Can RMI handle MOM-compliant screening after hiring?

Assistance by RMI does not stop at the point when verification reports are provided. We remain committed to helping employers stay in compliance with MOM and other regulatory provisions by ensuring that we conduct background checks on time and in accordance with current standards and requirements. This continuous confidence allows organisations to be assured that they are fully compliant with their hiring patterns as the regulations change.

RMI stands out as one of the few Singapore-headquartered screening agencies endorsed by Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower. We take pride in being one of the legacy providers that have directly supported the Ministry over the years. This means that any educational verification we conduct, whether it’s for prospective hires or current employees, will encounter fewer rejections thanks to the high quality and accuracy of our reports.

In other words, RMI can retrofit missing checks and give your HR team peace of mind that every foreign hire meets MOM’s rules, without the usual headaches.

The following outlines the essential aspects of RMIs for ensuring adherence to Ministry of Manpower regulations following the recruitment process:

1. Experienced and trusted provider: RMI is one of the longest-standing background screening providers in Singapore, distinguishing itself from many other firms in the country, with a speciality in the genuine verification of foreign workers. We have a reputation for producing accurate and reliable reports, which significantly reduces the risk of rejection. Employers eschew repetitive applications, time wasted, and the associated costs of low-quality verification by selecting RMI.
2. Dedicated, people-first service: HR professionals founded RMI, so we understand that compliance can often feel impersonal and confusing. Throughout the hiring and verification process, our team treats both candidates and clients with care, making what could be a stressful requirement into a smooth and supportive experience.  Each case is managed by a single local specialist who guides the employee through authorisations and documentation, so your HR staff aren’t chasing paperwork. Unlike most providers who focus solely on corporate clients, RMI also caters to individual professionals who want to complete their own checks, further proof of our People-First approach and commitment to making the process smooth for everyone. When you need support, you’ll speak directly with real people via call or chat, not the automated call routing and AI chatbots that many screening providers use.
3. Comprehensive global screening: RMI goes beyond education checks. As part of the hiring and compliance process, we verify work history, professional licenses, financial health, court records, criminal checks, media footprints, directorships, and more. Our extensive global network, from university registrars to business registries, allows us to confirm overseas qualifications and background details quickly. With RMI, you have one trusted partner who can handle the full spectrum of compliance checks, not just MOM-related requirements.
4. Fast turnaround and updates: We know time is critical when hiring. Our streamlined process typically completes checks in 7 – 15 business days. We proactively chase institutions and use electronic authorisation whenever possible to speed up the process. Clients consistently praise our efficiency and responsiveness. One benefit of RMI is that the background checks will be conducted with the utmost efficiency, with regular updates that keep you fully informed at all times, and there are no unwarranted delays.
5. Regulatory compliance expertise: MOM is only one part of the compliance landscape. RMI also has deep experience with other Singapore regulators. For example, we co-developed a background screening guide for the financial sector together with MAS and the reputable law firm Withers KhattarWong. If your hires are subject to MAS “Fit and Proper” requirements or oversight from other agencies—such as healthcare or education regulators, our team is already familiar with those frameworks. This expertise allows RMI to manage cross-agency compliance requirements seamlessly, so you don’t need to coordinate with multiple vendors.
6. One-stop compliance support: HR teams can rest easy with the satisfaction that one of the most crucial compliance items, background verification, is being performed effectively and efficiently. We make sure reports are up to the standard of MOM, and there is little chance of rejection or delay. This allows your HR staff to focus on onboarding and managing employees, while RMI takes care of the verification process with the precision and expertise required.

We recognise that verification may seem complicated when it comes to ensuring that your processes comply with MOM requirements, and thus getting it right at the outset is critical. RMI ensures that candidate credentials are thoroughly and accurately verified, delivering reports that fully align with MOM standards. This way, employers reduce the risk of rejection and can move forward with confidence in their hiring decisions

No matter the hiring scenario, RMI’s team delivers fast and accurate background verification, supported by clear communication at every stage. Our goal is to give employers confidence that checks are completed correctly and on time, ensuring compliance without unnecessary delays.

We also address common pain points: you won’t have to wrestle with unfamiliar forms or chase institutions yourself.

Finally, for more details on the MOM-approved verification workflow, see RMI’s MOM verification page, which walks through our process from start to finish. And if any of your hires are in finance or other regulated industries, our MAS background screening resources explain how RMI meets those additional requirements. At the end of the day, RMI takes the compliance burden off your shoulders – so you can focus on building your team, not bureaucratic checklists.
