How the score works →Recruitment agencies in Singapore: questions
How are these Singapore recruitment agencies ranked?
Each firm gets a score from public data: how focused it is on one specialty, how many roles it is actively hiring for, and its track record. We rank 528 firms in Singapore so far and re-score them as new data comes in. The full method is on our methodology page.
Can a recruitment agency pay to rank higher?
No. There is no paid placement. Claiming a profile, adding terms and our sponsor never change a score or a rank.
What's the difference between a recruitment agency, a headhunter and an executive search firm?
They overlap. A recruitment agency fills roles for employers, usually on contingency. Headhunter is the informal name for a recruiter who approaches people who aren't job hunting. Executive search firms are headhunters for senior roles and usually work on a retained basis. We list all three when they fill professional, white-collar roles.
How much do recruitment agencies in Singapore charge?
Most agencies charge a percentage of the hire's first-year base salary. Contingency recruiters are commonly quoted at around 15–25% and are paid only when you hire; retained and executive search firms often charge 25–35%, paid in stages as the search progresses.
My firm is missing or something is wrong. What can I do?
Firms can claim their profile for free and correct their details. Anyone can request a correction; we reply within three working days.
