Unlicensed Employment Agency: Avoid at all costs

In finding a job in Singapore through employment agencies, we advise job seekers to engage and work only with Licensed Employment Agency.

According to Employment Agencies Act of Singapore, it is an offence for a person or company to engage an unlicensed employment agency, and such offence carries maximum fine of $5,000¹

Prior to engage the service of employment agency, it is advised to perform some due dilligence to check and verify that the employment agency holds a valid license. Please go to Ministry of Manpower webpage http://services.mom.gov.sg/eadirectory/ for verification.

Member of the public, who has any information on unlicensed employment agency activities, should report to Ministry of Manpower at mom_fmmd@mom.gov.sg or call 6438 5122.
