The posting

People & Talent Lead

Onsite · Ho Chi Minh City · Reports to the CEO

We're hiring this role for our client, who is a leading sports participation platform in Southeast Asia. Their 1M users are all over the world, and strongest in Southeast Asia.

Our client is a team of 24, mostly based in Vietnam, with people in the Philippines too. Over the next 12–18 months, they plan to roughly double the team and bring in several senior leaders.

The role

You'll run People at our client's company day to day: recruiting, HR operations, onboarding and performance. Your goal is to build the team we need for our next stage and take the day-to-day people and hiring work off the CEO. You'll report directly to the CEO and work onsite at our Ho Chi Minh City office. This is a hands-on role. You'll work closely with the CEO and team leads, and you'll also source candidates, run interviews, close offers, run payroll and compliance, and handle employee issues yourself. There's no playbook yet, so you'll build simple systems from scratch.

Responsibilities

Leadership hiring

  • Support the CEO on 3–5 senior leadership hires as we strengthen our leadership team
  • Run the process for each search: coordinate search firms, source candidates, schedule interviews and manage offers

Recruiting across the company

  • Take the company size from 24 to around 50 people while keeping the hiring bar high
  • Build pipelines through direct sourcing, referrals, networks and recruiters
  • Create scorecards and structured interviews that every manager uses
  • Support hiring outside Vietnam as the team grows in our largest markets

HR operations and compliance

  • Own HR administration for our Vietnam company: employment contracts, payroll inputs, social insurance

and labour-law compliance

  • Work with our employer-of-record and payroll partners when we hire outside Vietnam
  • Keep employee records, policies and HR tools simple and up to date

Performance, pay and progression

  • Build onboarding and a simple, regular performance review process
  • Help the CEO and Finance Director set pay bands and keep pay fair across teams
  • Handle employee relations, including sensitive and difficult cases

Managers and culture

  • Support managers on hiring, feedback and performance conversations
  • Flag people issues and trends to the CEO early
  • Run engagement check-ins and exit interviews so we spot problems early

What success looks like in 12 months

  • Senior leadership searches run on a clear process, with at least 2 roles filled
  • The company is at or near 50 people, and most new hires are still with us and performing after 90 days
  • Every hire goes through a scorecard and structured interview process
  • The CEO no longer handles routine hiring or HR admin, and focuses on senior hires and key decisions
  • Payroll, contracts and social insurance run on time with no compliance issues
  • Every employee has a regular performance review and understands how pay and promotions are decided
  • People issues are resolved quickly, fairly and with good judgment

Qualifications

  • 5+ years in HR or Talent roles, including hands-on generalist HR work, ideally at a fast-growing startup or

tech company

  • Strong recruiting experience, including some senior or manager-level hires
  • Hands-on knowledge of Vietnam labour law, payroll and social insurance
  • Comfortable working with recruiters, search firms and outside HR partners
  • The ability to work independently without a large HR team or an existing playbook
  • Strong judgment on performance, pay and sensitive situations
  • A practical, low-bureaucracy approach: processes that help people rather than slow them down
  • High ownership and a willingness to do the work yourself
  • Native-level Vietnamese and fluent English, spoken and written, so you can work with our Vietnam team

and regional candidates alike

Preferences

  • Helped scale a company from roughly 20–30 people to 50–100+
  • Built recruiting or People systems from scratch
  • Supported executive searches alongside a search firm
  • Hired people outside Vietnam, directly or through an employer-of-record service
  • Worked closely with founders
  • Experience in consumer tech, marketplaces or sports

Benefits

  • Competitive salary, plus 13th-month salary
  • Report directly to the CEO, with real influence on how we grow
  • The chance to shape the team behind Southeast Asia's leading sports platform
  • Paid health insurance
  • Transportation allowance
  • Lunch provided
  • Monthly team sports day

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
