Second Talent was founded after our previous company experienced firsthand how difficult it was to build a reliable engineering team across Asia. We weren't looking to offshore work, we were looking for great engineers. The problem was that the existing platforms weren't built for that. So we built our own. Today, Second Talent connects 200+ companies globally with engineering talent across nine Asian markets: Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, and Thailand. We've placed over 10,000 engineers into product teams in AI, SaaS, fintech, and e-commerce, companies that needed to move fast without compromising on quality or compliance. We handle sourcing, vetting, matching, and ongoing management so that engineers can focus on the work, and companies can focus on building.
