Why Networking Matters More Than Endless Job Applications

3 Oct 2025

The Power of a Referral

Many candidates spend months tweaking their CVs, applying for jobs online, and going through rounds of interviews — only to hit a dead end.

But sometimes, all it takes is one referral. Someone mentions your name to the right person, and suddenly, the process moves quickly.

At True Blue, we’ve seen it first-hand. Recently, a candidate was referred to us by an old contact. They were the perfect match for a new search and were fast-tracked through the process. Within days, they had the job.


Why Networking Matters in Thailand’s IT Market

Thailand’s IT industry is fast-moving, and companies often rely on trusted recommendations to cut through the noise. Here’s how you can boost your chances:

  • Referrals: Ask mentors, colleagues, or peers to connect you with recruiters.

  • Introductions: Attend events or reach out on LinkedIn. A short intro can open doors.

  • Recommendations: A strong endorsement from someone respected in the industry carries weight.

Networking isn’t about luck — it’s about making the right connections and being visible when opportunities arise.


How You Can Help Others Too

If you know someone talented and career-minded, don’t just wish them luck. Be the person who connects them to the right opportunity. A quick intro or recommendation might change their career.
