About Ace Recruiters
Ace Recruiters is a domestic helper placement agency based at Parklane Shopping Mall on Selegie Road, serving households islandwide in Singapore. KakiList has verified their operating details and contact channels, and the business is registered with ACRA. They carry a 4.5/5 rating across 11 Google reviews, though this is a small sample and should be treated as directional only. No MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence is currently listed in their profile — prospective clients should confirm licence status on MOM's online EA directory before proceeding.
When engaging a maid agency, the typical process begins with discussing whether you need a new-hire helper or a transfer helper already in Singapore — the latter is generally faster to place and carries a lower placement fee. You will want to confirm the helper's source country (Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, or Sri Lanka are the main options), monthly salary expectations (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience), and the applicable MOM levy (S$300 standard, or the S$60 concessionary rate if your household includes a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with a disability). Ask what is bundled into the placement fee — FDW insurance, the mandatory Settling-In Programme, the medical examination, and Work Permit application — versus what is billed separately. Clarify the replacement guarantee window and the cost implications of early termination.
To take the next step, contact Ace Recruiters by phone or through the enquiry form, and verify their MOM EA Licence number on the MOM online EA directory before paying any deposit.
Verify the EA Licence number on MOM's online EA directory before paying any deposit, and read the agency contract's replacement, refund, and early-termination clauses.
I came to know of Ace Recruiters back in November 2018 when I landed my first Temp job after my retirement. My temp job was for a period of 3 months. After working for two weeks, I was offered a full time position where I worked for 4 and a half years. Shortly after I resigned, I contacted Ace Recruiters and let them know that I was looking for a job. They set me up for an interview and I have been with this present company coming up close to 4 years. Ace Recruiters is a well run company, punctual in ensuring that salaries are paid on time. Before each month ends, the finance department will send reminder to submit timesheets. And whenever you need to clarify on something, you can rest assured that Jacqueline, who is the person in charge, is just a Whatsapp message away and will attend to your enquiry very promptly. It is a great recruitment company to be with.
Been with Ace recruiters for almost 3 years. They have been very supportive towards my career and have checked on me each time I renewed my contract. Grateful for the support they have provided me thus far
ACE Recruiters is very efficient in answering my queries. I have been interacting with Jackie (my consultant) for the past 1 yr plus. Jackie is a very experienced recruiter and always gives concrete advice whenever I need it. Thank you, ACE Recruiters.
Zero support when my contract was terminated early. Completely left on my own by Ace Recruiters. Months later, I still get emails asking me to submit schedules even though I no longer work there. Very unprofessional.
Easy available. User Friendly. Ace Recruiters administration gave me a trusted, can be relied upon mental position. Never experience any issues queried were not answered. Payments were timely and accurate after we fill up our time sheet correctly. Staff friendly and encouraging. Have recommended friend and they also gave me similar thumb's up feedback.

Placement fees for a new-hire helper typically run S$1,500–3,500 at Singapore agencies; transfer helpers (already in Singapore on a valid Work Permit) usually cost less, in the S$500–1,500 range. On top of the placement fee, you will pay the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the MOM monthly levy — S$300 at the standard rate, or the concessionary S$60 if your household has a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with a disability. Ask Ace Recruiters to confirm exactly what is included in their package — mandatory FDW insurance (roughly S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application fees can be bundled or billed separately depending on the agency.

Every legitimate placement agency in Singapore must hold an MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence — verifiable by name or licence number on MOM's online EA directory. This licence number should appear on the agency's contracts and invoices. No MOM EA Licence is currently listed in Ace Recruiters' KakiList profile, so verifying their licence status directly on the MOM directory is an important step before paying any deposit. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; higher grades reflect stronger compliance records and complaint-handling practices. Hiring through an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if a placement breaks down, and can void your FDW insurance. Confirm the licence before proceeding.
The standard replacement window at Singapore agencies is typically six months from the helper's arrival date. Within that window, if the placement does not work out due to a documented mismatch — rather than a change of mind — the agency arranges a replacement at little or no additional cost. The number of replacements included and what voids the guarantee varies by agency, so ask for these terms in writing before signing. Also clarify the early-termination process if the placement breaks down outside the guarantee window. The repatriation flight, any refund of unused levy, and the Work Permit cancellation paperwork are costs the household typically carries. Confirm these obligations upfront with Ace Recruiters so there are no surprises.
If Ace Recruiters isn't the right fit, these are other maid agencies providers on KakiList worth shortlisting. All are independently listed — no affiliate fees, no "featured" sponsorships.
