Thailand staffing big-firm market share (2024)
Top 5 ~52%
Adecco Thailand leads white-collar staffing and contracting with ~18% revenue share per parent disclosures, followed by ManpowerGroup at ~12%, Robert Walters Thailand at ~9% (skewed senior-professional and executive search), Hays Thailand at ~7%, and PERSOLKELLY at ~6%. The remaining 48% is split across Reeracoen, RGF (Recruit Global Family), Boyden, JAC Recruitment, Talent Resourcing, and roughly 600-800 DBD-registered domestic boutique agencies. Concentration is materially lower than in Singapore or Hong Kong because Thai labour law requires local-entity sponsorship plus Thai-language process, which favours mid-tier domestic players over global tier-1s for blue-collar and Thai-language back-office roles.
