That works until the hire goes wrong, and then the decision has no paper trail. A short RFP with a weighted scorecard fixes that without turning procurement into a project, and it usually gets better proposals because suppliers know exactly what will be judged.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"cs-fig\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.corestaff.com.sg\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/corestaff-sept-art8-hero-2.jpg\" alt=\"A procurement evaluation meeting with a scorecard grid on a wall screen and proposal folders on the table\" title=\"Choosing a Recruitment Agency in Singapore: An RFP Template and Weighted Scorecard\" loading=\"lazy\"><figcaption>Most agency selections are decided on price and personality.

Supplier A is cheapest at 12 per cent of annual salary but has placed twice in your sector in three years. Supplier B charges 18 per cent and has placed forty roles in your sector, with two references who both confirmed the replacement terms were honoured without argument. Supplier C charges a retainer and offers no named time-to-shortlist. On a weighted scorecard, where sector depth and guarantee terms carry more weight than fee, Supplier B wins despite being the most expensive on paper. The exercise is not about finding the cheapest supplier. It is about making visible why the cheapest supplier is often the most expensive one once the hire does not work out, and why a defensible decision is worth more than a discounted invoice.<\/p>\n<div class=\"cs-note\"><strong>Frame the criteria, and you frame the outcome.<\/strong>An employer that publishes its RFP template and scorecard runs a faster, fairer selection and gets better proposals, because suppliers know exactly what will be judged.<\/div>\n<div class=\"cs-cta\">\n<h3>Download the selection toolkit<\/h3>\n<p>The Agency Selection Toolkit includes the RFP template, the weighted scorecard, the reference question set and suggested guarantee clauses you can paste into a contract.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"cs-btn\" href=\"https:\/\/glutenfreepleasure.com\/__proxy_domain\/www.corestaff.com.sg\/recruitment-rfp-template-singapore\/\">Get the Agency Selection Toolkit<\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<div class=\"cs-faq\">\n<details>\n<summary>How many agencies should I invite to an RFP?<\/summary>\n<p>Three to five is enough to compare on substance without creating an unmanageable evaluation load.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<details>\n<summary>Should price be the heaviest weight?<\/summary>\n<p>Usually not.
