When direct hire makes sense
Direct hire suits you if you have already found a helper yourself, for example a friend's former helper or someone recommended by family. You skip the sourcing and matching, and we take care of the MOM paperwork, insurance and medical check-up so everything is done correctly.
What we handle for a direct hire
- Work permit application and issuance with MOM
- Medical and personal accident insurance, and the security bond guarantee
- Medical check-up and, for a first-time helper, the Settling-In Programme
- Employment contract and safety agreement
What you need to provide
- The helper's passport and, if she is in Singapore, her current work permit details
- Your NRIC and household details for the levy and concession check
- The agreed salary, rest days and start date
