Vietnam talent
Why Vietnam — and why it works for Israeli product teams
The objection we hear most: “Can Vietnamese developers really keep up with our pace?” Here’s the honest answer, backed by data.
Timezone
4–5 hours of real overlap every morning
Vietnam is UTC+7. Israel is UTC+2 (UTC+3 in summer). Developers start at 8am Vietnam time. By the time your team arrives at 9am Israel, there are already 5 hours of work done and 4 hours of live overlap remaining.
9am–1pm Israel / 2pm–6pm Vietnam
The talent pool
A mature tech market, not a gamble
Vietnam is not an emerging offshore destination — it’s been a serious tech hub for over a decade, with the infrastructure and track record to prove it.
What we screen for
Product-company fit, not just technical skill
Most offshore developers come from outsourcing firms. We specifically target candidates with product-company backgrounds — developers who are used to owning work, not just completing tickets.
Product company experience
Worked on a product with a real user base, not just client projects.
Active GitHub profile
Personal projects, open source contributions, consistent commit history.
Asks questions first
In technical interviews, we specifically check for candidates who clarify requirements”before jumping to code.
Disagrees respectfully
Soft skills interview specifically probes for candidates who push back on bad technical decisions.
