CREATING CAREERS NOW A BRAND OF “SANET MANPOWER (THAILAND) CO., LTD”: RECRUITMENT IN THAILAND
With the name Sanet Manpower (Thailand) Co., Ltd., Sanet, the international Consultancy Group in Bangkok now has integrated the recruitment brand CREATING CAREERS into its portfolio and offers a job placement service for jobseekers in addition to recruitment.
Investments and market success are largely dependent on a company’s employees. The same, of course, applies to the consultants themselves. As a licensed recruitment consultancy in Thailand, the Sanet Group is known for its corporate management and legal advice, but also for the quality of its team and its selection of employees, for example for the business units of its sales company Sanet Trade & Services.
These competencies are now reflected in the entity “Sanet Manpower (Thailand) Co., Ltd.” as of April 1, 2024.
The experienced professionals that Sanet deploys for recruitment in Thailand are organized into specialized teams for “Leadership” in management, HR, accounting and controlling and for “Technology”, i.e. engineers, procurement and production. A further “Operations” team is responsible for IT, operations, and logistics.
In the future, recruitment and headhunting in Thailand will become even more of a focus of attention for its mostly international clients. Particularly for investors, the selection of the right Managing Director or GM is often a crucial factor.
Cross-cultural recruitment in Thailand means, for example, filling a MarCom position in such a way that the new team member understands both the company’s international marketing and its implementation or adaptation to the local culture.
An important success criterion for Sanet’s Personnel Consultants is the screening process. It begins with an intensive consultation with the client about the tasks and skills expected from the candidate. This process is supported by carefully prepared job characteristics, which Sanet finally draws up together with the client.
The overall selection process takes place in three stages. All candidates are scanned for defined cut-off criteria, such as frequent “job hoppers“, missing language skills or insufficient level of education.
This is followed by an initial interview in which all requirements criteria that do not necessitate an in-depth assessment are collected and evaluated in a color system. The resulting short-listed candidates are then invited to a cross-cultural interview.
“Just around 5-10% of the sometimes 200 candidates make it that far. They are all already considered good candidates,” explains Supaknut Putsarapun, who manages the processes of all the specialist teams. She then presents the best candidates to Sanet Management for an intercultural interview.
The client ultimately receives a comprehensive report and an executive summary. He is then often faced with the problem of choosing the best candidate out of 4-5 top candidates.
“Then, CREATING CAREERS takes on the task of rejecting the ‘second winners’ in an empathetic style. That’s why we often see that even the unsuccessful candidates apply to us again and recommend an application to us to their friends,” emphasizes Ms. Supaknut.
