Executive search recruiter MRINetwork Worldwide has opened its first office in Vietnam.

The new office will specialise in the financial and construction industries, telecommunications, utilities, FMCG and manufacturing.

Kwan Koon Teh, managing partner of MRINetwork Worldwide, said: “The executive search market in Vietnam is currently in its ‘infancy’ and it is a challenging marketplace with the current state of the world economy.

“One of the key drivers for establishing our business in Vietnam is the wide network of MRINetwork, which allows us to create a synergistic partnership.

“With our network, we are in a strong position to place locals and expatriate candidates in Vietnam.”
