The Vietnam Association of Manpower Supply (VAMAS) Code of Conduct (COC-VN) was adopted in 2010, and 108 recruitment agencies signed up to commit to its principles and guidelines relating to various aspects of the recruitment process (fees, contracts, pre-departure training, dispute settlement, etc.).

Through a monitoring and evaluation (M&E) mechanism, the application of the Code of Conduct has been assessed three times, with the most recent assessment including 70 agencies that together send 60% of migrant workers from Vietnam. VAMAS also organises trainings for recruitment agency staff and provincial labour officers, and has signed collaboration agreements with local authorities, inspection agencies, Vietnamese labour management sections in receiving countries as well as the Vietnam General Confederation of Labour in order to enhance awareness and understanding of the Code and strengthen collaboration in its monitoring.
