Talent Market Comparison
Where Should You Build Your Next Team?
Compare talent availability, salary levels, English proficiency, taxation and hiring conditions across key Asian markets.
Choosing where to hire is not only about salary. The right market depends on the skills you need, talent availability, communication requirements, employment costs, taxation, immigration considerations and the type of team you plan to build. ATA helps companies compare the practical differences between our key Asian markets before they decide where to recruit.
Different Markets. Different Strengths.
There Is No Single "Best" Country for Recruitment
A market that works well for a finance team may not be the best choice for software development, customer support, manufacturing, sales or regional management. ATA's regional presence allows us to help clients compare markets based on the profile of the employees they need, rather than looking only at headline salary levels.
