Each country has its own statutory framework. We handle EPF, SOCSO, EIS, and HRDF in Malaysia; CPF, SDL, FWL, and SHG levies (CDAC/ECF/MBMF/SINDA) in Singapore; Social Security Office (SSO) contributions in Thailand; SI/UI/HI in Vietnam; and BPJS Kesehatan and Ketenagakerjaan in Indonesia. All calculated, deducted, and remitted on schedule through our locally-incorporated entities.
Can you hire across multiple countries simultaneously?+
Yes. We regularly handle regional engagements where employers hire across 3+ markets in parallel — typically a single point of contact in Malaysia coordinates with local consultants in each country. Useful when scaling a regional team, opening multiple country offices, or running a coordinated talent acquisition campaign.
What industries do you specialise in?+
We have specialist desks across 15 verticals: Aerospace, Automotive, Banking & Financial Services, Biotech, Chemical, Construction, FMCG, Healthcare, IT, Logistics, Marine & Offshore, Media, Oil & Gas, Real Estate, and Semiconductor. Consultants are organised either by industry (sector specialists) or by role (CFO search, regional sales heads, technical directors).
How do you assign a consultant to my account?+
After the initial scoping conversation, you'll be assigned a named consultant whose vertical and role expertise matches your needs. That consultant stays your primary point of contact throughout the engagement — and typically across future engagements too. Our senior consultants average decade-plus tenure with us.
What's the difference between recruitment and EOR services?+
Recruitment finds the right candidate for you to hire directly onto your own payroll. EOR (employer of record) means People Profilers becomes the legal employer of your hires in markets where you don't have a local entity — we handle payroll, statutory contributions, and employment compliance while they work day-to-day for you. EOR is typically used by companies expanding into new SEA markets before incorporating a local entity.
How quickly can you start work after engagement?+
Recruitment engagements can typically begin sourcing within a few days of a signed agreement. EOR and payroll setups depend on the country and complexity — Singapore and Malaysia typically run within 1-2 weeks; Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia may take 3-4 weeks due to local registration steps. We map this clearly during scoping.
