When recruiting for European companies in Asia, understanding cultural differences is essential. European workplaces often emphasize flat hierarchies, direct communication, and #worklife balance—traits that can contrast with the more hierarchical and context-driven practices common in many Asian cultures. That said, these are broad trends, and Europe’s diversity means cultural nuances vary greatly between countries, adding complexity to these comparisons. Below, we've highlighted some key differences to consider. What challenges or insights have you encountered when navigating these cultural dynamics?

💡 Skills Get the Job Done, but Emotional Intelligence Builds Teams. In #recruitment, #emotionalintelligence (EQ) is the bridge between individual capability and team success. As highlighted in the concept of #peoplescience, understanding personality traits and behaviors alongside skills allows us to uncover how candidates communicate, collaborate, and adapt. By leveraging these insights, we create stronger, more cohesive teams—because the right fit is about more than just qualifications.

As The Netherlands continues to be Vietnam's most significant economic partner in the EU, the opportunities for collaboration and growth are boundless. With Vietnam's GDP growth reaching 7.09% in 2024 (Source: Reuters) alongside expanding trade agreements and a focus on #sustainability and #digitaltransformation, there's definitely plenty of potential for even stronger partnerships ahead. We are also proud to have contributed to this dynamic relationship by supporting European clients in Vietnam through several #leadership and senior management placements. This year also marks a milestone for the Dutch Business Association Vietnam DBAV 🇳🇱 (DBAV)—25 years of fostering impactful relationships and economic growth. We celebrate this achievement with them and look forward to contributing to even stronger ties between The Netherlands and Vietnam in 2025! #Businessgrowth #TalentAcquisition

Ghosting isn’t just frustrating for candidates—it can have serious consequences for your organization. From damaging trust and credibility to increasing #recruitment costs, poor communication during the #hiring process can harm your employer brand and deter top talent. A strong hiring process is built on respect, transparency, and timely communication. After all, every interaction with a candidate is a reflection of your company’s values! ##TalentAcquisition #TalentManagement #HR

Blame culture might not always be obvious, but its impact runs deep. It stifles #innovation, lowers morale, and creates fragmented teams, making it harder for organizations to thrive. When employees are focused on deflecting blame rather than solving problems, everyone loses. So how do we break the cycle? By fostering accountability, collaboration, and open communication. Together, we can create workplaces where mistakes are opportunities for growth, not finger-pointing. What’s your take on tackling blame culture? #WorkplaceCulture #Teamwork #EmployeeEngagement #ProfessionalDevelopment
