Permanent Recruitment Services for Employers — The Right Hire for Your Organisation and Team
Let a recruitment partner who understands your business take care of your open positions.
Workwise Consulting Recruitment is a recruitment company for employers in Thailand, holding recruitment license no. น.1988/2569 from the Department of Employment. We work as a partner who takes time to understand your business, company culture, and budget before presenting each candidate. We screen with care and stay involved until your new hire has settled in smoothly. Importantly, our service is success-based: fees apply only when a candidate we introduce actually starts work with you.
We are committed to truly understanding what each client needs — whether your organisation is large or small — so we can find the person who fits your organisation and your team best.
The challenges HR teams and business owners face most often
If any of these sound familiar, you are far from alone.
- Months of job postings, yet few applications match the brief — the position stays open, the workload piles onto the existing team, and people begin to burn out.
- Ten interviews, still no hire — valuable management and HR time spent on candidates who were not screened closely enough.
- The best people are not actively job-hunting — most high-quality candidates are passive: they never see your job post, and they only consider a move when someone reaches out to them personally.
- A new hire who leaves within months — the recruitment investment is spent, and the search starts all over again.
- The job ad and what the organisation really needs are two different pictures — job ads have to be written in general language, but what the team actually wants is someone who can solve its specific problems. That gap is why screening keeps surfacing candidates who are "almost right".
These are the challenges we help clients solve every day — and the reason professional recruitment support delivers more value than many expect.
What our recruitment service covers
Success-based — you pay only when you hire
Fees apply only when a candidate we introduce is hired and starts work. No upfront costs, no retainer — fees exist only once you have your hire and they have started work; before that, there is nothing to pay.
Every profile screened before it reaches you
Every candidate you receive has already been interviewed by our recruiters. We verify skills, experience, salary expectations, reasons for moving, and fit with your company culture — because your management team’s interview time is valuable, we send only candidates who are truly worth meeting.
A guarantee period on every placement
Every placement comes with a guarantee period — if the employee resigns or does not pass that period, we conduct a replacement search in line with the terms of the service agreement.
Access to passive candidates job posts cannot reach
We search proactively — our team maps the market and approaches high-quality candidates who are still employed, including professional, ethical headhunting from adjacent businesses.
Industries and functions we specialise in
We recruit for both Thai companies and multinationals, from specialist to management level, across the core functions of business:
- Sales, Marketing & Business Development — including salespeople with direct experience in your industry
- Accounting, Finance & Office Functions — accounting, finance, HR, admin, and dependable back-office teams
- IT & Technology — from individual roles to building IT teams across multiple business units
- Engineering, Manufacturing & Supply Chain — production, quality, procurement, and logistics, covering Bangkok, upcountry locations, and industrial estates
- F&B, FMCG & Retail — from head office to frontline operations
- Language-skilled positions — candidates who work in English, Chinese, Japanese, and other languages
- Management and hard-to-fill roles — long-open management positions or roles with a limited talent pool
If your role is not on this list, talk to us anyway — we assess every brief on its own merits.
Why employers choose Workwise
We believe our track record speaks for itself — real examples from our clients (names withheld under confidentiality agreements)
- An executive role vacant for 7 months — a listed company had interviewed more than 30 candidates without success. We studied the organisation’s context in depth and presented 3 candidates who matched on both skills and culture — the position was filled within months, within the client’s budget.
- A consultant role closed within 2 weeks — after we first helped the client sharpen the role brief before the search began. A long-open role closed faster than the client expected.
- An upcountry F&B plant needed a food-science graduate within commuting distance on a limited budget. We screened by realistic travel radius and educational background, and closed the role in a short time.
- An IT client that grew from one business unit to the whole organisation — we started with a single project; the results led to referrals across other business units and, eventually, permanent recruitment for their head office.
At the heart of our work is the WISE principle — Wise, Initiative, Strategic, Enthusiastic: we think with data, act before being asked, propose strategic solutions, and listen closely to what each client truly needs.

Frequently asked questions
How are recruitment fees calculated?
As a general principle, permanent recruitment fees in Thailand are calculated as a proportion of the annual income of the position filled, payable only when the candidate starts work. The rate depends on the seniority of the role, the difficulty of the search, and hiring volume. Talk to our team for a quotation based on your actual brief. Read more in our article: how recruitment agency fees work in Thailand (in Thai).
If we don't find a candidate we like, do we pay?
No. Our service is entirely success-based — fees apply only when you hire a candidate we introduced.
What happens if a new hire leaves early?
Every placement includes a guarantee period. If the employee does not pass that period, we conduct a replacement search in line with the terms of the service agreement.
How long until we see the first candidates?
It depends on the role. How easy or hard a position is to fill is something we can assess from the very first conversation, and we give you a realistic timeline before the search begins.
Do you recruit only in Bangkok, or nationwide?
Nationwide. We have experience recruiting for both Bangkok offices and upcountry plants. We have also taken on regional searches — for example in Hong Kong and Shanghai — through clients in Thailand who trusted our work and referred us to companies in their international networks. (We recruit directly for those companies; this is not an overseas labour placement service.)
What if we need contract staff, or help with payroll?
We offer Staffing & Outsourcing for contract employment, with Workwise acting as the employer of record, and Payroll Outsourcing for companies that have a team in place but prefer not to carry payroll administration in-house. See: Staffing & Outsourcing · Payroll Outsourcing
