Indonesia Headhunting Services

Pacific Bridge, Inc. (PBI) has helped many international companies recruit well-qualified professionals for their Indonesian operations.  With a population of 230 million, the Indonesian workforce is large. Amid a sizeable pool of candidates, PBI’s Indonesia headhunters can help companies find the right talent.  

Indonesian companies identify potential job applicants through internal human resource departments, Internet advertisements, and newspaper announcements. Some Indonesian companies also turn to local headhunting agencies to hire professionals.

Indonesian professionals usually earn significantly less than their Western counterparts.  Indonesia does not have a national minimum wage. Minimum wages are set individually by each individual province, and can be as low as 675,000 rupiah (about $79) per month.  PBI’s Indonesia headhunters can advise international companies on appropriate and competitive salaries to recruit the right executives.

Indonesia has a defined-benefit pension system, but it is limited to civil servants (approximately 4% of the Indonesian labor force).  It also has a defined-contribution scheme, where both employees and employers contribute a percentage of the employee’s salary to his/her pension fund.  Employees receive their pension upon retirement.  However, the pension amount typically does not adequately support retirees throughout the duration of their retirement. Lower income workers place little, if any, funds towards their retirement. 

The Ministry of Manpower and Transmigration is responsible for Indonesia’s labor and welfare affairs.  The 2009 Healthcare Law and 2004 National Social Security System Law are the most important healthcare legislations in Indonesia. Under these laws, the government is required to plan and implement a healthcare program for all its citizens.  Another significant law is the Manpower Act of 2003, which covers Indonesia’s requirements for minimum wage, overtime and standard work hours. PBI’s experienced Indonesia headhunters can help international companies navigate through these HR and labor regulations.

PBI’s Indonesia headhunters are professional, goal-oriented and possess the HR expertise to help international clients recruit successfully.
