What is an Employer of Record?
An Employer of Record (EOR) becomes the legal employer of your hire on paper, taking on payroll, statutory contributions and compliance — while you continue to manage their day-to-day work directly. It is how overseas companies and SMEs hire in Singapore without setting up a local Pte Ltd, and how multi-country teams scale across Southeast Asia without standing up legal entities in every market.
EOR or recruitment — which one do you need?
Two paths into the Singapore market — pick the one that fits your hire.
Option A
EOR — Singapore citizens & PRs
We become the legal employer of your hire. Payroll, CPF, IRAS filing, MC and statutory leave — all handled by us. No need for your own Singapore entity.
Best for: Hiring SG citizens or PRs without setting up a Pte Ltd. Onboarded in 5–7 working days.
Option B
Recruitment — EP / S Pass hires
Work pass sponsorship is tied to the entity holding the foreign worker quota — typically your Singapore entity. As Singapore’s MOM-licensed Employment Agency since 2002, we handle sourcing, screening and onboarding.
