First of all, what you said above makes sense. If you are good enough and your English is good, you can search for jobs and submit your resume through local job search websites in Singapore, such as JobStreet, or with relatives and friends. Friends in Singapore who know the recruitment needs of their own companies can help you recommend them, so that you can save a lot of agency fees. Some friends will also think of applying for a tourist visa and use the tourist visa to recruit themselves during their stay in Singapore. There are many successful cases when looking for a job. The risk you take is that if you cannot find a suitable job while the tourist visa is valid, you will still have to go back to an agency and waste your travel expenses. However, if you think of it as a trip, learn about the local climate in advance. Customs and environment are not bad either.

That’s all the nonsense. In fact, the vast majority of friends who want to find a job in Singapore still have to find an agency to achieve their goals. I won’t go into details here for the reasons. There are many great experts on the Internet. After explaining in detail, it is simply that Singaporean employers prefer to recruit foreign employees through agencies, etc. What I want to say here is what everyone is concerned about, if you are looking for a reliable agency.

Many friends are very good at calculations and hope to find a local agency in Singapore directly, because domestic agencies cooperate with local agencies in Singapore to find jobs (or orders) for clients. If they can find a agency directly, A reputable local intermediary is equivalent to omitting the intermediary link of a Chinese intermediary. It is equivalent to going to the wholesale market to shop directly, leaving costs ranging from a few thousand to tens of thousands (there is no way, domestic intermediaries also have to survive, and in many areas Because there is a strong demand for overseas labor services, the fees are indeed unreasonable and can even be said to be unreasonable). If you are really lucky, this is of course everyone's preferred method, but is it really that easy? I have been in this industry for many years and tell you that it is not necessarily the case. First of all, because finding a job not only involves information and interview arrangements, visa applications, fees and other issues, the most critical thing is the mutual trust between the job seeker and the agency. The vast majority of local agencies in Singapore need to pay a deposit of SGD 500-1,000 when registering. Because the agency salesmen are struggling under the scorching sun, the orders (positions) that come one after another are probably due to the breach of trust of the Chinese job seekers (no Attend the interview as agreed) and lose it, and offend the employer who is the bread and butter of the parents. Secondly, even if you pay the deposit and successfully find a job, because the visa (especially sp, ep) does not mean that you can apply for it, there are also refusals. Maybe, in case of rejection, those with better luck can finally get approved through appeal, but in most cases, rejection means that the job is closed to you. At this time, there is a risk. A good agency will refund the deposit readily, but some Because it is so easy for bad intermediaries to catch a client, they will try their best to persuade you to apply for other jobs. And as we all know, if your SP or EP application has just been rejected, there is a high chance that you will be rejected if you apply again. At this time, the intermediary will often recommend you to go to WP, and the benefits will be better. It may also be very different from your original expectation. If you don't accept it, the deposit will be delayed forever. I believe you won't buy a plane ticket for several thousand yuan and go to Singapore to ask them for it. If you want it, you don't have to go there. , and because there are so many intermediaries in Singapore, there are nearly 2,000 registered with the Ministry of Manpower alone. Many of them have a table and two chairs, a boss and a salesperson and a clerk (is the threshold very low? :)), this is still a regular army, There are also many handbag companies that use the local agency brand of Singapore (mostly from Malaysia or Lingnan (no geographical attack, just stating the reality, haha)). The Chinese are working tirelessly to do karate, which is to take orders from regular agencies and give them to job seekers. Apply for approval, then pay the agency fee and disappear. When the agency discovers that the workers have entered the country but cannot receive the money, they have no choice but to send the workers back to the country. The worst thing is for Chinese job seekers, and there are also things like fake positions , falsely report benefits, and collude with employers to carry out recruitment and dismissal schemes to collect money, I will not list them one by one. I believe you have seen many on the Internet. If you take a step back, even if you meet a reliable agency, you are not deceived. Human behavior, but the orders each agency can get are quite limited based on its strength. Some focus on beauty, hair and manicure, some focus on catering, cleaning, and some focus on factories, etc., so you can choose positions within the same agency. In fact, it is quite limited. At this time, the advantages of choosing a Chinese agency are highlighted. In order to expand business, Chinese agencies usually cooperate with many Singapore agencies. In this way, the positions will be more abundant and there will be more choices. At the same time, in case of problems, it is difficult to find a job. The first thing applicants look for is domestic intermediaries. Therefore, domestic intermediaries will carefully select partners, which is equivalent to avoiding a layer of risks for job seekers. In addition, in the event of a dispute, as an individual job seeker, because he is in a foreign country, If you do not understand local laws and regulations (including hidden rules) and cannot properly protect your own rights and interests, domestic intermediaries as professionals can provide customers with necessary assistance at this time. For example, it is just like retail customers who find product quality problems and complain. Well, whether it is rights protection, the effect is definitely not as good as that of bulk customers (dealers), because Singapore intermediaries usually do not affect cooperation with domestic intermediaries for a single case, that is, they will not lose big for small things, so find domestic intermediaries. , although it costs more money, it is equivalent to an extra guarantee. Of course, the above mentioned must be based on the premise that the domestic intermediary you find is reliable. Let’s talk about how to choose a domestic intermediary. It is actually simple. Oh, it's terrible. The organization codes of any qualifications, licenses, etc. are all weak. Nowadays, people are almost cloned. With the affiliation, Li Gui and even the powerful PS technology, ordinary job seekers really have no way to start. In fact, as long as they have more patience. , carefully follow the companies you want to know about. Now that the Internet is so developed, it is absolutely impossible for scammers or irresponsible companies to disappear without changing their appearance or without a lot of negative news for more than half a year. You know, if you want to build a good reputation and gain popularity, It may take a lot of investment in advertising and a large number of successful cases, and it will take several years to accumulate, but a bad reputation can be known to the world with just a few posts from people who have been deceived. Isn't it very simple? After all, going abroad is a big deal. You must be careful when choosing an intermediary, and don’t just focus on the price (of course it must be within a reasonable range, otherwise you will be taken advantage of) and it usually lasts 2 years. If you choose an irresponsible intermediary, you will lose a lot of money. , time is the most precious wealth, even if part of the economic losses can be recovered in the end, a lot of time is wasted! , so here I wish everyone can find a good intermediary and go smoothly to new development!
