Ultimate Guide to Job and Talent Platforms in Thailand (Covid-19 3rd Wave April 2021 Edition)
Recently, a lot of people have been asking me about the best channels to either find talent or jobs in Thailand during Covid-19. I like to give you my take of all the best platforms to find either jobs or talent, based on my experiences using them at my companies. (Full disclosure: I don’t have any skin in the game for any of these platforms and I’m not paid to post this. All comments are personal opinions.)
New Platforms that are strong on Tech, Marketing and Business Talents
These are new age tech platforms to recruit talent looking for startup, tech and innovative jobs.

Another OG platform in the Thai and Southeast Asian startup ecosystem. Full disclosure: TribeHired acquired HUBBA Hired team in 2016!
Full disclosure: This is another HUBBA Alumni that started their journey in our space! Really proud to have supported them since the connection between the cofounders, all the way to hosting the first Thai Startup Job Fair!
Traditional Platform for General Roles
These platforms are the traditional job listing sites that usually where you can find Thai and sometimes decent English speaking staff in general administrative, operational and accounting roles. Personally these platforms are good for a spray and pray approach if you are looking for non-specialized talent but do be prepared to filter through a lot of candidates, no shows and hits-and-misses.
On-Demand Staffing for Blue Collar or Gig work
Freelance for mostly creative
Programmers
And these two famous Facebook groups:
Development Sector
