You direct the day-to-day work; we handle the legal employment relationship, monthly payroll, statutory filings and ongoing compliance.

Direct Hire / Executive Search

Do I need to set up a local entity to hire through Corestream?
No — under our Search & EOR model, Corestream is the legal employer of record, so you can hire in Singapore or Malaysia without incorporating locally first.
How fast can you fill a role?
Timelines depend on the role and market, but our sourcing and onboarding process is built to move quickly once a role is scoped — we’ll give you a realistic timeline during the discovery call.
Can I convert an EOR hire to my own payroll later?
Yes — if you decide to set up a local entity and bring an EOR hire onto your own payroll, we support the transition; terms are agreed in advance as part of the engagement.
What happens if a placement doesn’t work out?
Every Search & EOR and Direct Hire placement is backed by our pro-rated replacement guarantee. If a placement doesn’t work out within the guarantee period, we go back to sourcing at no additional placement fee.
How are fees structured across the models?
Search & EOR is billed monthly per headcount. Direct Hire is a one-time fee, due on successful hire. HR Advisory is priced per project or on retainer, agreed upfront. Whichever model you choose, you’ll get an itemized proposal with fees and timeline before we start.
What markets do you cover?
Singapore and Malaysia today, with the flexibility to support cross-border hiring as your business grows.
