Have you ever tried this? Add up the number of offices of these five global and most recognized executive search firms: Egon Zehnder, Heidrick & Struggles, Korn Ferry, Russell Reynolds, and Spencer Stuart.
The number is a total of 335 offices at the time of publishing this blog. And yes, the 335 is all the five firms combined.
So, it’s hard to believe and almost unreal that NPAworldwide, alone, has an incredible number of 550 offices. Talk about being global, regional, and local all at the same time.
Excuse me, NPAworldwide – say again!

International recruitment firms in Thailand
You will be surprised – I think – to see this list of international recruitment networks that are present in Thailand.
There are hundreds of licensed recruitment firms in Thailand, local and international, according to the list available on the Department of Employment website (under Ministry of Labour).
Why the website of Department of Employment
The Employment and Job Seekers’ Protection Act is the law in Thailand that regulates the business of a recruitment company.
- Like the license from TAT (Tourism Authority of Thailand under Ministry of Tourism and Sports) to operate a travel agency in Thailand.
- Or similar to the approval by the FDA (Thai Food and Drug Administration under Ministry of Public Health) to importers of medicines.
- And to many other government bodies issuing licenses to companies operating in various industries or businesses.
