HR support for startups in Vietnam

Build your team. Give HR a clear starting point.

Your first employees bring more than new skills. They bring employment documents, payroll deadlines and everyday questions. Truzand helps founders organise the work, with experienced support and a scope that fits the team you are building.

Who this is for

Does this sound like your team?

  • Founders preparing their first Vietnam hires
  • Startups building a local team without an entity
  • Small teams sharing HR and finance responsibilities

HR in practice

Make room for building the business.

When HR tasks arrive one at a time, it is easy for every question to land with a founder. An agreed routine gives those tasks an owner and a next step.

The everyday friction

When HR is reactive

  • An offer is agreed, but nobody has mapped the employment documents or onboarding steps.
  • Salary changes and employee details are collected just before the payment date.
  • Payslip and administration questions interrupt the founder's working day.
  • The team starts from scratch each time someone joins.
A more organised way

With Truzand alongside

  • An employment checklist, document preparation and agreed onboarding responsibilities.
  • A payroll input checklist, a cut-off date and a report for your review.
  • An agreed support contact for payroll and HR administration queries.
  • Reusable onboarding records and a document tracker to support the next addition.

Illustrative ways of organising the work. Deliverables and responsibilities depend on your circumstances and the agreed engagement.

Expertise alongside your team

A small team, with experienced HR support.

You do not need to design every process yourself. Start with the work you need now and agree how the scope will change as your team grows.

An understandable starting scope

Confirm the work, fees, required inputs and responsibilities before the engagement begins.

People you can work with directly

Experienced professionals prepare the agreed outputs and explain what needs your attention.

Foundations you can reuse

Checklists, payroll records and employment templates give your team a practical reference for future hires.

How we work together

From your current setup to an agreed routine.

  1. Share your team plan

    Tell us about your entity status, intended hires, roles and preferred start dates.

  2. Agree the operating model

    Confirm the relevant service, deliverables, fees and your team's responsibilities.

  3. Prepare for onboarding

    Collect the required information, prepare agreed documents and set payroll dates.

  4. Review as the team grows

    Check new requirements and agree scope changes before adding work.

Frequently asked questions

Questions before we start.

Can we discuss support before our first employee joins?

Yes. Share your intended roles, entity status and hiring timeline. We can review the administration you may need and propose a scope. The start date depends on the operating model and required information.

Do we need our own company in Vietnam?

EOR (Employer of Record) is intended for businesses hiring without their own Vietnam entity. If you already have an entity, Outsourced Payroll Services may be more suitable. Your business remains responsible for employees' daily work and business decisions.

Does Truzand find candidates for us?

This engagement covers agreed employment, payroll and HR administration. Your business selects its candidates and makes hiring decisions; recruitment is not one of Truzand's core services.

Can the scope grow with us?

Yes. New hires, payroll complexity or additional HR work can be reviewed as your needs change. Any changes to deliverables, timing and fees are agreed before the additional work starts.
