A MESSAGE FROM OUR FOUNDER

Vietnam has one of the most talented and motivated developer communities in Southeast Asia. Our job at Talent JDI is to connect that talent with the global companies that need it & to make that connection as simple, fast, and compliant as possible.

Frank Lee

Founder & Managing Director, Talent JDI

Frank founded Talent JDI after seeing firsthand how difficult it was for Singapore and Australian companies to hire quality tech talent in Vietnam — not because the talent wasn't there, but because the hiring process was complex, slow, and full of compliance risk.

He built Talent JDI to remove that friction: a team that understands both the local market and the expectations of global employers, with the legal and HR infrastructure to make remote hiring seamless.

How We Works

Our Core Values

Three principles that guide every hire, every partnership, and every decision we make.

Partnership

Every engagement we build is a partnership of trust. Your challenges are our challenges. Your wins are our wins. We're with you through the hard parts and the good ones — and we're always honest about what's realistic.

Leadership

We don't wait to be told what to do. We lead with ideas, move fast, and help our clients stay ahead. That means keeping up with Vietnam's talent market, compliance changes, and what the best firms are doing differently.

Just Do It

We have a culture of action. If something can be done, we do it — we don't wait for the perfect plan. We learn from every hire, every campaign, and every client, and we apply that learning to do better next time.
