TALENT OUTSOURCING EXPLAINED
What is AYP's Talent Outsourcing for APAC?
AYP Talent Sourcing is an employer of record recruitment service: a service built for AYP EOR clients that need to hire employees in Asia Pacific without using a separate agency.
Talent Sourcing is a structured hiring workflow for AYP EOR clients. When you share a role brief, AYP engages vetted recruitment partners operating in that market on your behalf, consolidates the candidates they submit, and hands you a shortlist to interview and select from. Once you choose a candidate, the hire moves directly into your existing AYP EOR engagement, same point of contact, no separate agency relationship to set up.
AYP doesn't run the search itself — local recruitment partners handle sourcing and initial screening in-market. AYP's role is coordinating the process end to end, so you're not managing a separate agency contract, invoice, or handoff on top of your EOR engagement.

WHY TALENT SOURCING
One Team Instead of 2 Vendors
Most companies expanding in APAC manage a recruitment agency and an EOR provider seperately. Here’s what changes when both run through the same AYP team.

What's the difference between AYP Talent Sourcing and hiring a recruitment agency directly?
With an agency, you'll need a separate contract, a separate invoice, and once they find your talent, you still need to figure out how to actually employ and connect them to your EOR payroll. Talent Sourcing with AYP skips that: the hire runs through your existing AYP EOR engagement, so it's one contact, one contract, and payroll starts as soon as you pick a candidate.
Do I need to already be an AYP EOR client to use Talent Sourcing?
Yes, this only works if you've got an active EOR engagement with AYP, since the new hire gets employed through that same setup. If you're not an EOR client yet, get in touch and we'll sort that out first.
What does AYP's payroll service include?
Salary processing, statutory contribution calculations and payments, payslip generation, and year-end tax filings with local authorities. The specifics vary by country — CPF in Singapore, EPF and SOCSO in Malaysia, SSF in Thailand, and equivalents across the other markets — but AYP's in-country teams handle the local rules. Leave management and expense reimbursement are also available.
What isn't included: employment contracts and HR decisions stay with your company. AYP processes payroll on your behalf; it's not the employer.
How long does it take to get a shortlist?
Usually 2 to 4 weeks from brief to shortlist, depending on the role and market. Pick someone, and they can be onboarded and paid within days of accepting the offer.
Does AYP do the recruiting itself, or work with outside recruiters?
The actual sourcing and screening happens through local partners in each market. AYP briefs them, combines their submissions into one shortlist for easy perusal. You're never managing an agency relationship directly.
How much does Talent Sourcing cost?
Nothing's fixed. It depends on the role, seniority, and market, and you'll get a scoped quote before any work kicks off.
