Best-fit assessment
Best for companies that need recruitment and payroll employment from one staffing provider, at volume.
Adecco brings scale and a long Vietnam record, but its page is written for temporary staffing, does not name the employing entity, and describes no client platform. At 15–25% of employment cost, it is among the most expensive routes here for a single hire.

What Adecco publishes for Vietnam
Adecco Vietnam’s payroll staffing and EOR page states 14+ years in Vietnam, branches in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, and a group active in 62 countries. Its listed scope covers candidate sourcing (or payroll management only, for candidates the client refers), onboarding and labour contract management, monthly payroll with social insurance and tax, HR enquiries, and offboarding support when the contract ends. Adecco says it takes “full responsibility for payroll processing, statutory contributions, tax compliance, and employment administration”, while employees “work fully under the client’s supervision, guidance, and performance management”.
The page offers a single point of contact, in-house legal guidance on labour law, and digital onboarding in which candidates sign and upload documents online. It does not name the entity that employs the staff.
Pricing signal
Expect an EOR fee of 15–25% of monthly employment cost. Adecco publishes no EOR rate; the only pricing statement on its page concerns recruitment, which is contingent: “no fee unless we successfully place a candidate”. Ask for the payroll-only fee separately from any placement fee.
Fit and trade-offs
Reasons to shortlist
- Long Vietnam record and offices in both main cities.
- Recruitment and payroll employment from one provider.
- Payroll-only option for candidates you have already found.
- Scales from one employee to large temporary teams.
Trade-offs to test
- A 15–25% fee costs more than flat or capped fees at most Vietnam salaries.
- The employing entity is not named on the page.
- The page is written for temporary staffing, not long-term EOR.
- No client or employee platform described.
Questions to ask Adecco
- Which Adecco entity will sign the labour contract, and is it the legal employer?
- Where in the 15–25% range does the payroll-only fee land, apart from any placement fee?
- Is the arrangement EOR or labour outsourcing under Vietnam’s labour-leasing rules?
- Who is the named contact for payroll and employee questions?
- Which reports and payslips are delivered each month, and in what format?
- What applies if we later move the employee to our own entity?
