Employer and household details
Prepare the employing person's identification details, contact information and household circumstances. These help the consultant identify which checks and declarations may apply.
Paperwork assistance
Direct-hire assistance
For employers who have already identified a helper and need assistance with paperwork, eligibility checks and the applicable employment process in Singapore.
What we can assist with
A clear, guided process.
Case and document review
Start with the helper you have selected: her passport details, current location and employment status, together with the employer and household information. We review the paperwork available and identify gaps before the application is prepared.
Work Permit process guidance
An overseas application and a transfer within Singapore follow different routes. We explain the applicable application and issuance steps, the employer authorisation needed for agency assistance and the documents to prepare.
Insurance and required arrangements
The case review identifies the insurance and other mandatory arrangements that apply. For an overseas arrival, this can include a security bond, medical examination and a Settling-In Programme for a first-time helper.
Arrival or transfer coordination
Confirm the applicable approval and document requirements before fixing the employment start. Overseas arrivals also require source-country checks; a helper already in Singapore needs the appropriate transfer arrangements.
When this service may fit
Start with the facts of your case.
Different hiring and employment situations require different checks. Share the complete background with your consultant so the appropriate route can be confirmed before documents or payments are arranged.
You already know the helper you intend to employ
You may have found a helper through a recommendation or a previous working relationship. Bring her details so the discussion can focus on the employment process for that person.
The helper may be overseas or already in Singapore
Tell us where she is now and whether she has an existing employer. This determines which application or transfer information we need to review.
You need process support rather than candidate matching
This service starts with your chosen helper. If you are still comparing candidates, our fresh-helper or transfer-helper placement services are the more relevant starting point.
You want a case-specific document and cost review
Ask for an itemised quotation showing the assistance included and any government, insurance or third-party charges. Do not assume a fresh-placement offer applies to direct hire.
Prepare for a useful consultation
Information to gather before you contact us.
Helper's complete background
Share the helper's identity, nationality, current location, employment status and any available employment history. Do not rely on partial screenshots or unverified biodata.
Existing documents and dates
Bring the documents you already hold and the intended employment timeline. If the helper is in Singapore, explain her present employment and proposed transfer situation clearly.
Typical journey
What happens next.
Confirm eligibility
Establish the helper’s location and employment status, then review the employer and helper information relevant to the proposed route.
Review documents
Check passport and application particulars, required consent and employer authorisation. Resolve missing or inconsistent information before submission.
Complete required steps
Follow the applicable Work Permit route and coordinate the required insurance and other arrangements. Approval and third-party requirements determine the next steps.
Prepare for employment
Check the relevant arrival or transfer documents and permit issuance requirements. Confirm what remains outstanding before the helper begins employment.
Common questions
What employers usually ask.
These general answers help you prepare. Your consultant will confirm the position for your specific application.
Is direct hire the same as choosing from agency profiles?
No. Direct hire normally starts after an employer has already identified the person they wish to employ. Candidate sourcing and matching are therefore not the main service; the focus is the applicable employment process and required arrangements.
Can you confirm eligibility before I commit?
The consultant can review the facts and documents provided, explain the likely route and identify information that still needs checking. Final outcomes remain subject to the relevant authorities and third parties.
Will every direct-hire case follow the same steps?
No. The sequence can differ depending on the helper's location, current status, prior employment and document readiness. That is why a complete case review is required before timelines or costs are confirmed.
