HIRE GLOBAL
Hire Global is a licensed LPTKS recruitment agency based in North Jakarta. We recruit and place production operators, technicians, supervisors, HR staff and Mandarin-speaking professionals for factories in Indonesia, with a special focus on Chinese and other foreign-invested plants. Employers pay a recruitment fee; candidates never pay anything.
For employers: hire workers for your factory in Indonesia
If you are building or expanding a plant in Indonesia and need a reliable local workforce, Hire Global recruits, screens and places candidates who are employed directly by your company. We handle sourcing, interviews, document checks and onboarding coordination, and we communicate with your management in Mandarin, English or Indonesian. You get a compliant hiring pipeline without running your own recruiting team.

Job seekers pay nothing to Hire Global at any stage. Indonesian regulation (Permenaker 18/2024, Article 11) prohibits licensed placement agencies from charging placement fees to candidates, and we follow that rule strictly. Send your CV through the form on this page, tell us your city and the position you want, and our team will match you with client vacancies in industrial areas across Java and beyond.
- No registration fee, no salary deductions, no "administration" charges.
- Employment contract signed directly with the factory, not with an intermediary.
- Priority for candidates who live near the plant (ring-one villages and districts).
- Free pre-employment orientation before your first day.
Why foreign and domestic manufacturers choose Hire Global
Manufacturers work with us because we combine four things that are rarely found in one agency in Indonesia: a Mandarin-speaking team, a valid placement licence, compliance oversight by a practising lawyer, and a training arm that prepares candidates before they start. This reduces hiring risk for a foreign investor and shortens the time from ground-breaking to full production.
| What you get | Why it matters for a factory in Indonesia |
|---|---|
| Indonesian–Mandarin bilingual team | Director Hu Tingshan is a native Mandarin speaker. Briefings, interviews and reporting can run in Chinese, so nothing is lost between headquarters and the local plant. |
| Licensed LPTKS agency | PT Cari Kerja Indonesia operates as a licensed private placement agency (KBLI 78101) under PP 28/2025 and Permenaker 14/2025, and reports placements through the Ministry of Manpower's SIAPkerja system. |
| Lawyer-led compliance | President Director Gusti Muhammad Farhan, S.H., M.H. reviews contracts, PKWT/PKWTT structures and the 2026 outsourcing rules so your hiring model is defensible. |
| Free for candidates | Zero fees to job seekers, which protects your factory from the reputational and legal exposure created by informal brokers. |
| Pre-employment training | Candidates arrive with basic safety, discipline and workplace-culture orientation, lowering early turnover. |

How the recruitment process works
A typical engagement starts with a WhatsApp or email brief and ends with candidates signing contracts directly with your company. For volume factory hiring the cycle usually runs in waves aligned with your production ramp-up; for management roles we work on a search basis with a shortlist and interview schedule. Every step is documented for your HR and audit files.
- Brief: headcount, roles, location, shift pattern, start date and language requirements.
- Proposal: sourcing plan, timeline and fee structure sent for approval.
- Sourcing: local database, community networks near the plant, vocational schools and targeted advertising.
- Screening: document verification, interviews, basic skills and health checks as required.
- Client interview or selection test, on site or online.
- Pre-employment orientation and contract signing with your company (PKWT or PKWTT).
- Placement report and replacement support during the agreed guarantee period.
Recruitment, not outsourcing: what changed in 2026
Since Permenaker 7/2026 (issued 30 April 2026), labour outsourcing in Indonesia is limited to six categories of support work such as cleaning, catering, security, driver and transport services, operational support, and support functions in mining, oil and gas and electricity. Production operators can no longer be supplied as outsourced workers, with a transition period of up to two years for existing contracts.
Hire Global was designed for this environment. We are a recruitment and placement agency: the factory employs the worker directly and pays us a recruitment fee. We do not act as an employer-of-record for production staff. Our President Director, a licensed lawyer, reviews each engagement so your workforce model stays within the rules. See the factory workers recruitment page for details, or read about our team on the About page.
Frequently asked questions
Is Hire Global a licensed recruitment agency in Indonesia?
Yes. Hire Global is the brand of PT Cari Kerja Indonesia, a licensed LPTKS private placement agency operating under KBLI 78101. Domestic placement agencies in Indonesia must hold a business identification number and a verified standard certificate under PP 28/2025 and Permenaker 14/2025, and must report placements through the Ministry of Manpower's SIAPkerja system. We meet these requirements.
How much does a recruitment agency charge in Indonesia?
Fees depend on the role level, headcount, location and the guarantee period you need. For factory workers the fee is usually quoted per hired candidate; for management searches it is linked to the position's annual salary. We do not publish a price list because every plant is different. Contact us with your requirement and we will send a written proposal.
Do you charge job seekers?
Never. Under Article 11 of Permenaker 18/2024, licensed placement agencies are prohibited from collecting placement fees from job seekers. Hire Global charges employers only. If anyone asks you for money in our name, please report it to info@hireglobal.id.
Do you hire for factories in Indonesia or send Indonesian workers abroad?
We recruit workers for factories and offices located in Indonesia. We do not place Indonesian workers overseas. Our clients are Chinese, Taiwanese, Singaporean and other foreign-invested manufacturers as well as domestic Indonesian companies that need production staff, supervisors, managers or Mandarin-speaking employees.
What is the difference between a recruitment agency and an EOR or outsourcing company?
A recruitment agency such as Hire Global finds and screens candidates who then sign an employment contract with your company; the agency is paid a fee and steps back. An employer-of-record or outsourcing company remains the legal employer. Since Permenaker 7/2026, outsourcing in Indonesia is restricted to six support-service categories, so core production roles should be hired directly. Headhunting follows the same direct-hire logic for management positions.
Can you recruit Mandarin-speaking staff for a Chinese-owned factory?
Yes. Our director Hu Tingshan is a native Mandarin speaker and we maintain a pool of Indonesian candidates with HSK-level Chinese for interpreter, HR, admin, procurement and supervisor roles. Note that under PP 34/2021 foreign nationals cannot hold HR or personnel positions in Indonesia, so a bilingual local HR team is a regulatory necessity, not just a convenience. See Mandarin-speaking staff recruitment.
