Finding Talent
Finding the right employees for your business needs is critical. Singapore's Fair Consideration Framework (FCF) emphasizes the need for all organisations, including those foreign-owned, to prioritise the employment and skills development of the local population. This is achieved through a balance of employment passes, quotas, recruitment and development programmes and continued monitoring.
The British Chamber of Commerce Singapore works closely with colleagues at the Ministry of Manpower and other agencies to maintain two-way dialogues between our business community and Government stakeholders at multiple levels of seniority. The following resources direct users to sources of talent recruitment in Singapore plus additional programmes for your consideration, where eligible.
