CTO Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 http://www.zdnetasia.com/techjobs/it_employment_trends_08/0,3800013453,62041748,00.htm As technology vendors including new industry players, try to gain market share in Thailand, this boost spells great news for infocomm technology (ICT) professionals in the kingdom. Peter Fischbach, president of Bangkok-based ISM Technology Recruitment, said it presents good opportunities for those who have a proven track record of successfully selling, and/or implementing technology products and services. The IT, Web and telecom sector is a competitive one in much of the world, and Thailand is no exception. In fact, 63.1 percent of Thai respondents in the ZDNet Asia IT Salary Benchmark Survey 2008 were from this sector. Fischbach noted that demand for qualified permanent and contract IT professionals in other industries, especially financial services, remains strong as well. According to the ZDNet Asia survey, which polled 971 complete responses from Thailand, those working in Thailand's legal and finance sector had the highest average annual salary at 801,346 baht (US$24,922). The average annual IT salary in Thailand stood at 746,096 baht (US$23,204). While 93.2 percent of respondents from the country were working full-time, Fischbach noted that contract rates in Thailand are usually 25 percent to 30 percent higher than the applicable salary range for permanent staff in the same position. He added that the rates are also significantly affected by variables such as the length of a contract. "The company hiring their services is willing to pay more because it gets the best specialist resources, but need not commit to a long-term employment relationship," Fischbach explained, in an e-mail interview with ZDNet Asia. "That flexibility has a real financial value to the company, and some part of that value translates into the rates paid to the contractor being higher than salaries paid to permanent staff," he said. Overall, Fischbach noted the rate of salary increases in Thailand has slowed, and in some cases "is merely holding steady". For candidates who have sought-after skills, and especially if they also have good English, "demand remains healthy and the salaries good", he added. Over the next quarter, Fischbach expects IT salaries in Thailand to remain mostly unchanged, or increasing only slightly for certain high-demand skills. "The outlook for the rest of the year is more difficult to assess," he noted. "If the government follows through on its promises to be supportive of foreign investment, then IT salaries should see an upturn as demand for the leading-edge skills which global companies require outpaces the local supply." IT Salary Benchmark Survey 2008 ZDNet Asia conducted an online survey between late-2007 and early-2008 to gain insights into Asia's IT workforce and salary trends. It drew 21,635 respondents from sectors such as government, healthcare, IT, services, telecommunications, legal and finance, and across seven Asian economies: Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, Singapore and Thailand. Some 971 respondents were polled from Thailand, 78.8 percent of whom held jobs in the IT, Web and telecom sectors. Note: In the following charts, THB denotes the Thai baht.

SiLeakHunt Posted August 20, 2009 Report Share Posted August 20, 2009 Manarco The Wright Company Manpower there are a few, ots not as mature a market as the UK or Aus, but they do exist. Just do a search you'll find a few. A lot of the agencies are more multifaceted rather than pure IT, but they do exist. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
