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

MyCareersFuture 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 MyCareersFuture?

MyCareersFuture is the national job portal run by Workforce Singapore. Many employers must advertise a role there under the Fair Consideration Framework before they can apply for an Employment Pass for it.

What MyCareersFuture does well

  • A very wide range of Singapore job ads, with the salary range shown
  • Run by a government agency, free to use
  • Useful to see which organisations are hiring

Where MyCareersFuture falls short for contractors

  • Contract roles are mixed with every other job type
  • Many ads are posted to meet the advertising requirement and do not say who is hiring
  • Roles that recruiters share only in LinkedIn posts are not there

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
