Fair Consideration Framework (FCF)

All employers in Singapore are expected to adhere to the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices.

FCF job advertising requirement

To promote fair employment practices and improve labour market transparency, employers submitting Employment Pass or S Pass applications must first advertise on MyCareersFuture and fairly consider all candidates. Find out more about the FCF job advertising requirements for Employment Pass and S Pass.

To access a larger pool of candidates, employers in Singapore are strongly encouraged to advertise their job vacancies on MyCareersFuture, even if those jobs are eligible for advertising exemption.

Whichever recruitment channel used, all employers must practice fair hiring.

For instance, some employers go through the motion of advertising on MyCareersFuture after pre-selecting a foreigner, and do not review the applicants from MyCareersFuture. Other employers post discriminatory job advertisements. These practices breach the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices, and employers that engage in these practices may be debarred from hiring foreign employees.

Employment agencies are equally expected to uphold the Tripartite Guidelines on Fair Employment Practices and the FCF when they undertake work for their clients.
