Hanoi, Vietnam – A recent survey conducted by Robert Walters, a global recruitment consultancy, has revealed a positive outlook for Vietnam’s job market in 2025. The survey, which polled 84 Vietnamese companies across various industries, found that 82% of businesses are planning salary increases for the coming year.
The survey also indicated that employers are focusing on strengthening their talent acquisition programs through competitive bonus schemes (76%) and comprehensive training and development initiatives (67%).

The survey, which included hundreds of respondents across different job roles and levels, highlighted several positive trends. A significant 73% of employees expressed optimism about their career prospects, reflecting a growing confidence in job opportunities.
Salary and benefits emerged as the top contributors to employee satisfaction, with 46% of employees emphasizing the importance of competitive compensation packages, and 77% highlighting the role of bonuses.
