We keep your people operations moving.
Recruitment, HR, payroll and manpower outsourcing for Singapore employers who can't afford a gap: experienced people-operations support, without building everything in-house.
What is Skillsforce?
Skillsforce is a people-operations continuity partner for Singapore employers, established in 1998. We handle recruitment, HR, payroll and manpower outsourcing, so hiring, compliance and payday keep running when your internal team is lean, overloaded, mid-transition, or not yet built. One partner for the gaps you cannot afford to leave open.

What needs covering?
Tell us the problem, not the service category. Each one points to the support that fixes it.
We need to hire, but our team is already overloaded.
We need HR handled properly, or we’re setting up in Singapore.
Payroll, CPF and IRAS have to be accurate and on time.
We need staff employed, paid and supported, without adding headcount.
Four ways we keep you
covered.
Skillsforce is a partner, not a vendor. Each engagement runs through an experienced consultant who takes on the awkward, important parts of your people function and runs them properly.
Hire the right people, faster
Permanent, contract and temporary placements, plus our Strategic Recruitment Service and Resume Management Service for hiring spikes, across seven sectors.
HR handled properly
Outsourced HR operations, HR start-up operations for new Singapore offices, and work-pass support. Experienced execution without a full in-house team.
Payroll that never misses
Full-spectrum payroll: CPF, IR8A/IR21, ePay slips, reimbursements and government claims, prepared for your authorisation. Accurate and on time.
Staff employed, you run the work
We employ staff on your behalf, paying CPF and issuing payslips, while you direct the day-to-day. Flexible, customisable arrangements from six months to several years.
Skillsforce by the numbers
Where we go deep.
We recruit and run people operations across seven sectors. Each has its own hiring rhythm and payroll quirks, so we keep hiring, HR and payroll moving to what that sector actually needs, not a generic template.
Banking & Finance
Logistics (Land/Air/Ocean)
Oil & Gas / Marine
Manufacturing
Pharmaceutical & Healthcare
Tech Start-ups
FMCG
Seven is where we go deepest, not the limit of where we work. If your industry is not on this list, the payroll and compliance side of the job transfers to it unchanged. How we take on a sector that is new to us →

Common questions
What does Skillsforce do?
We cover four things for Singapore employers: recruitment and executive search, HR solutions, payroll processing, and manpower outsourcing. You can hand us one of them or all four. The point is continuity: keeping your people operations running when your own team cannot stretch to cover them.
Who does Skillsforce work with?
Mostly lean SMEs, mid-market employers, and foreign companies setting up or running lean in Singapore, typically between 10 and 150 staff. If your HR is one stretched person or not yet built, or you are new to MOM, CPF and IRAS, that is our usual starting point.
Is Skillsforce a licensed employment agency?
Yes. Skillsforce Management Consultancy Pte Ltd holds Employment Agency Licence 99C3289 and has run people operations for Singapore employers since 1998.
Can I use Skillsforce for just one service?
Yes. Many clients start with a single gap, a stalled hire, a payroll run, a resigned HR person, then add others over time. There is no requirement to bundle. We shape the support around what you actually need.
Do you only work in the seven sectors listed on your site?
No. Those seven are where we go deepest, not the limit of where we work. Payroll, CPF and IRAS filings follow the same statutory rules whatever your industry. For recruitment in a sector new to us, we take a longer brief and treat the first shortlist as a calibration, and we say plainly what we already know about your market.
How do I start?
Tell us the gap through the enquiry form or by phone, and we respond within one to three working days with a practical next step. No long procurement cycle just to get a straight answer.
Tell us where you can't
afford a gap.
Hiring, HR, payroll, manpower outsourcing, or setting up in Singapore: tell us what needs covering and we will come back within one to three working days with a practical next step.
One to three working days.
