Scale smarter
with Vietnam’s
top tech talent
Looking to grow your IT team efficiently? Vietnam combines high-quality talent, competitive costs, and a thriving tech ecosystem, making it one of the most attractive offshoring destinations in APAC.
Curious if offshoring is the right move for your business?
Why offshoring IT is a smart move
Finding and retaining top IT talent is increasingly challenging, and hiring comes with high costs and long recruitment cycles. With the right offshore strategy, you grow faster, hire smarter and keep costs under control, while you gain a team that works in sync with your business.
Cost savings without compromise: a pool of talented IT-professionals at your fingertips.
Scalability and flexibility: expand your team when needed, without long-term commitments.
A team in sync with your business: teams aligned with your time zone (or even 24/7 coverage)
Why (not) Vietnam?
For years, India and Eastern Europe have dominated the offshore IT market, but Vietnam is quickly catching up. With +50 000 new IT graduates annually, competitive salaries, and strong government support, it’s becoming one of the most attractive destinations for IT and tech outsourcing.
The biggest draw? Cost efficiency without compromising quality. Salaries are 40-50% lower than in other parts of APAC, however Vietnam’s work culture is known for problem-solving and adaptability. Add to that a stable economy, business-friendly regulations, and a thriving startup ecosystem, and it’s clear why more companies are making the shift.
Still have questions? Great, we’ve got answers
If your business is facing long hiring cycles, high salary costs, or a shortage of specialized IT talent, offshoring can provide a cost-effective and scalable alternative. Vietnam offers a large, highly skilled workforce, making it ideal for companies that need to grow their teams without inflating their budgets.
That said, offshoring requires clear communication, structured workflows, and the right local partner to be successful. We help businesses evaluate their needs and determine if Vietnam aligns with their goals.
We don’t just post job ads and hope for the best. We actively recruit from Vietnam’s top tech universities and IT hubs, leveraging local expertise, professional networks, and targeted headhunting to find the right candidates.
Our vetting process includes technical assessments tailored to your required skills (e.g., cloud, security, AI), behavioral and soft skills screening to ensure cultural fit and problem-solving abilities and test projects or trial periods for critical roles, ensuring candidates perform at the required level before full integration.
Yes, but successful integration requires the right structure, clear expectations, and strong communication.
We ensure a seamless setup through:
• Dedicated onboarding to align offshore teams with your company culture and processes.
• On-site leadership: a local manager is present in Vietnam to oversee operations, provide guidance, and ensure the team stays on track with your goals.
• Overlap in working hours to allow real-time collaboration.
• Regular check-ins to maintain alignment.
Having a local expert on-site means your offshore team gets the right support and structure. Many companies find that once the initial setup is done, offshore teams become a natural extension of their in-house workforce.
Vietnam is 6–7 hours ahead of Europe and 12–15 hours ahead of North America, which can be an advantage rather than a challenge.
• For European businesses, there’s a strong overlap in working hours.
• For US-based companies, teams can work in flexible shifts or follow a follow-the-sun model, ensuring work is being done even when your local team is offline.
Additionally, Vietnamese labor laws encourage overtime and night shifts, making it easier to align with Western schedules when needed.
Absolutely. Vietnam is investing heavily in cybersecurity and tightening regulations to align with international data protection standards. The government has introduced new laws on data privacy, IT security, and intellectual property protection, making it a safer outsourcing destination than ever before.
Additionally, we implement:
• Strict NDAs and IP protection agreements with all offshore employees.
• Secure development environments with restricted access where needed.
• Compliance with GDPR and other international data protection laws if required.
The most common challenges are:
• Cultural and communication differences:
we recruit English-proficient developers and offer cross-cultural training for smoother collaboration.
• Managing remote teams:
we use clear reporting structures, communication protocols, and project tracking tools to keep everything running smoothly. Next to that, the day to day operations are managed on site.
• Long-term commitment and retention:
Vietnam’s work culture promotes stability and company loyalty, especially when combined with benefits like health insurance and professional development programs. Our approach keeps retention rates high.
