ours does not. The first names come from people our consultants already know from working the same sectors for years, which matters most for candidates who are doing well and are therefore not looking.
A guarantee written down, not implied
Nobody agrees in advance what happens if it fails. Each fee tier carries a replacement period, stated in the engagement letter, inside which the second search costs no further placement fee.

Frequently asked questions
Who is People Profilers Bangkok Recruitment Co., Ltd.?
People Profilers Bangkok Recruitment Co., Ltd. is the General Recruitment arm of People Profilers, a Southeast Asia HR group founded in 2002 with Thailand operations established 2022. We hold Thailand Recruitment Licence น.1830/2565 and place permanent talent across 15 industries in Thailand, with regional capability across Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, and Indonesia.
What roles do you cover under general recruitment?
Permanent hiring from first-job level to senior management: finance and accounting, sales and marketing, engineering and technical, operations and supply chain, technology, human resources, and customer-facing roles.
Above that, director and C-suite appointments run through executive search on retained or success fee terms, because the method differs and a tiered placement fee does not fit it.
How does your fee structure work?
A percentage of annual total remuneration, banded by seniority, with a minimum at each band. No hire, no fee.
The band, the percentage and the replacement period are settled in writing before anyone is approached, so the cost is known when you decide to engage rather than when the invoice arrives.
What does your replacement guarantee cover?
If the person leaves or does not work out inside the replacement period for your band, the second search carries no further placement fee.
It activates once the first invoice is settled in full and applies once per placement, so the replacement does not bring a fresh guarantee. Your band's period is stated in the engagement letter.
How long does a typical general recruitment search take?
About two weeks to a first shortlist where candidates are reasonably available, after which the timing belongs to whatever notice the person owes.
Narrow skills take longer, sometimes considerably. The usual reason a search drags, though, is the gap between first and second interview on the client side, and we will say so when that is what is happening rather than let it look like a sourcing failure.
