Reviewed by Robbin SchuchmannAbout Second Talent
Second Talent is an employer of record, staffing and recruitment provider focused on Asia. Its site lists EOR services in nine markets: Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China. Alongside EOR it offers IT staffing, secondment and data annotation outsourcing, so the model suits buyers who want sourcing and employment from the same vendor rather than employment infrastructure alone. The company lists offices in San Francisco, Singapore and Hong Kong. It does not publish EOR pricing.
What are the pros and cons of Second Talent?
Every EOR provider has strengths and limitations. Here's an honest assessment of where Second Talent excels and where you might face challenges, helping you make a well-informed decision.
Pros
- Own entities in nine Asian markets, so employment in the region is not routed through a third-party partner.
- Recruitment, staffing and EOR from one vendor, useful if you need to find the hire as well as employ them.
- Strong review profile for the segment, rated 4.9 on G2 from 153 reviews.
Cons
- No published pricing, so every comparison needs a quote.
- Coverage is Asia only. Hiring outside those nine markets is not something the site documents.
Second Talent pricing: How much does it cost?
