Hanover Search

Hanover Global Services, part of Hanover, offers Employer of Record (EOR) and managed payroll services in Singapore. Acting as the local employment partner, it legally employs staff on a client's behalf so businesses can hire employees, contractors and project-based workers without registering their own Singapore company.

Its Singapore service covers employment contracts compliant with local labour law, monthly payroll processing, CPF administration, tax withholding and reporting, benefits administration, onboarding and offboarding, HR support and ongoing compliance management. The team also coordinates immigration and work pass matters, including Employment Pass and S Pass applications and Work Permit support.

Rather than a software-only platform, the company takes a human-led approach, giving clients a single point of contact for onboarding, payroll, compliance and workforce management, with pricing it describes as clear and free of platform fees.

Clients range from companies hiring a single remote employee in Singapore to those building regional APAC teams or expanding into Southeast Asia. The firm regularly supports multi-country APAC expansions, technology and AI companies, renewable energy projects, engineering and infrastructure businesses, start-ups and scale-ups, professional services firms and regional headquarters set-ups.
