Ren Ai Group

What Ren Ai Group does

Ren Ai Group (legal entity: Ren Ai Grp Pte Ltd) is a Singapore-headquartered private HR and recruitment consultancy operating across Singapore and Malaysia. The firm is built around three service pillars: recruitment (general placement across permanent, contract, and temporary roles, technology talent search, and executive headhunting), work pass management (Singapore Employment Pass, S Pass, Work Permit, Training Work Permit, and Personalised Employment Pass applications and renewals filed with the Ministry of Manpower), and HR operations (payroll outsourcing covering leave, time attendance, benefits, expenses, CPF statutory calculation and submission, and government paid leave claims, plus HR shared services, employment contract administration, and headcount hosting that places client-sourced candidates on the firm's payroll).

The business serves a horizontal mix of customers spanning 23 industries, including named enterprise and government accounts such as Skechers, the National University of Singapore (NUS), the Singapore Ministry of Education (MOE), Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), and BPD, alongside SMB accounts in food and beverage (Awesome Cafe, Godmama, Qian Xi Group, Person Chef, Pistachio) and design services. The firm markets itself as offering a complete HR solution under one roof for companies seeking to outsource recruitment, payroll, and Singapore work pass compliance, and it sells primarily through its website, SEO-optimized blog content, a Facebook page, and direct consultation channels including a free consultation offering.

Revenue is generated entirely through professional services fees: recruitment placement fees, payroll outsourcing service fees, and service fees on top of pass-through government filing fees for work pass applications and renewals (e.g., S$35 work permit renewal fee, S$75 S Pass application fee, S$100 S Pass issuance fee, S$225 Employment Pass card fee). The company is independently operated, with no disclosed external funding, parent company, or institutional backing. Operating geography is concentrated in Singapore with a regional office in Shah Alam, Malaysia serving the broader Asia Pacific region.
