JT1

Based in Ho Chi Minh City, JT1 recruits IT staff for employers in Vietnam and across Asia. The firm was set up in 2016 and also offers payroll and outsourcing services. Its consultants look for engineers, technical managers and designers, and it stays in touch with candidates after they begin work.

A screening process from first contact to interview

The recruitment process begins with sourcing. JT1's consultants search for candidates, check their experience and then arrange the stages that test their skills, which can include tests, coding challenges and interviews. Each candidate is assessed against the role before the employer meets them.

Quality assurance, DevOps and full-stack engineers

The roles it fills include QA engineers, DevOps specialists and developers who work across the full stack, as well as front-end developers for web products. Searches cover the technologies that employers ask for, from JavaScript front ends to server-side work in Java, PHP, .NET, Node.js, Python and Ruby.

Onboarding help for new hires

After a candidate is placed, JT1 helps the employer bring the new person into its team. The onboarding support is meant to make the first weeks run smoothly for both the employer and the hire, and the firm follows up with candidates it has matched to see how they are settling in.

Payroll with a focus on compliance

The payroll service runs each month, and JT1 presents it as a service in which compliance and confidentiality come first. Clients who want to hand over the payroll administration can use the firm for the monthly processing, leaving their own staff free for other work.

Outsourcing and staffing across the region

The firm also provides outsourcing, which lets an employer use JT1's team for parts of its staffing work. Its candidates have been placed across the region, from Vietnam to Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia and Malaysia, and it can recruit for onshore, offshore and remote projects.

Research on the technology hiring market

JT1 publishes research on the technology hiring market, which gives employers a view of the talent available to them as they plan their teams. The firm presents this research as part of its market insight for businesses that are growing their engineering teams.

Sectors and the firm's role for employers

The firm says its consultants bring in-depth knowledge of the sectors they recruit for, including eCommerce, financial services, logistics and government. It describes its role as a partner for businesses that want to grow their engineering teams in Vietnam and the wider region.
