Free Guide: Hiring Smarter for SMEs in 2025/26
Discover how Singapore SMEs are accessing experienced regional talent without setting up entities or overspending.
What’s Inside the Guide?
This guide is tailored for founders, lean teams, and SMEs in Singapore who want to grow smarter—without expanding their overhead.
Better Hiring Options
Explore 4 hiring methods SMEs use—and why some come with hidden compliance and cost risks.
Smarter Budgeting
Compare real monthly costs between SG hires and MY hires via EOR—same experience, half the spend.
Simplified Process
See how the EOR model works step-by-step: from offer to onboarding to payroll.
Talent That Stays
Why professionals in Malaysia prefer roles with EPF/SOCSO—and why that benefits you.
Fully Compliant Growth
Learn how to legally hire without entity setup, while staying compliant with local laws.
Every Hire Counts When You’re Small
Hiring just one team member can significantly impact your momentum—positively or negatively. For SMEs with lean teams, every headcount must be both strategic and cost-effective.
In Singapore, experienced talent typically costs SGD 4,000/month or more, which makes scaling tough for businesses with tight margins. But what if you could tap into the same level of expertise—at nearly half the cost?
Through the Employer of Record (EOR) model, small businesses like yours can legally hire Malaysian professionals with full EPF/SOCSO coverage, without setting up a Malaysian entity or worrying about compliance.
It’s the smarter, leaner way to grow—used by SMEs who want to stay focused on results, not red tape.
