What Should I Consider When Choosing An Agency?
Most employers rely on friends, relatives and word of mouth on agency recommendations. Many venture online with a blind search, often finding mixed reviews and confusing results. Some with prior experience might head to NetMaid to browse potential candidates, shortlist selected profiles, and then contact their respective agencies to learn more.
All this information can get overwhelming—we are here to simplify the process.
Before deciding on an agency, it helps to weigh a few things:
- How big the maid agency is. Big agencies contain more profiles, but smaller ones tend to provide a friendlier, more personal service.
- What they charge. Ensure that fees are clear—no surprise add-ons or hidden costs.
- Their past records. A quick background check, including customer reviews, can tell you a lot about how they treat prospective clients and the helpers they represent.
Rather than relying on friends and relatives for anecdotal advice, information on agencies can be found on the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) website: https://service2.mom.gov.sg/eadirectory. MOM provides useful statistics such as:
- Retention rate: The percentage of helpers who stay with the same employer for at least six months.
- Transfer rate: The percentage of helpers who have transferred to three or more employers within a year.
- Placement volume: The number of work passes approved for that maid agency in a year.
Which Agencies Have Offices Near Me?
“Maid agencies near me” is a common search term used by potential employers in initiating contact with maid agencies. NetMaid allows employers to input their location into the search bar, and results will display helpers profiles whose agencies are located in their preferred location. Agencies that have offices in various parts of Singapore are organized accordingly so that they can be easily identified by employers that value the “maid agencies near me” criteria.
What If I Have Very Specific Criteria?
NetMaid’s allows employers to filter helpers based on a wide range of criteria such as nationality, education level, language proficiency, religion, and experience in areas like cooking, childcare, or elderly care. Salary expectations are also stated for most helper profiles, keeping things transparent.
Employers can shortlist preferred candidates, and then reach out directly to respective agencies for further clarification if needed.
Several helper profiles include short YouTube video clips—a simple, fuss-free way for employers to gain a better impression beyond words on a resume. Once a suitable candidate is identified, interviews can be arranged by the representing agency: either remotely for helpers still in their home countries, or in person for those already in Singapore.
This is one of many reasons why NetMaid remains the most popular, go-to platform for employers looking to find their perfect match.
