What we hire for
Bilingual talent for Thailand & Southeast Asia
Building across local and international markets takes people who work credibly in more than one language. We place operators fluent in Thai and English — and other SEA languages — and we vet language ability properly.
Bilingual recruitment at Proper Round means finding business talent who can sell, lead and build across languages without losing nuance. For roles that need strong English, we don't take fluency on trust — we assess written and spoken proficiency with structured, tool-based evaluation, so the shortlist you see is the shortlist that can actually do the job.
Roles we hire
Local nuance plus international reach
Selling and leading in Southeast Asia rewards people who can switch fluently between local relationships and international standards. A great bilingual operator builds trust with a local customer in the morning and reports to an international board in the afternoon.
We map the language requirement to the role honestly. Some positions need native-level Thai with strong working English; others need polished written English for international stakeholders. We define which, then assess for it.
How we vet for English
- We calibrate the English bar to the actual role — written, spoken, or both.
- We use structured, tool-based assessment rather than a gut feel from one call.
- We assess Thai and other SEA languages where the role requires them.
- You see a clear read on each candidate's language fit in the shortlist notes.
