Hi-Tech FAQs
Frequently asked questions
A thriving startup ecosystem combined with growing enterprise digital investment means experienced engineers are frequently approached by multiple employers, and senior talent supply hasn't scaled at the same pace as demand.
Standard software development roles can often be filled within 4 to 6 weeks. Senior or specialised infrastructure roles may take longer given the smaller qualified candidate pool.
It's worth being explicit about this in the job description, since the working style and pace expectations at a fast-scaling startup differ significantly from an established enterprise, and mismatched expectations often lead to early attrition.
Yes. PERSOL Indonesia places both permanent technology professionals and contract staff for project-based development and infrastructure work.
A recruiter with an active technical network can identify strong passive candidates who aren't visible through a standard job posting, which matters in a market this competitive.
