Why hire in Indonesia through Asie Facile

Indonesia is the largest economy in Southeast Asia, with fast-growing automotive, agro-industrial and nickel sectors. Local managers with international experience are scarce and are mostly found through networks.

Setting up a PT PMA (foreign-owned company) takes time and capital. An Employer of Record lets you start hiring in Jakarta, Batam or industrial zones before you commit.

Where the talent is

Jakarta is the business and financial centre. Surabaya and Bandung are industrial and technology centres, Batam is a manufacturing and electronics hub, and nickel and mineral processing sites are located in Sulawesi and North Maluku.

Why use a local recruitment agency in Indonesia

Fluency in Bahasa Indonesia matters for most management roles, and personal networks are strong. Local recruiters in Jakarta know who the credible candidates are and approach them in their own language. They also understand local expectations on salary, allowances and the religious holiday allowance (THR).

What to expect when you recruit in Indonesia

A first shortlist takes 7-10 working days. Notice periods are often one month. For foreign hires, we check the RPTKA and KITAS requirements early, since they can take weeks.

How long does it take to get a shortlist?

A first shortlist takes 7-10 working days on average.

Automotive and mobility, agro-industry, mining and batteries, plus tech and sales roles.

What does an employee cost in Indonesia?

Do you provide executive search and headhunting in Indonesia?

Yes. Our independent recruiters in Indonesia headhunt senior and specialist profiles directly, instead of relying on job boards or CV databases. This covers country managers, sales leaders and functional heads.

What it costs to employ someone in Indonesia

Beyond gross salary, several items must be budgeted. They vary by city and by role. We detail them systematically before any mission starts.

BPJS contributions: Employer contributions to BPJS Ketenagakerjaan (employment) and BPJS Kesehatan (health).
THR religious holiday allowance: Mandatory. Usually one month's salary.
Severance: Set by Indonesian labour regulations, based on length of service.

Work authorisation for foreign hires

A foreign employee needs a work authorisation (RPTKA approval) and a residence permit (KITAS). Recruiters check these requirements early in the search.
