LINE MAN Wongnai wins LinkedIn Talent Awards for the AI Pioneer: Best Talent Acquisition Team category (for organizations with 1,000 – 5,000 employees). The award recognizes the company’s excellence in attracting and selecting top-tier talent within the highly competitive tech industry. The award highlights LINE MAN Wongnai’s rigorous recruitment strategy. In 2025, the company received over 41,000 applications from both Thailand and abroad. Despite the high volume, the company maintained a strict selection process to find the best long-term fits. Notably, the company continues to invest heavily in technical talent, with tech roles accounting for approximately 40% of all new hires—a figure significantly higher than the industry average. In terms of team structure, LINE MAN Wongnai has achieved a more balanced workforce. In 2025, Gen Z made up 55% of new hires, while Gen Y accounted for 44%. This reflects a strategy of blending the agility of the younger generation with the deep expertise of experienced professionals to support long-term business expansion. Anontawong Marukpitak, SVP of People and Communications at LINE MAN Wongnai, stated: “Our growth stems from building a team that is ready for rapid change. We focus on recruiting people with technical potential, the ability to work with AI, and a strong understanding of the business—especially as we expand through acquisitions and new ventures. Our Talent Acquisition team has shifted to a more strategic approach to find ‘the right’ people, not just the ‘smart’ ones. We prioritize practical skills over specific degrees. Candidates must have growth potential, a personality that fits our culture, and a positive mindset that makes people want to work with them. All of this is to maintain a strong organizational standard and continue driving innovation for the Thai people.” The LinkedIn Talent Awards are organized by LinkedIn, the world’s largest professional network. The AI Pioneer: Best Talent Acquisition Team award recognizes organizations that excel in using AI technology within their recruitment process. LINE MAN Wongnai embedded AI into its core workflows, handling +20% application growth without slowing down while enabling faster, more scalable hiring. The talent acquisition team reduced candidate review time by nearly 50% through AI-powered evaluation and summarization, and saved around 40% of recruiter time on manual outreach and administrative tasks with AI-assisted messaging and automated follow-ups. This allows the team to focus more on selecting the best candidates and helps the company stand out in today’s highly competitive market for top talent. Previously, LINE MAN Wongnai won the LinkedIn Talent Awards for Best Employer Brand (for organizations with fewer than 1,000 employees) in 2023.
