The city IT recruiters Cathcart Associates have just celebrated having an office in Bangkok for a year.
They are only one of very few dedicated IT recruiters in Thailand and it all started here in Edinburgh.
They have now doubled the number of consultants in the Thai city where there is a thriving tech community.
Gordon Kaye, managing director at Cathcart Associates, said: “We are delighted with the progress our Thai office has made in just one year. We have always wanted to take our services international and with its diverse tech scene, Bangkok seemed like the best place for us to successfully do this.
“The leap to open an office in South East Asia required a lot of hard work, dedication and commitment and much time has been spent researching the market in Bangkok, on top of establishing links with companies and potential candidates.
“We are determined to ensure that we offer the same quality recruitment services in Thailand that we do in the UK and we are confident that with a strong team in place, we can do this.”
Cathcart Associates managing consultant, Nick Macdougall, is heading up the Thai office. He said: “The past 12 months have been an immense learning curve for the company and for the team we have hired here in Bangkok.
“We have spent time nurturing and growing our team here, while also building relationships with clients and candidates in a bid to establish ourselves as a trustworthy and reliable IT recruiter in Thailand.
“Bangkok is home to a number of recruitment firms but very few specialise solely in technology, so we believe we have a unique service to offer firms based here. With a diverse mix of organisations in the country, no company is too big or too small to assist and we take a lot of satisfaction in building and maintaining high quality IT teams.”
Going forward, Cathcart Associates aims to continue to build relationships with skilled candidates and tech businesses in Bangkok, and will look to expand its Thai team further, aiming to double again in size over the next year.
