Our Specialised Semiconductor Recruitment Services

Evantis Talent Solutions takes a structured and consultative approach to semiconductor hiring , matching each placement to your process, node, package type and operating culture . Our services include:

Permanent and Contract Recruitment

Evantis recruits across the full technical stack, on permanent, fixed term and contract terms. Ramp phases and qualification periods create very different headcount needs from steady state operations, and we staff for both.

Executive Search and Leadership Hiring

Plant directors, engineering managers, quality heads and country leadership are rarely found on job boards. We run discreet, mapped searches across Thailand and the wider ASEAN region. For these appointments, explore our executive search service.

Talent Mapping and Workforce Planning

Before you commit to a site or a ramp schedule, we map availability, competitor headcount, salary benchmarks and realistic time to hire by role and location, so you can sequence hiring with confidence.

WHY EVANTIS

Why Choose Evantis for Semiconductor Recruitment in Thailand?

Why Choose Evantis for Semiconductor Recruitment in Thailand?
01

Local Market Knowledge That Is Actually Local

Evantis is a Thailand based agency with a Bangkok team. We know how hiring differs between the Eastern Seaboard industrial estates, Bangkok metro design and commercial roles, and the northern electronics cluster. We understand which employers people move between, and what a competitive offer looks like in each location.

02

Technical Screening, Not Keyword Matching

Semiconductor CVs look similar to a generalist recruiter. The difference between a wet etch and a plasma etch process engineer, or between a chip scale packaging specialist and a general assembly engineer, decides whether a shortlist is useful. We screen on the detail that matters, so your engineering managers spend interview time on the right people.

03

Access to Passive and Returning Talent

Most of the strongest semiconductor professionals in Thailand are employed and not applying. A large pool of Thai nationals is also working in fabs and design houses across Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Japan and the United States, and many are open to a well positioned move home. Headhunting these groups is core to how we work.

04

Straight Talk and Clear Timelines

We tell you what a search realistically takes, what the market rate is, and when a brief will not fill as written. If a role needs rescoping, you hear it early. No ghosting, no padded shortlists, and no upfront fees.

Semiconductor Recruitment Specialists in Thailand

Semiconductors are a long game. The companies that build capability in Thailand over the next decade will be the ones that treat talent as core infrastructure rather than a final stage recruitment exercise. That means planning headcount alongside capex, understanding what the local market can and cannot supply, and building relationships with people long before a requisition opens.

Evantis Talent Solutions works with semiconductor manufacturers, OSAT providers, design houses, equipment suppliers and materials companies across Thailand. Whether you are opening a first site, scaling an existing one or hiring a single hard to find specialist, we would like to hear what you are building.

Semiconductor Recruitment in Thailand: Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to what hiring managers ask us most often about hiring engineers into fabs, OSAT sites and electronics plants in Thailand.

How long does it take to get a shortlist?

Three to five working days on roles where the pool exists in country, which covers most process, test, SMT and quality engineering. Front end and IC design roles take longer, because the pool in Thailand is small and the search usually means approaching people at a handful of named employers. Evantis tells you which of the two your role is at the start, not three months in.

Which parts of Thailand do you cover?

The whole country. Most semiconductor and electronics hiring sits in the Eastern Economic Corridor around Chonburi and Rayong, in Ayutthaya and Pathum Thani, and in the northern industrial estates around Lamphun. The team is Bangkok based and goes to site.

Can you hire foreign engineers, and who handles the visa and work permit?

Yes. Evantis has been bringing foreign engineers into Thailand for years. On a permanent placement your company is the employer and holds the visa and work permit, with Evantis advising and coordinating the process. On an outsourced or contract placement Evantis is the employer and handles both directly.

Do you place contract and outsourced headcount as well as permanent staff?

Yes. Ramp phases, qualification periods and line transfers create headcount that does not fit a permanent plan. Evantis recruits on permanent, fixed term and contract terms, and can hold the headcount as the employer so it sits outside your own establishment.

What happens if the person we hire leaves?

Permanent placements carry a 90 day replacement guarantee. If the candidate leaves within 90 days, Evantis re-runs the search at no additional fee.

What does it cost, and when do we pay?

No retainer and no upfront cost on permanent recruitment. The fee falls due when the hire is made and starts. Contract and outsourced headcount is quoted as a monthly rate agreed before anyone begins.
