Sectors

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.

Sectors we recruit and support in Singapore

Banking & Finance

01
From operations and compliance to finance and the middle office, Banking & Finance employers cannot afford a staffing or compliance gap. We keep hiring, HR and payroll moving across the function.

Tech Start-ups

02
A start-up’s first hires set the team, and the first payroll runs set the compliance habits. We help you build that team in Singapore before you have built an HR function, running the search early and having payroll and HR ready the moment your entity exists.

Logistics

03
Freight does not wait for a vacancy. Across land, air and ocean, we keep coordinators, planners and warehouse teams staffed, and the shift payroll behind them running on time.

A plant runs on people on the line and engineers behind it. We keep production, QA and engineering roles staffed, and handle the shift payroll that keeps output and compliance steady.

Beyond the seven

If your industry is not here.

Seven sectors is where we go deepest. It is not the limit of where we work.

Most of what we run does not change by industry. Payroll, CPF and IRAS filings, employment contracts and leave records follow the same statutory rules for a freight forwarder, a dental clinic and a design studio. That half of the job transfers to your industry on day one, whatever it is.

Recruitment is the part where sector knowledge genuinely counts, so we would rather describe how we handle it than pretend we already know your market. We take a longer brief. We treat the first shortlist as a calibration and expect your feedback to move it. And we tell you at the outset which parts of your hiring market we know well and which we are learning.

Being small is what makes that workable. The consultant who takes your brief is the consultant who runs the search, so an unfamiliar role does not get passed down to a desk that does not cover it. We have run the same method across seven sectors since 1998. A method travels. A contact list does not.
