Hiring grants in Singapore — handled, with the right hire to match

Most firms help you fill in a grant form. We do the harder half too: we find the person, and bring you the candidate profile that unlocks the biggest support — then handle the application. One team for the hire and the grant.

Don’t want to pay a placement fee? You don’t have to. Come for the grant help — we’ll show you what you can claim in 60 seconds.

Which grants fit your hire?

Answer three quick things. We’ll show what you could claim and how much — no sign-up, no catch. This is the same free check our consultants run with you.

These don’t all stack the same way — some are one-off, some monthly, some automatic. We’ll tell you the best combination for your hire.

Three ways to work with us

Take as much help as you want

The full service

We find + apply

We source and vet the right candidate and handle the grant. The application fee is waived — this runs on our placement terms.

Placement fee · grant help included

Indicative pricing for illustration. We agree fees clearly upfront. Grants are administered by WSG (transitioning to the new SWDA agency) and IRAS; we act on your behalf, we are not a government body.

The workforce grants we cover

What’s on the table

We focus on the grants tied to hiring and reskilling people — the ones where knowing the right candidate actually changes the outcome.

Apply = a real application we can handle for you. Automatic = IRAS pays it based on your CPF records; no application, we just make sure you don’t miss it.

Why we’re different

A grant consultant fills the form.
We change who’s on it.

Anyone can help submit a CCP application. What they can’t do is put the right person in front of you — and that’s what actually decides how much support you get. Because we’re recruiters first, we can bring you the candidate whose profile unlocks the bigger grant, and build a stronger application around a hire we already know.

We supply the candidateThe hard half a grant consultant can’t do — a vetted person, not just paperwork.

Common questions

Straight answers

Do I have to pay a placement fee to get grant help?

No. If you’ve found your own person or you’re reskilling existing staff, we’ll just handle the grant application for a flat fee. The placement fee only applies if you want us to find the candidate too — and in that case, the grant application is included.

What does the application help cost?+

A flat fee, agreed upfront before any work starts. We don’t take a cut of your grant — and if you end up hiring the candidate through us, the application fee is waived.

How can you get me more support than a grant consultant?+

The support level often depends on who you hire — for example, a Singaporean aged 40+ or someone unemployed for six months or more unlocks the enhanced 90% CCP rate. A consultant can only work with the person you’ve already picked. We can bring you the profile that qualifies for the most support in the first place.

Which grants can you actually apply for on my behalf?+

The ones that need a real application — CCP, Mid-Career Pathways, Part-Time Re-employment and Job Redesign. The wage credits (senior, disability, ex-offender) are paid automatically by IRAS; there’s nothing to apply for, so we simply make sure you’re set up to receive them.

Are you a government agency or official partner?+

No — we’re a recruitment agency acting on your behalf, the same way a grant consultant does. The grants themselves are run by WSG (moving to the new SWDA agency) and IRAS.
