Nhan Kiet is a Vietnam-only EOR that has operated in the country since 2009 and publishes simple pricing from $99 USD per month, with no onboarding, offboarding, setup or currency-exchange fees. It suits foreign companies that want to hire local staff in Vietnam without setting up an entity, and it publishes service-level commitments, including request turnaround within 48 hours and personal data breach notice within 72 hours. The main trade-offs are its Vietnam-only coverage and an EOR limited to Vietnamese nationals; foreign hires are supported through its PEO service for companies with a Vietnamese entity.

About Nhan Kiet
Nhan Kiet (legal name Nhan Kiet Supplying Manpower Co., Ltd, tax code 0308022768) is a Vietnamese workforce services company established in 2009 and headquartered in Ho Chi Minh City. It covers Vietnam only, with offices in Ho Chi Minh City, Binh Duong, Dong Nai, Binh Phuoc, Ha Nam, Bac Ninh, Da Nang, Quang Ngai, Hai Phong and Hanoi, and states coverage of 34 provinces and cities, more than 40,000 workers under management and over 500 clients and partners.
For foreign companies its relevant service is EOR Vietnam. Nhan Kiet signs the employment contract, pays social, health and occupational accident insurance, files personal income tax and runs monthly payroll on a single invoice, while the client decides who to hire, what to pay and what work to assign. No Vietnamese entity is required. It states 5 to 7 days from signed candidate to start date and no entity set-up cost, and notes that engineering roles can run under a service contract with no 12-month limit. It positions the service at remote engineering teams, companies testing the Vietnamese market with one to five hires, fixed-term project teams, and companies bridging the wait for an investment licence.
Pricing is published rather than quote-only: 8% of gross salary per employee per month, floored at VND 2,600,000 (about USD 99) and capped at VND 5,200,000 (about USD 199), so the effective per-employee cost falls as salary rises above the cap threshold.
Alongside EOR it runs three domestic services: payroll outsourcing (raw timekeeping data reconciled to zero variance against an open-formula Excel workbook, with a client approval portal and a worker payslip app), labour compliance (moving a client's existing staff onto Nhan Kiet contracts so it carries the employer's legal responsibility, aimed at part-time-heavy sectors), and large-scale manpower supply for factories and warehouses. It holds a Vietnamese labour sub-leasing licence (No. 15/2019/SHCM) and an employment services licence (No. 22139/2023/45/SLDTBXH-VLATLD), and states ISO 9001:2015, ISO 45001 and ISO 14001 certification.
