About our customer

ST Engineering is a multi-billion dollar conglomerate based in Singapore, operating across Aerospace, Smart City sectors, and Advanced engineering sectors.

When the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns paralyzed their China tech hub, this global leader faced an urgent need to restructure. With its competitive costs and favorable logistics, Vietnam quickly emerged as their ideal strategic choice.

What the challenge was

Despite being a well-known name in Singapore, ST Engineering encountered three major obstacles in Vietnam:

• Zero brand presence: Despite being a giant in Singapore, they had virtually no employer branding in Vietnam.

• Urgent deadlines: In just 3-6 months, they needed to scale a team of 50-100 operational staff.

• The main risk: Establishing a legal entity would take time, while recruiting without local knowledge risked total failure. 

They needed a partner who could handle everything from recruitment to legal compliance instantly.
