About 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.

How we review Second Talent

EOR Overview does not run paid placements. Every review is built from verified data, and the same method applies to every provider we cover.

Data collection

Official company documentation and regulatory filings, direct verification with company representatives, trusted third-party databases (Crunchbase, LinkedIn), and public financial reports and press releases.

Verification

Three steps for every data point: collection from primary sources, cross-verification against multiple independent sources, and regular audits to keep pricing and coverage current.

Ratings

The scores shown are averages of verified third-party platform ratings (G2, Trustpilot, Capterra), always attributed. We do not publish our own star rating.

Independence

Referral-funded: we may earn a fee if you sign up through our links, at no cost to you. It never affects rankings, verdicts, or the data on this page.
