- Achieve monthly client acquisition, job order and revenue targets.
- Ensure compliance with Singapore employment agency regulations.
Requirements

- Experience in Singapore's recruitment, employment agency or manpower industry is strongly preferred.
- Proven ability to independently acquire employer clients and generate recruitment job orders.
- Strong B2B sales, negotiation and relationship management skills.
- Familiarity with WP, S Pass and EP recruitment processes is an advantage.
- Proactive, target-driven and confident in approaching new corporate clients.
- Able to work independently with minimal supervision.
- Existing employer networks or corporate client relationships will be a strong advantage.
What We Offer
- Competitive basic salary of S$2,800 – S$3,500.
- Attractive commission for successful placements and self-developed employer accounts.
- Performance-based incentives.

What Success Looks Like
We value measurable business results, particularly:
- New employer accounts acquired.
- Confirmed recruitment job orders secured.
- Successful placements and repeat business.
- Recruitment revenue and gross profit generated.
We are looking for someone who can bring in hiring companies, not just candidates.
