    Bangkok based employment website / agencies

    Can anybody recommend a Bangkok based agency or website where I can advertise job vacancies. I have some websites we use for Khon Kaen but am interested in the wider audience to hopefully get a better quality of applicant. thanks in advance!

    good luck with that, with unemployment at record low, it's hard to recruit talented individuals these days, above all if you are a small company

    I recommend going to universities and posting jobs description on the boards there, would definitely be more successful

    ^ The last thing I need are kids out of university.

    Unemployment is at a record low due to companies being forced to hire whatever cannon fodder is out there.

    Actually I can't wait until 2015 and the ASEAN changes come into effect and I can source key staff from outside Thailand.

    ^ then you will need to hire them from existing companies, and pay a premium for it

    actually universities kids are not that bad, and they can be very motivated, always found great candidates from there

    take girls, not guys, for obvious reasons

    More than happy to pay over the odds for capable people.

    Motivated perhaps, but they lack any real world work experience and are really still children, really, I would like some staff who have worked overseas and know what real work is all about.

    sounds serious, is the employment situation the same all over Thailand or only in and around BKK?
    How is it in Vietnam compared to Thailand?

    What kind of people you want to hire? PM me if you like.
    Job sites are fine, but networking is better.

    For low/mid management types, you're better off using a contingency recruitment agency and let them do the initial work of sorting out a shortlist.
