Startup recruitment across Southeast Asia
Southeast Asia isn't one market — it's many. We help founders hire operators who understand that, whether you're making a first commercial hire or appointing a Country Lead to open a new market.
Proper Round works with founders and growth companies across Southeast Asia, including Thailand, Singapore, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines. We place commercial, marketing and growth, AI-enabled and fractional leadership talent, and we understand that what works in one SEA market rarely copies cleanly into the next.
For companies expanding regionally, the most important hire is often a Country Lead or regional commercial leader who already knows the local market, language and network. We help you find that person, and the bilingual operators who make cross-border teams work.
Why founders across SEA work with us
- Regional reach with local nuance across the major SEA markets.
- Country Lead and market-entry hiring for cross-border expansion.
- Bilingual and multilingual vetting, including structured English assessment.
- A business-first approach that starts with your goal, not a job spec.
