6 Best Temp Staffing Agencies in Singapore (2026)

Peak seasons, staff on long leave and one-off events are the usual reasons Singapore businesses look for temporary or part-time help. The agencies below publish temporary, contract or flexible staffing on their own websites, so you can compare how each describes its service before you call. Some are global staffing brands, others are regional firms, and one specialises in Japanese-linked HR and event staffing. Descriptions are drawn from each company's site and are not endorsements. Use the list to shortlist two or three, send each the same brief, and compare how clearly they answer on timing, headcount, sector coverage and how they handle payroll.

Manpower Singapore is part of ManpowerGroup, and its employer pages list temporary and contract staffing among its workforce solutions. The page describes temporary hiring as a way to cover short-term gaps such as seasonal demand, staff absences and peak workloads like product launches, while contract hiring is described as project-based work with a defined scope. It names sectors including logistics, warehousing, FMCG, IT and admin, and says it handles employment administration such as contracts and payroll for the workers it places. Employers are invited to begin with a no-obligation conversation through its contact page. This is a large, established name worth shortlisting when the headcount you need is sizeable, though the site does not describe part-time placement specifically, so ask about it directly.

Recruit Express presents itself as a staffing firm for permanent, temporary and contract hires, and its employer page offers a job-description form where you choose the job type before a consultant follows up. Its site organises the business into divisions, among them healthcare and life sciences, international industrial recruitment for roles in food and beverage, logistics and manufacturing, banking and finance, infocomms and general recruitment. Its jobs board has shown short temporary and part-time listings, such as service-desk and care-assistant roles in the healthcare and hospitality fields. The site also mentions payroll outsourcing and a headcount hosting option. It suits employers wanting flexible cover in healthcare, service or industrial roles; confirm part-time availability when you enquire.

PERSOL Singapore says on its site that it offers flexible staffing, including temporary and contract hiring, alongside permanent recruitment, executive search and HR advisory. Its FAQ states that it supports permanent, contract, temporary and project-based positions, and it lists sector teams such as banking and financial services, engineering and technical, retail, hospitality and tourism, healthcare and pharmaceutical, and information technology. Employers can use a request-talent page on the site to describe what they need, after which the firm says it will take care of the rest. A general phone line is also published. It is a reasonable option for businesses that want temporary cover from an agency that also covers other hiring types, with part-time arrangements best confirmed by asking.

Pasona Singapore is the local arm of a Japanese HR group, and its employer menu includes a dedicated temporary staffing page as well as interpreter and event staffing. That page describes full-time, part-time and one-time temporary arrangements, project-based specialists, cover for long leave such as maternity leave, and one-day interpreters or event promoters. It also sets out engagement lengths ranging from a single day through short terms of under three months to longer arrangements, with extensions possible. Enquiries go through an Inquire Now button that leads to its contact form. Pasona also lists payroll outsourcing, virtual HR support and translation services. Businesses with Japanese-language needs, or those wanting event staff and interpreters for a single day, may find it a useful fit.

Adecco Singapore's site presents three service lines: permanent recruitment, outsourcing, and what it calls Flexible Placement, which it describes as meeting short-term or project-based needs. It says its expertise spans diverse sectors without naming them, so you will need to ask which industries its flexible team covers. Employers start from a Find Talent button that leads to its contact page, and the site carries an Adecco Singapore Salary Guide. The company is a global staffing brand, and it already appears on LocalRank's broader list of recruitment agencies, so this entry looks only at its temporary angle. Contact it when you want a large agency's help with short-term cover, and ask how it handles part-time requests and how long it takes to match someone.

Talentvis describes itself as an HR solutions and recruitment company with offices across Asia Pacific, with a main Singapore office on Orchard Road and a branch in Jurong East, according to its contact page. Its jobs board can be filtered by permanent, part-time, contract and temporary roles, which shows the kinds of engagements it places, and its enquiry form lets employers choose subjects such as temp, contract, payroll or outsourcing. A phone line is published, and enquiries otherwise go through its contact form. It is a smaller regional option for employers who want flexible cover from a firm that also handles payroll, though you should ask what temp and part-time pools it can draw on for your sector.
