Hiring for foreign people.

For a new CEO of a company or business, there are a lot of people who visit Singapore to be a tourist at the same time looking for a job. They are submitting their resumes to find a job here and most of them are seeking the job that my company is looking for. Can I accept those who are qualified to join my team but the reason that they said to the immigration is just to be a tourist?
