Since August 2014, the Ministry of Manpower has required companies that intend to hire EP holders to first advertise the relevant position in the Singapore Workforce Development Agency’s Jobs Bank. However, certain exceptions apply.
The following positions are exempted:
Jobs in firms with fewer than 25 employees
Jobs that pay more than S$12,000 per month
Intra-corporate transferees (i.e. candidates holding senior positions / professionals with advanced levels of expertise)
Short-term positions (less than one month)
