Hiring in Singapore requires compliance with overlapping frameworks — MOM Work Pass regulations and the Fair Consideration Framework, the Personal Data Protection Act 2018, CPF contribution obligations, and sector-specific rules from MAS for financial services, MOH for healthcare, CAAS for aviation, and MOE for education. Our platform is built to satisfy all of these requirements while protecting candidate rights under PDPA and maintaining a complete audit trail for every verification conducted.
Written consent, purpose notification, secure storage, and data retention limits for every background check conducted.

Fully CompliantOver 40% of Singapore's workforce comprises foreign talent from more than 180 countries, making Singapore one of the world's most internationally diverse labour markets. Hiring this talent pool requires more than a standard background check — it demands COMPASS-compliant EP verification, S-Pass quota management, Work Permit source country checks, SingPass digital identity, and multilingual credential verification covering candidates from India, China, Malaysia, Philippines, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Indonesia. Since the COMPASS framework took effect in September 2023, every new EP application must meet a minimum of 40 points across salary, qualifications, diversity, and local employment support criteria.

COMPASS (Complementarity Assessment Framework) was introduced by MOM in September 2023 and applies to all new Employment Pass applications. Candidates must score a minimum of 40 points across five criteria: salary benchmarked against peers in the same sector and occupation (C1), qualifications assessed against the Singapore Qualifications Framework (C2), diversity of the company's local PMET workforce (C3), support for skills development through SkillsFuture (C4), and company track record on local employment (C5). Our COMPASS verification covers all five criteria to give your EP applications the strongest possible compliance profile.
Does the candidate earn at or above the 50th percentile for their occupation and sector? Earning above the 75th percentile gives bonus points.
Does the candidate hold a degree or higher qualification recognised by MOM? Top-tier university graduates receive bonus points.
Does hiring this candidate improve your company's local PMET nationality diversity? High concentration of a single nationality reduces points.
Has your company supported local employee skills development? Active SkillsFuture participation earns bonus points.
Does your company have a strong track record of employing Singaporean PMETs? Companies on the FCF watchlist score zero on this criterion.
Candidates must score at least 40 points to qualify. Our verification covers all five criteria to maximise your EP application success rate.
