Learn more →How to choose the right service
Six common hiring situations — each routes to the right engagement model.
- › Confidential leadership replacement — CFO, MD, country head, board-level — needs a retained search with discretion. → Executive Search
- › Multiple permanent hires across functions — individual contributor through mid-management roles, billed on a tiered fee structure with replacement guarantee. → General Recruitment
- › Scale hiring — 50+ roles a year, in-house TA at capacity — embedded recruiters under your brand and ATS, aligned with Fair Consideration Framework. → RPO Services
- › Project-based or interim coverage — maternity cover, transformation projects, peak-season ramp. We become the legal employer; you direct the work. → Contract & Temporary Staffing
- › Tech team scale-ups — engineers, DevOps, data, product roles needed fast; in-house TA isn't tech-fluent. Pre-vetted by ex-engineers. → IT Staff Augmentation
- › SEA-distributed teams — admin, ops, customer success, content across HCMC, KL, Bangkok, Jakarta. English-speaking talent vetted for remote-readiness. → Remote Talent Solutions

How is executive search different from general recruitment?

General Recruitment covers individual contributor through mid-management permanent hires on tiered fee based on annual total remuneration (TAR), under EA Licence 02C4944.

Do you handle contract and temporary staffing?
Yes. Contract & Temporary Staffing covers project-based engagements, maternity or sabbatical cover, and peak-load resourcing. We become the legal employer and handle CPF, SDL, SHG, WIC, leave, and IR8A — you direct the day-to-day work.
Can you recruit for roles outside Singapore?
Yes. People Profilers has locally-licensed entities in Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia. Consultants in each market handle recruitment locally with full regulatory compliance. We are not a third-party EOR aggregator — the legal entity is our own in each market.
