Manpower Outsourcing
Manpower outsourcing in Singapore
A full workforce without the overhead. We recruit, manage and pay your team while you focus on running and growing the business.
A full workforce without the overhead. We recruit, manage and pay your team while you focus on running and growing the business.
Running a workforce is a job in itself — recruiting, payroll, CPF, leave, claims, work passes, the daily supervision and people admin. On a busy warehouse, operations or logistics floor, that machinery can quietly become a bigger job than the work it’s meant to support. Manpower outsourcing hands the whole of it to us.
Here’s what it actually means: JTE recruits the people, puts them on our payroll as their legal employer, and manages the team on your behalf — including on-the-ground supervision. You tell us the output you need and the standards to hit; we deliver the headcount and keep it running. You get the work done and a team that shows up, without carrying the employment, the statutory obligations or the HR overhead that normally comes with it.
It’s a different shape of deal from simply hiring more people. Instead of building a function — an HR team, a payroll process, a supervisor, a compliance burden — you buy a managed function that already exists. That’s why outsourcing tends to fit operations, warehousing, non-core support and any work where volume moves up and down through the year: you scale capacity with demand rather than locking in fixed overhead you may not always need.
We recruit, employ and onboard the workers you need.
The team sits on our payroll — CPF, leave, claims and IR8A on us.
On-site supervision and management, not just bodies on the floor.
Full compliance with MOM and Singapore employment rules.
Scale headcount up or down as your volume changes.
One point of contact, one quoted monthly invoice.
Outsourcing suits operational and non-core work — the roles where you need reliable, managed capacity rather than a permanent headcount you have to build a function around.
Pickers, packers, forklift and store operators, dispatch and inbound teams — the hands that keep a warehouse or distribution centre moving through peaks and troughs, staffed and supervised by us.
Line operators, assembly, packing and general operations crews on the plant floor — a managed team that flexes with your production schedule instead of sitting on your books when volume dips.
Cleaning, facilities, mailroom, on-site support and other non-core functions — important work that keeps the business running but doesn’t need to live inside your own HR machinery.
Where demand swings with the season, a promotion or a contract, we hold a managed pool you can dial up and down — so you carry the capacity you need this month, not the overhead of your busiest month all year round.

From a single managed function to a whole floor — we’ll size the team to the work.
These three look similar from the outside but solve different problems. Here’s a straight read on where each fits — and we’ll tell you honestly which suits your situation.
We employ and manage the whole team — including on-site supervision. You buy an output and a managed function; we own the day-to-day. Best for operations, warehouse and non-core work where you want the result without running the people.
That’s this page — a fully managed, quoted service.
We place individual workers with JTE as employer of record — CPF, leave, IR8A and insurance handled — but you direct and supervise them day to day. Best for a project, a peak season or covering a leave gap.

A managed service, set up properly. Here’s how an outsourced team stands up and stays running with JTE.
We sit down with you to map the function, the roles and headcount, the hours and shifts, the output and standards, and how much supervision the work needs. This is where we quote — a clear managed-service rate against your actual requirements, not a guess.
We source, vet and onboard the team, and put them on our payroll as their legal employer — handling contracts, CPF, work passes where relevant and insurance. You get a ready team without adding anyone to your own headcount.
The team gets to work on your floor, managed to the standards we agreed. Depending on the setup that includes an on-site supervisor or team lead from us, so day-to-day people management sits with JTE rather than landing on your managers.
We run payroll, leave, claims and compliance every month, cover absences, and scale the team up or down as your volume moves — all under one point of contact and one invoice, so the function keeps humming while you watch the output, not the admin.
Manpower outsourcing is quoted, not a success fee. Because every setup differs — headcount, shift pattern, supervision, statutory costs — we scope your requirement and give you a managed-service rate, usually a single monthly invoice that folds in wages, statutory contributions, management and compliance. Tell us the work and we’ll quote it.
Recruiting, employment, supervision, payroll and compliance under a single point of contact.
As the legal employer we own CPF, leave, work passes and MOM rules — so you’re never exposed.
Grow or shrink the team with your volume, without building a whole HR function to carry it.
JTE recruits, employs and manages a team on your behalf. The workers sit on our payroll and under our supervision, and you receive the output and the headcount you need — without carrying the employment, payroll and HR admin yourself. It’s most common on warehouse, operations and logistics floors and for non-core functions.
With contract staffing we place individual workers as your employer of record, but you still direct and supervise them day to day. Outsourcing goes a step further — we employ and manage the whole team, including on-site supervision, so you’re buying a managed function and an outcome rather than just headcount.
JTE does. The team sits on our payroll and we are the legal employer — under our MOM EA licence 14C7215 we handle CPF, leave, claims, work passes where needed, insurance and compliance throughout. You get the people and the output without the employment liabilities.
Typically operational and non-core work — warehouse and logistics floors, production and packing lines, facilities and support, and other repeatable operations. If a function is central to your business, permanent hiring usually fits better, and we’ll tell you so.
It’s quoted, not a success fee. We scope the roles, headcount, hours and supervision you need and give you a clear managed-service rate — usually one monthly invoice covering wages, statutory costs, management and compliance. Get in touch for a quote.
We do, in full. As the legal employer JTE manages CPF, leave, claims, IR8A, work passes where relevant, insurance and MOM compliance for the outsourced team — see payroll & work pass — so you’re never exposed to the statutory obligations.
We outsource teams across engineering, logistics and supply chain, manufacturing, healthcare, and the commercial, support and IT functions that keep those operations running — with particular strength on warehouse, operations and logistics floors.
