Starting Strong: Leo’s First Milestone at Reeracoen Vietnam

Starting from zero in headhunting requires resilience, adaptability, and the courage to learn fast. For Leo, those qualities defined his first months at Reeracoen Vietnam, enabling him to achieve his first placement early and successfully complete probation with a strong foundation for growth.

Discover how Leo turned challenges into early results and built momentum for his recruitment career.

💼 Building from Zero

Leo joined Reeracoen Vietnam as a Career Advisor, stepping into headhunting for the first time. He currently focuses on Back Office and Sales positions for both English- and Japanese-speaking markets, with plans to gradually expand into Technical, IT, and Manager-level roles as he gains more experience.

Starting from zero was not easy — especially when building a candidate pool from scratch. However, Leo actively learned from his leader and colleagues, quickly applying core recruitment knowledge into practice.

🚀 A Proud First Achievement

One of Leo’s proudest milestones came early — securing his first placement in his very first month.

“It proved that even with limited experience, I could learn quickly and deliver real results,” he shares.

Having experienced a long job search before joining Reeracoen, Leo deeply values this opportunity and was determined not to let it slip away. From day one, he worked with the mindset of becoming an official employee.

🌟 Inspired by Meaningful Impact

What motivates Leo most in his role is the meaningful impact of helping people find suitable job opportunities.

“This job allows me to connect with professionals from different industries and support their career growth and life development.”

📚 Lessons from the Journey

One key lesson Leo has learned is that recruitment requires more than just skills.

“It requires the right mindset — persistence, patience, and continuous learning are essential, especially when you start from zero.”

These principles continue to guide his daily work and long-term growth.

🎯 Goals for 2026

Looking ahead, Leo aims to:

• Achieve 100% of his annual sales target
• Increase his income and professional value
• Move from Junior to Senior level
• Expand into more specialized and higher-level positions

🍰 Beyond the Office

Outside of work, Leo enjoys baking desserts — a hobby inspired by his love for sweets.

“Sweet flavors help lift my mood when I’m stressed,” he shares. Baking allows him to relax, be creative, and share homemade treats with others. Who knows? It might even become a small side hustle someday.

Leo’s journey shows that with determination, resilience, and a commitment to continuous learning, even newcomers can build strong foundations and deliver meaningful results in Vietnam’s recruitment market.
