What Cadence HR Consulting Pte Ltd does

Cadence HR Consulting Pte Ltd is a Singapore-based human resources consulting firm founded in 2017 (originally as Cadence Group) that delivers tailored HR solutions to SMEs and larger enterprises across F&B, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, and education sectors. The firm operates through four service pillars: Strategic HR Consultancy (organizational development, performance management, compensation and benefits design, talent acquisition strategy), HR Operations (payroll, HR policy, employee handbook, and HR template provision), Recruitment (local and foreign talent search), and Training Programmes (Leadership Formula, Sales Techniques, ready-to-deliver HR courses, and customized workshops delivered in English and Chinese). According to the company, it has served over 300 organizations cumulatively since founding.

The firm's commercial engine is anchored by its status as a Pre-approved Workforce Development Grant (Job Redesign+) Consultant appointed by Workforce Singapore (WSG), which positions Cadence to help eligible clients access up to 70% government funding capped at S$150,000 per enterprise. Its revenue model is professional services — quote-based project engagements customized to scope and client size, with no standardized pricing publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is sales-led and direct: free consultations, website contact form, phone (+65 6910 7880), WhatsApp (+65 8989 0106), and email. Marketing channels include a company blog (Insights section), LinkedIn, and an email newsletter, with the firm also referencing multiple grant frameworks (PSG-JR, JSIT-R, EDG) in addition to its core WDG(JR+) appointment.

The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent, or subsidiaries. The team of ~11 includes Directors Jerry Li (RMC) and Joyce Zhao (RMC, 20+ years), Chief Consultant Chia Yi Shan (IHRP-SP, 20+ years across luxury, retail, FMCG, F&B, healthcare), Partner Consultant Berenice Choong (WSQ ACLP, IHRP-SP), and Senior Consultants Shawn Chong and Jenny Ong, the former with prior regional HR leadership at Tencent, Mitsubishi Corporation, Sumitomo Chemical Asia, and Nogle Group. The firm has no proprietary technology platform, no apps, no APIs, and no disclosed AI/ML capability; the offering is delivered through consultant-led engagements supported by a Wix-hosted website and a Chinese-language mirror site (cn.cadencehrconsulting.com) that reflects bilingual capability targeting Mandarin-speaking SME owners.
