HireCentral
HireCentral is an AI recruitment platform from A&B Group, and the only one in Singapore where a new hire accepted today is on payroll by their first day, automatically. Operated by People Central Pte Ltd, it uses AI across the full hiring journey, from job descriptions and resume scoring to interviews, verification, and onboarding, then syncs the accepted offer straight into PeopleCentral payroll, attendance, and expenses with zero re-entry. It is MOM Fair Consideration Framework compliant by default and a multi-year award winner for AI recruitment.
The differentiator
What makes HireCentral different.
Most recruitment software stops at the offer. The new hire's details then get re-keyed into the HRMS, then payroll, then attendance, every manual transfer creating errors and delay.
HireCentral does not stop at the offer. Because it is built into the PeopleCentral HR OS, the moment an offer is accepted the new hire is created in the HRMS, their CPF and payroll rules are applied, their TimeCentral attendance and face recognition are configured, and they are added to the ReimburseMe expense system, all automatically.
A hire accepted today is on payroll by their start date with no spreadsheet, no re-entry, no gaps. A standalone recruitment tool cannot do this, because it does not own the payroll system. HireCentral does.

Each module in HireCentral targets a specific source of delay, error, or compliance risk in the hiring process.
30%
more applications
Writing job descriptions.

Fit
Who HireCentral is for.
Singapore HR and hiring teams that want to cut time-to-hire (one customer reduced it by around 30%), companies hiring at volume where resume screening is the bottleneck, and any organisation that needs MOM FCF and PDPA compliance documented automatically rather than managed by hand. Because it is wired into PeopleCentral, it is strongest for companies that want hiring, payroll, attendance, and expenses to operate as one system rather than four.
