By 2025, Singapore’s economy will be in a full recovery, but even so, it will still have the tightest labour market in all of Asia. Singapore will have an unemployment rate of 1.9%, which is almost the lowest in the state’s history. At the same time, in the most recent quarter, over 68,500 job vacancies were reported. This means companies will have a difficult time filling positions.Because of this, most Singaporean companies, be it SMEs or MNCs, are establishing partnerships with local recruiting firms such as Manpower Access, a recruiting and staffing firm licensed with the Ministry of Manpower.
With that in mind, let us highlight the most important benefits of cooperating with Manpower Access that Singaporean companies have experienced in 2025.
We understand that the average time to fill positions in in Singapore is over 42 days for most roles.
Manpower Access is able to reduce this to 7-14 days for most positions by accessing a pre-screened pool of local and foreign talent (S Pass, Employment Pass, Work Permit holders).

Entities such as Manpower Access have been collecting data on more than 50,000 pre-screened and vetted foreign talents, Singapore citizens, PRs, and overseas skilled workers that are available or can be brought in on short notice.
It can be really complicated to get the Employment Pass, S Pass quotas, the Fair Consideration Framework (FCF), and the most recent COMPASS framework all at the same time, especially since they are all changing really quickly.
All the applications, appeals, and documents are managed by a licensed agency to get rid of the expensive rejection risks and penalties.
In Singapore, direct hiring costs over S$8,000 – S$15,000 (advertising, HR time, background checks).
Manpower Access provides transparent placement fees with no upfront payments, access to a replacement guarantee, and most of the time saves the clients 30 – 50% on costs.
