Singapore Firms And Philippine Recruitment Agencies
The Philippines is one of Singapore’s biggest sources of foreign workers. Filipinos are spread in various industries including technology, manufacturing, healthcare, and domestic service, among others. Illegal recruitment, however, is still a huge problem, and this often leads to cases like payment fraud, trafficking, illegal residency, and whatnot. Today, more than ever, it is important that you choose a Singapore employment firm that is only connected to licensed Philippine Recruitment Agencies.
Ensuring Strong Ties With Philippine Recruitment Agencies
So how do you identify a good employment firm? Here are few questions that you should ask before entering an agreement.
Do you work closely with the POEA? Philippine Overseas Employment Administration or POEA is the Philippines’ government agency that grants license to local recruiters. It’s important that your chosen Singapore employment firm only partners with Filipino recruiters that are accredited by this agency. Ask for proofs and verify them.
How fast can you handover workers? A firm must be able to offer a guaranteed timeframe on when they would bring in the people.
How much do you charge? As an employer, you should be aware of the total amount of service fees that you should shoulder, the placement fees that are charged to the workers, and all other costs that the firm charges.
What will happen if the worker does not arrive? A Singapore employment firm usually offers replacement for free. Employers can also seek for refund if they do not accept the replacement offered.
What if I want to replace workers? Firms often give you a reasonable probationary period wherein you could assess the workers’ performance. If this period expires and you still decide to replace a worker, note that you have to pay replacement fees and other related costs.
Employment Firm Compliance And Philippine Recruitment Agencies
In selecting a Singapore employment firm, make sure that you are informed about years of experience, industry specialties, and compliance status.
The constructor sector, for instance, seeks for people with specific technical skills and professional licenses, so it is important that the firm is an expert of the employment needs of your industry.
You should also make sure that the firm you choose is itself a recognised business in Singapore. Recognised firms are strongly obligated to only work with legal Philippine Recruitment Agencies and will not put your reputation as employer at risk.
