Client profile

An international online-travel platform serving travellers and accommodation partners worldwide while building local customer-service capability across Asian markets.

Business challenge

Technical complexity was not the central issue. The challenge was delivering scale, speed and consistent quality together: candidates needed service orientation, language capability, shift flexibility and the motivation to stay, while talent supply, employment models and mobilisation timelines varied by country. China also required a rapid, time-bound ramp-up.

What TAC delivered

TAC combined targeted search, permanent recruitment and outsourced delivery in one flexible model, building local market maps and recurring candidate pipelines across China, Japan, Thailand and Malaysia. We aligned profiles, assessed service mindset and language capability, and coordinated interviews, offers, onboarding and outsourced-team mobilisation so each market could move at the right pace.
