Second Talent
Indonesia-Focused EOR With Rapid Onboarding
SecondTalent is a pure-play Indonesian EOR provider built specifically for foreign companies hiring local talent without establishing an entity. The company positions itself on speed and simplicity, offering onboarding timelines of 2-5 business days and transparent pricing. SecondTalent handles the full compliance stack: employment contracts in Bahasa Indonesia, BPJS health and employment insurance registration, PPh21 income tax withholding, and mandatory THR bonus administration. Their typical client profile skews toward technology startups and SMBs hiring small distributed teams of 1-20 employees. The platform emphasis is on reducing friction for first-time market entrants who need compliant employment without the overhead of navigating Indonesian bureaucracy directly.
Key Features:
- Full EOR services with owned Indonesian entity
- 2-5 day employee onboarding timeline
- BPJS Kesehatan and Ketenagakerjaan registration included
- PPh21 tax withholding and THR bonus administration
- Transparent flat-rate pricing model
Why I Picked Second Talent:
SecondTalent represents the emerging class of Indonesia-native EOR providers competing on speed and price transparency rather than geographic breadth. For employers hiring fewer than 20 people in Indonesia who prioritise fast onboarding over enterprise features, this is the profile to evaluate first.
