Fashion and textiles are among Indonesia’s most important industries, from export garment, footwear and textile factories in Java to modest fashion labels, fast-growing local brands and international retailers serving one of the world’s largest consumer markets. Exporters face pressure on cost, compliance and lead times, while brands compete on design, digital marketing and speed to market.
As a fashion recruitment agency, Talent Hunts Indonesia uses executive search and permanent recruitment to hire brand and retail directors, design and merchandising heads, factory and production leaders, and the sourcing, compliance and supply chain professionals who keep collections on time. We work closely with our retail and manufacturing practices.
Our headhunters map talent across export manufacturers, buying offices, brands, retailers and e-commerce players, so you meet candidates who understand both the product and the business behind it.
Our Recruitment Approach
Fashion and textile roles differ greatly between a factory, a buying office and a brand. Before approaching candidates, we work to understand:
- Business model: export manufacturing, brand, retail or sourcing
- Products: apparel, footwear, textiles, modest fashion or accessories
- Customers, buyers and compliance standards
- Channel mix: stores, marketplaces, wholesale or export
- Calendar, lead times and production capacity
- Location: Jakarta head office or factory sites in Java
Candidates are assessed through our HUNTS Framework™, with a focus on Navigated Track Record and Stakeholder Acumen, so you see who has delivered collections, margins and buyer relationships. Read more about our methodology.
