Direct hire does not remove MOM requirements. Employer eligibility, helper eligibility, Work Permit processing, insurance, medical and other applicable steps still need to be completed correctly.
When direct hire may fit
You may already know a helper through family, a previous employment relationship or a personal introduction and do not require the agency to source candidates.
What an agency can assist with
- Checking document readiness and the intended hiring route.
- Guidance on applicable Work Permit processes.
- Coordinating required insurance, medical or arrival steps where relevant.
- Explaining the paperwork and likely timeline.
What to clarify first
Confirm where the helper is currently located, her employment status, nationality, passport validity, prior Singapore history and whether any overseas processing applies. Never make unofficial payments or rely on unverified documents.
Approval is determined by the relevant authorities. Jans cannot guarantee a Work Permit outcome or bypass eligibility requirements.
