What we do

The IT roles you actually need to fill — in volume, done well

Most IT hiring isn’t about chasing one expensive unicorn. It’s the steady, practical roles that keep the business running — IT support and helpdesk, system, software and application engineers, infrastructure and networks. That’s our bread and butter, and we do it in volume without dropping the bar.

When you do need to go higher — senior and specialist engineers, cybersecurity, cloud, or AI and data roles — we handle those too. And however you want to engage, we can place people permanently, provide contract tech staff on our own payroll (IT manpower outsourcing), or take payroll and compliance off your hands entirely.

Questions

Common questions

Do you place permanent and contract IT staff?

Yes. We handle permanent IT hires as well as contract and project-based tech roles. Permanent placements are success-fee — no hire, no fee — while contract engagements can run with the contractor employed and payrolled by JTE.

Can the IT contractor be on your payroll?+

Yes. Under our contract-staffing model, JTE acts as the employer of record: the contractor sits on JTE’s payroll and we handle CPF, leave, IR8A and insurance. You simply direct the work. It’s ideal for project-based or flexible tech headcount.

Do you handle IT payroll outsourcing?+

Yes. If you already have your tech staff but want the admin off your plate, we can run payroll and compliance for your IT team — CPF, leave, IR8A, payslips and statutory filings — as an outsourced service.

Do you provide IT manpower outsourcing in Singapore?+

Yes. Under our contract model, JTE is the employer of record — we supply and employ the tech headcount (CPF, leave, IR8A and insurance all handled) while you direct the work. That’s IT manpower outsourcing: flexible tech resource for a project or a ramp-up, without adding permanent headcount.

Do you recruit ICT roles?+

Yes — we cover the full ICT (infocomm technology) spectrum, from IT support, infrastructure and networks through software, cloud, cybersecurity, data and ERP. Whether you call it IT, ICT or tech recruitment, it’s the same team.

Can you headhunt senior or specialist IT talent?+

Yes. Alongside high-volume hiring, we search for senior and specialist tech talent — engineering leads, cybersecurity, cloud and DevOps, data and AI — reaching passive candidates who aren’t browsing job boards.

Can you help with Employment Pass or S Pass for foreign tech talent?+

Yes. Alongside the hire, we can manage Employment Pass, S Pass and work-permit applications and ongoing payroll, so onboarding an overseas IT professional stays compliant and simple.

What IT roles do you cover?+

Our core is the practical, high-volume roles Singapore employers hire most — from IT support (L1/L2) and helpdesk through system, software and application engineers, infrastructure and networks. We also go up to senior and specialist engineers, cybersecurity, cloud and DevOps, ERP and business systems, and AI/data roles.

How do you charge for IT recruitment?+

Permanent placements work on a success-fee basis — you only pay when you hire. Contract staffing and payroll outsourcing are quoted based on scope and headcount. We agree the terms clearly with you before any work begins — and see current IT & tech salary ranges in Singapore to benchmark a package.

Are you a licensed recruitment agency?+

Yes. JTE Recruit Pte Ltd holds MOM Employment Agency Licence 14C7215 and has been hiring for Singapore employers since 2014.

We also run engineering recruitment, commercial & support recruitment and healthcare recruitment in Singapore — across permanent and contract staffing hires.
