At its peak around 2015\u20132016, approximately <strong>3,900 licensed employment agencies<\/strong> were registered with MOM. Following tighter regulatory requirements \u2014 including mandatory EA Key Appointment Holder (KAH) certification, stricter compliance audits and higher capital requirements \u2014 the number has fallen to around <strong>1,600\u20131,800 active licensed EAs<\/strong> as of 2024\u20132025.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This rationalisation has improved overall market quality. However, within that 1,600, the range is still enormous \u2014 from solo operators handling a few placements per year to multinationals managing thousands. Knowing where an agency sits in that spectrum is essential before you engage.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Historical Licensed EA Count in Singapore (MOM Data)<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table is-style-stripes\">\r\n<table>\r\n<thead>\r\n<tr>\r\n<th>Period<\/th>\r\n<th>Approx.

The consolidation followed tighter MOM licensing requirements, mandatory EA Key Appointment Holder (KAH) certification, and compliance enforcement. Historical figures cited in research (1,615 \/ 1,855 \/ 1,976 \/ 3,461 \/ 3,565 \/ 3,716 \/ 3,900) reflect different years and data cuts. The current active count is estimated at 1,600\u20131,800. Always verify an agency&#8217;s status at MOM&#8217;s portal before engaging.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the best recruitment agency in Singapore for foreigners?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The best agencies for foreign worker recruitment hold a full MOM EA licence, have active overseas sourcing networks (Malaysia, India, Philippines, Bangladesh, Indonesia) and can demonstrate COMPASS assessment capability for EP and S Pass applications. <strong>Corestaff, Manpower and Adecco<\/strong> are commonly used for large-scale Work Permit hiring in construction and manufacturing. For PMET foreign workers (EP\/S Pass), Corestaff, Michael Page and specialist IT agencies with India pipelines are frequently engaged. The right choice depends on your sector, pass type and volume.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Which recruitment agency is best for Indian professionals in Singapore?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For employers recruiting Indian PMETs on EP or S Pass, agencies with India-specific sourcing networks (Mumbai, Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi) and active COMPASS diversity advisory are most effective. <strong>Corestaff, Michael Page and Robert Half<\/strong> are regularly engaged for senior Indian PMET placements. For mid-level IT roles, tech-specialist agencies with dedicated India pipelines are often a stronger fit. COMPASS C3 (nationality diversity) is a key planning consideration \u2014 your agency should model this before submitting any EP application where Indian nationals already form a significant share of your EP holders.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How much do recruitment agencies charge in Singapore?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Standard market ranges: <strong>permanent placement 15\u201325%<\/strong> of annual salary; <strong>Work Permit SGD 500\u20131,500<\/strong> per worker; <strong>S Pass\/EP SGD 2,000\u20134,000<\/strong> per hire; temporary staffing at an all-inclusive hourly rate; executive search <strong>25\u201333% of first-year CTC<\/strong>. MOM caps candidate-side fees at 1 month&#8217;s salary. Always request an itemised written quote before signing any mandate, and clarify what triggers payment (offer acceptance vs. start date) and what happens if a pass is rejected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the difference between a staffing agency and a recruitment agency in Singapore?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A <strong>staffing agency<\/strong> primarily deploys temporary, contract or on-demand workers and often acts as employer-of-record \u2014 managing payroll, CPF, MOM compliance and HR administration. A <strong>recruitment agency<\/strong> focuses on permanent placements where the employer directly employs the candidate. A fee is paid on successful placement. Full-service firms like Corestaff do both. The practical difference for employers: staffing is an operating cost billed in real-time; permanent recruitment is a one-off success fee with a guarantee period.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are flexible staffing solutions in Singapore?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Flexible or on-demand staffing allows employers to deploy workers on short-term, project-based or as-needed terms without long-term headcount commitments. Singapore agencies typically deploy blue-collar and event workers within 24\u201372 hours. This model is growing in the construction, manufacturing, logistics, events, and retail sectors, where demand is project-driven rather than constant. It also intersects with MOM&#8217;s <a style=\"color: #e8681a;\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.corestaff.com.sg\/platform-workers-bill-singapore-cpf-obligations\/\">platform worker CPF framework<\/a> for gig-economy roles.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How quickly can a recruitment agency fill a vacancy in Singapore?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typical timelines: <strong>temporary \/ on-demand roles 24\u201372 hours<\/strong>; <strong>permanent PMETs 2\u20134 weeks<\/strong>; <strong>executive search 8\u201312 weeks<\/strong>; <strong>Work Permit workers 3\u20135 weeks<\/strong> (including MOM IPA and arrival processing). Agencies with pre-screened candidate databases reduce time-to-hire by 40\u201365% versus direct hiring from scratch. Specialist agencies consistently outperform generalists for technical and foreign worker roles, where matching requirements are more complex.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What should I look for when shortlisting a recruitment agency?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Eight key criteria: (1) valid MOM EA licence (verify at mom.gov.sg); (2) sector specialisation matching your needs; (3) a verifiable candidate database beyond job boards; (4) written replacement guarantee of 60\u201390 days minimum with clear conditions; (5) COMPASS capability if hiring foreign PMETs; (6) transparent itemised fee structure; (7) dedicated senior consultant (not a revolving door of juniors); (8) client references you can actually contact. <a style=\"color: #e8681a;\" href=\"#how-to-choose\">See our full evaluation checklist above.<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How do recruitment agencies help with COMPASS for the Employment Pass?<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">COMPASS is MOM&#8217;s point-based assessment framework for all Employment Pass applications, introduced in September 2023. Specialist agencies assist employers by: running a COMPASS pre-assessment before submission to flag any scoring risks; advising on the nationality diversity criterion (C3) if your company has concentration risk; benchmarking the candidate&#8217;s salary against the local PMET median for the role category (C1); ensuring the mandatory 14-day MyCareersFuture advertisement is in place; and supporting appeals and resubmissions if an initial application is rejected.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"get-started\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Talk to Corestaff About Your Hiring Needs<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you&#8217;re evaluating agencies for the first time, replacing an underperforming supplier, or need specialist support for a specific challenge, Corestaff offers a no-obligation initial consultation.
