ISL INTEGRATED SOLUTION LIMITED

ISL Integrated Solution Limited is an enterprise solutions provider founded in Hong Kong in 1985. Since the beginning, the company has focused on helping businesses streamline their operations through innovative technologies, including solutions in AI and edge computing.

Its flagship product, ReportNow, has already gained strong traction in the Hong Kong market, supported by a portfolio of well-known enterprise customers. With a proven product and a solid foundation at home, ISL saw an opportunity to expand into Southeast Asia and replicate its success across the region.

As ISL explored expansion into new markets, building a reliable team outside of Hong Kong quickly became a challenge. The company had worked with several recruitment agencies over the years, but the results were inconsistent. In some cases, the candidates did not fully meet expectations. In others, even when the right talent was found, retention became an issue, making it difficult to maintain team stability.

This created a cycle of rehiring and delays, which slowed down ISL's ability to scale. More importantly, it became clear that what they needed was not just a recruitment vendor, but a partner who could help them set up and sustain a team in new markets with confidence.

ISL eventually partnered with Glints TalentHub to support its regional expansion. What stood out was Glints' ability to provide an end-to-end talent solution, combining recruitment with Employer of Record (EOR) services.

This made a meaningful difference in how ISL approached hiring in new countries. Instead of navigating fragmented processes across sourcing, compliance, and onboarding, everything was handled in a more seamless and efficient way. The team could be set up faster, with fewer operational barriers.

In 2023, when ISL decided to expand into Malaysia, Glints supported them in hiring the right local team while also providing EOR services. This allowed ISL to operate in the market without needing to establish a legal entity, while still having the resources on the ground to support customers locally. The process was not only faster, but also much easier to manage.

With the right team in place, ISL began to see real business impact. The newly formed team was able to support both pre-sales and post-sales activities, helping the company gain traction in new markets. This led to new customer opportunities, additional projects, and stronger momentum in the region.

Beyond hiring, Glints also played a role in helping ISL grow sustainably. The support extended beyond just filling roles, ensuring that the team could operate effectively within the business and contribute to long-term success.

As ISL looks ahead, the company sees strong potential across Southeast Asia, particularly in markets like Indonesia and Vietnam. With Glints' established presence in these countries, ISL plans to continue leveraging the partnership to expand further, build strong local teams, and capture more opportunities across the region in the coming years.
