What stood out was how quickly they grasped what we actually needed beyond the job description. They asked about our team culture, growth stage, and what success looked like for the role, which made the candidates they sent through genuinely relevant. Saved us a lot of time we would have spent screening irrelevant profiles.

I really appreciate how Second Talent helped us fill three compliance-sensitive engineering roles across two SEA markets simultaneously, all within 9 weeks. The EOR was handled cleanly, and all three hires are actively contributing to our new product line, which has expedited the process and fast-tracked the timeline, ensuring the specs are implemented flawlessly and saving us a lot of headaches. Their compliance awareness, regulated development environments, and audit-conscious practices stood out as they screened for all of this naturally without our input. The shared candidate tracker they offer gave our stakeholders real-time visibility without requiring constant check-ins. The entire engagement was clean and well-managed, making it genuinely hard to find something to nitpick.

The quality of candidates relative to the brief. They didn't just collect our job spec and start sending CVs — they asked about our team structure and how we work day to day. The shortlist reflected that, and the hire was contributing within two weeks of starting.
