Get world-class talent with the best HR platforms for hiring international employees in Singapore!
If you spot a few silver strands in my hair despite my somewhat young age, just know they were earned the hard way. You see, I once worked in HR…for a firm that hired internationally without a proper platform.
How tricky was it? Well, I had to manage international labour laws, visa regulations, onboarding processes, multi-currency payments, and many other headaches.
Lucky for you, you’ll only have to imagine that. Our team has researched and shortlisted the top HR platforms for businesses in Singapore that are aiming to grow across borders: the results are all down there.
How much do HR platforms cost in Singapore per month?
In Singapore, the monthly cost of HR platforms differs per plan, with personal plans costing $5 to $10, business plans sitting between $15 and $25, and enterprise plans hitting the $30 to $50 range, all prices charged per employee.
1. Remote
From my experience, Remote’s Recruit platform can streamline gruelling HR tasks such as interviews and screening summaries. It’s AI-powered, which means onboarding processes are automated, reducing time and risks while enhancing matching quality.
You’ll hardly run out of qualified talent either, with Remote’s database having over 800 million pre-vetted profiles across more than 55 countries.
Real-time insights are also available. This includes technical details such as market salary figures or legal requirements, which can be accessed straight away.
Furthermore, the outreach automated by the platform is personalised. As a result, your role is mostly to review or edit rather than to write and send generic messages to every employee.
The platform isn’t the cheapest, though. Companies usually pay $199 a month to use it.
On the plus side, you can cancel anytime, a demo is available, and most clients find the payment setup transparent.
The main drawback is that you need an account first before accessing their 24/7 customer support.
My onboarding process was smooth, their platform is intuitive, and support was consistently helpful and responsive.
Remote.com has been a game-changer for our remote team. My onboarding process was smooth, their platform is intuitive, and support was consistently helpful and responsive. I felt confident knowing everything—from compliance to payroll—was handled correctly and transparently. Highly recommend for any company managing global teams! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I Like How Their System Works
Everyone at Remote shows great kindness and are truly fast in responding and finding ways to risolve any issues. I like how their system works, it makes you feel that your issues has actually been assigned and someone will get back to you super fast.

2. Skuad Pte. Ltd.
Address: 68 Circular Rd, Unit 02-01
Operating Hours: Daily – 9 am to 7 pm
Skuad taps into talent from across 160-plus countries, making it one of the biggest here in terms of reach.
Platform-wise, they offer multiple, each with a different set of perks. That includes payroll (with payment support in 70-plus currencies), onboarding, compliance, contractor management, and even country-specific benefits.
That said, their Employer of Record (EOR) platform is the most convenient for us, with hiring, onboarding, and management all built in. It can even help in tailoring competitive benefits or shipping equipment, mainly monitors and laptops.
As per the clients we talked to, it also normally wraps up onboarding processes in less than a week. That’s most likely why companies such as NinjaVan and OpenSolar use it.
Unfortunately, the customer support is only available 24/5.
The plan also kicks off at $199. There are discounts to lessen the blow, but obtaining them often requires multiple onboarding first.
Everything Runs Smoothly
My experience with the platform has been very positive. They’ve been efficient and responsive, ensuring that everything runs smoothly between me and the company I work with.

3. Horizons
Address: 71 Robinson Rd, #13-153
Contact Details: +65 3105 1170
Operating Hours: Daily – 8 am to 7:30 pm
It’s not by chance that major names like IBM and Porsche go with Horizons. To start, their network spans over 180 countries and 100 currencies.
Reports also claim that their EOR platform finishes onboarding within 24 hours. That means businesses can start operations almost right away.
The access to localised, in-house teams is another feature that caught our eye. This is a boon for companies that prefer tax or employment obligations to be managed by a team operating within the target country.
However, the platform is more expensive than the first two, going for $299 a month.
And just like the previous entry, Horizons’ customer support only runs 24/5.
Even so, the number of tasks it streamlines makes it worth considering. That’s especially true if you want your platform to have legal/payroll specialists, complimentary expense reimbursements, and absence/leave management.
Up until this day, all transactions, including sending payslip, are being sent in a timely manner
Starting from the very first day I joined the company, Horizons assisted with the onboarding and all the stuff I need to finish before the training start. They responded to my concerns via email so fast and provided the answer I am looking for. Up until this day, all transactions including sending payslip are being sent in a timely manner. Good Job Horizons Team. Keep it up!

Makes Us More Motivated
Ever since I joined our company, I was accompanied by horizons really well. From onboarding and now every payslip. They always send it to us in advance which makes us more motivated haha. The support team always acknowledges even the small details we informed them makes it easier to communicate! Kudos to the team!

4. Atlas
Address: 1 N Franklin St # 2600, Chicago
Contact Details: +65 6391 0921
Operating Hours: Mon to Fri – 9 am to 5 pm
Atlas’ Human Experience Management (HXM) is one of the most well-rounded platforms here. It facilitates talent across more than 160 countries, manages compliance with labour laws, optimises cross-border payroll needs, and enables seamless workforce tracking.
Clients we interviewed also praised the platform’s intuitive and customisable templates. The visa sponsorship perk, often for global mobility and relocation, was positively mentioned as well.
The platform isn’t the quickest when it comes to onboarding, though, with an average speed of about 2 weeks. That’s not a crawl, but we’ve listed faster platforms.
In addition, we’ve heard that customer service can be slow at times and that the platform can be tricky to get a hang of at first.
The advantage is that it has ‘employee self-service’ features that go beyond hiring solutions. For instance, employees can manage their own details through the comprehensive portal, which can lessen admin workload.
Made My Working Situation a Lot Simpler
I’m new to Atlas, but so far my experience has been great. The team are very responsive and happy to connect on calls as well as email. The App is great and very easy to use and keeps all docs and key info in one place. It’s made my working situation a lot more simple being with Atlas.

The Process Seems Smooth
The portal has everything I, as an employee, need to access. It only takes a few times to get a hold of where to find what information and how to fill information. Rest of the process seems smooth.

5. peopleHum
Address: 1074, 24th Main Rd, 1st Sector, HSR Layout, Bengaluru, Karnataka 560102, India
Contact Details: +91 97691 44720
Operating Hours: Daily – 24 hours
For those looking for a platform that can handle an employee’s full cycle, peopleHum’s AI-driven software is worth checking out. It automates numerous solutions in one unified software, mainly global recruitment, onboarding, payroll, and employee engagement.
What’s cool is that you can schedule a free demo before fully jumping in. Templates are also customisable, and you can analyse advanced analytics to track the performance of every employee.
Moreover, the 24/7 customer support has received props from our interviewees, with most claiming that the reps are indeed available when you need them.
Having said that, some clients have described the platform’s learning curve as particularly steep, which is rough if you’re in a hurry.
Reports of glitches had also been raised before, though to be fair, their team patched those up fast.
If you’re bothered by that, their $2-per-employee cost might change your mind. Plus, they have a CODiE Award in 2019 for that extra cred.
Made Implementation Super Easy
Best HRMS software!
The best part about their hr software is that it’s all under one roof. We don’t have to use multiple applications anymore. From ensuring our new hires have a great onboarding experience to managing leaves we’ve been able to do pretty much everything on peopleHum. But the highlight is their performance module. Tracking performance manually is a pain is quite an understatement. But we’re happy that we’re able to do so much more with our performance reviews on peopleHum. Their customer support team have been amazing. Always available and ready to help and they made implementation super easy!
