Freelance Radar vs JobStreet: which is better for contract jobs?

JobStreet and Freelance Radar both help you find work, but they do not cover the same roles. Here is an honest comparison for contractors in Singapore.

What is JobStreet?

JobStreet is one of the best known job boards in Singapore and South East Asia, where employers and recruitment agencies post job ads across every industry, including contract and temporary roles.

What JobStreet does well

  • A large volume of Singapore job ads in one place
  • A filter for contract and temporary work
  • Used by many Singapore employers and recruitment agencies

Where JobStreet falls short for contractors

  • Only covers roles that someone paid to post as a formal job ad
  • The same contract often appears several times through different agencies
  • Applying usually goes through a form, not a direct conversation with the person hiring

How Freelance Radar is different

Freelance Radar finds the contract jobs that recruiters, agencies and hiring managers in Singapore announce in LinkedIn posts, including the many that never become a formal job ad. You see who posted each role and contact them directly.

  • Contract jobs from LinkedIn feed posts, often missing from job boards
  • Agency, banking and government contracts in one place, with the monthly rate when stated
  • You see the recruiter or hiring manager and reach out directly
  • Email alerts by specialisation and monthly rate
  • One plan at S$69 a year, with 3 days free

Does Freelance Radar show the monthly rate?

Yes, when the post states it. Each role shows the rate as written, for example SGD 8,000 to 9,500 a month, along with the contract length, renewal and pass requirements when they are mentioned.
