SDA&CO is Cambodia's only SME-focused talent acquisition firm that combines business strategy advisory with end-to-end recruitment — so every hire is aligned to where your business is going, not just filling a vacancy.
"Every agency promises 2 replacements. We work to make sure you never need one."
Most recruitment agencies in Cambodia are CV-matching services. SDA&CO is built on a fundamentally different model — one that treats every hire as a business strategy question, not a vacancy to fill.
Every candidate is interviewed by SDA&CO before the client meets anyone. You receive written assessments — not CVs. We stay involved through Day 90. Most agencies won't build this because it requires discipline and time.
We approach every hire as a business strategy question. Candidates are assessed for alignment with your growth goals, culture, and team gaps — not just the job description. No pure recruitment agency has this depth.
Flat fees. Direct access to Coach Dara's SME network. Built specifically for businesses with 5–100 employees — not the MNC-focused model that dominates the market. Relationships and local trust take years to build.
The White Space
No agency in Cambodia is purpose-built for SMEs with a business strategy lens. That is the white space SDA&CO owns.
From a single strategic hire to an ongoing HR partnership — choose the level of engagement that fits your business.
One-time strategic hire. Flat fee per position. For micro-businesses and startups making a critical hire.
Strategic hire plus onboarding support. For SMEs with 5–50 staff making a key hire with real integration needs.
Ongoing monthly HR partnership. For growing businesses that need a dedicated talent partner, not a one-time agency.
All tiers: flat fees only — no % of salary. Written service agreement required before sourcing begins.
The market standard is 2 replacements within 3 months — a promise most agencies cannot keep because they don't invest in the placement deeply enough.
SDA&CO takes a different approach: one replacement, genuinely delivered, backed by a proactive check-in process designed to prevent replacements from being needed in the first place.
SDA&CO guarantees one replacement candidate if the original placement exits within 90 days of their start date — at no additional charge, regardless of the replacement candidate's salary level.
Confirm smooth start. Workspace and tools ready. Early concerns flagged immediately.
First month review — performance, integration, feedback, and any support needs.
Informal mid-point check. Signs of drift or dissatisfaction addressed early.
Formal review — performance vs. brief, relationship health, referral request.
Guarantee applies to Tier 2 and Tier 3 engagements. Excludes redundancies, role changes after placement, and exits after 90 days.
