Staffing services in Singapore

Through a blend of our assignment support, commercial & legal, finance and travel teams, we offer a comprehensive global mobility service and make contractor transitions to the area as smooth as possible. Our teams take care of all contractor logistics to ensure a 100% compliant solution for all stakeholders, including orchestrating all payroll, taxation, central provident funds, medical and travel insurances, and employment passes (EP). Through our local presence we are able to provide Employer of Record (EOR) services for businesses without an entity in the city-state. With an EOR solution, we provide a shadow payroll for foreign workers, including employment pass and taxation Services, where salary is maintained in the worker’s home location.

Our long in-region tenure had led to strong relationships and extensive experience with local visa & immigration processes and associated legislation. We diligently monitor our Singaporean:Foreign candidate ratio, which allows us to support clients with EP and S-Pass applications. We are also adept in providing local hires with over 350 skilled Singaporeans on our books, further supporting our capacity to attain employment passes from the MoM.

We’ve supplied volume levels of staff with NORSOK, EPC and FPSO experience to the largest fabrication projects, supported major Downstream, Chemicals and Life Sciences projects with local staffing and helped multiple organisations mobilise project leadership teams to Singapore, all whilst mitigating Covid-19 travel restrictions and mobilising candidates internationally throughout project phases when required.
