HR2B began life in 2003 in the lounge room of my house with one staff member. The idea was to bring human resources management practices to Vietnamese organisations. Back then our core business was mangement consulting, however, clients kept coming to us with the same need, to find them talented Vietnamese managers and professionals who would add value to their business.

2003 HR2B Begins Service

In July 2003 HR2B began Executive Search Service with a staff of two professionals and version 1.0 of our Executive Search and Selection Information System (ESSiS). Our focus was on General Director / Director level positions. Our first ‘multi-job' client was Avon (Vietnam) Ltd where we placed 5 out of 7 directors against stiff competition from Ernst and Young. By the end of the year we had picked up Metro Cash and Carry and AIG (AIA) Life insurance as multi-job clients.

During 2004 we continued to add international clients such as Coca Cola, DHL, Unilever and Prudential and began to serve large Vietnamese organisations such as FPT, Sovico, Thien Long Pen and Dong Tam ceramic company.
