Why Singapore Employers Hire from Kerala
- English-ready professionals: Kerala has one of India’s highest literacy rates (about 94%, Census 2011), and English is the working language of its nursing, engineering and IT education.
- Healthcare depth: Kerala’s nursing colleges are a major source of nurses for hospitals across Singapore, the Gulf and the UK.
- Tech talent: Technopark (Trivandrum), Infopark (Kochi) and Cyberpark (Kozhikode) give access to experienced software, QA and support engineers.
- Marine and engineering skills: shipbuilding, port and refinery work in Kochi builds experience that transfers to Singapore’s marine and process sectors.
- Overseas-ready: many candidates already have Gulf or overseas experience and understand long postings abroad.
Singapore Nurses Recruitment Agency in Kerala
Healthcare is the biggest Kerala-to-Singapore corridor. As a Singapore nurses recruitment agency in Kerala, we help Singapore hospitals, nursing homes and clinics hire staff nurses, ICU, OT, ER and ward nurses, and allied health professionals. Hospitals searching for Singapore nursing recruitment agencies in Kerala, or a Singapore nurses recruitment agency in India, get candidates pre-screened for Singapore Nursing Board (SNB) eligibility: qualifications, clinical experience, English test scores (IELTS or OET) and good-standing documents.
SNB registration itself is handled between the nurse and the SNB, with your hospital’s support. We make sure only candidates who are likely to qualify reach your shortlist, which saves your team weeks of screening. Hospitals comparing Singapore nursing recruitment agencies in India can also see our nursing recruitment agencies in Kerala page.

Singapore Work Passes: What Employers Need to Know
Only you as the Singapore employer, or a MOM-licensed employment agency you appoint, can apply for a work pass through the Ministry of Manpower (MOM). We shortlist candidates who fit the pass you plan to use:
- Employment Pass (EP): for professionals, managers and executives. The role must meet MOM’s qualifying salary and pass the COMPASS points framework.
- S Pass: for mid-skilled staff such as nurses, technicians and specialist cooks. Qualifying salary, quota and levy apply.
- Work Permit: for semi-skilled roles. Indian nationals are a Non-Traditional Source (NTS) and are eligible only in specific sectors and occupations, such as construction, marine shipyard and process, plus selected services and manufacturing occupations.
- Fair Consideration Framework: for EP and S Pass hiring, you generally need to advertise the role on MyCareersFuture before applying, unless an exemption applies.
Salary thresholds, quotas and levies change regularly, so always check the current rules on mom.gov.sg before you make an offer.
Singapore Government Approved Agencies and Licensing: How We Work
Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower licenses employment agencies that operate in Singapore, and the official list of MOM approved recruitment agencies is the Employment Agency Directory on mom.gov.sg. Alliance does not hold a Singapore MOM employment agency licence, and we don’t file work passes.
What we do is the India side of the search: sourcing, screening, assessments and interview coordination in Kerala. You, or your MOM-licensed agency, then handle the work pass application in Singapore.
On the Indian side, Singapore is not on India’s Emigration Check Required (ECR) country list, so most hires to Singapore don’t need eMigrate emigration clearance. Where it is required, MEA-licensed recruiting agents we work with handle it.
