Placement service

Fresh maid placement in Singapore

For employers considering a helper arriving from an approved source country, with current biodata, interviews and preparation discussed case by case. Current profile availability varies by country.

What we can assist with

A clear, guided process.

Household-needs consultation

Explain the actual duties, care routines, language needs, pets and sleeping arrangements. We use this brief to distinguish essential experience from skills your family can teach.

Current biodata shortlisting

A consultant checks current approved profiles against your household brief. Availability and the individual helper's stated experience are confirmed before you decide.

Interview coordination

Discuss practical situations, daily priorities and expectations with the helper. An interview gives both sides a chance to understand the role; biodata alone cannot guarantee suitability.

Employment-process guidance

After selection, the consultant explains the applicable documents, approvals, travel and arrival steps. Your itemised quotation separates the service fee from placement-related and third-party costs.

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 are open to a helper arriving from overseas

Fresh placement involves selecting a helper overseas and coordinating the applicable employment and arrival steps. If you need to interview someone already in Singapore, compare the transfer route instead.

Your timeline allows for sourcing and applicable processing

Share your preferred start date before shortlisting. The consultant checks document readiness and gives a case-specific estimate; overseas processing and travel can affect arrival.

You want a shortlist based on actual household duties

Describe the care routine, cooking, household work and communication needs clearly. Assess each candidate's experience against those duties rather than choosing on nationality alone.

You will interview and explain the role before deciding

Prepare practical questions and explain the job scope, routines and living arrangements. Give the helper room to ask questions and confirm that she understands the expectations.

Prepare for a useful consultation

Information to gather before you contact us.

Household and care needs

Describe every household member, infant or elderly-care routine, mobility consideration, pet, cooking requirement and sleeping arrangement that affects the role.

Skills you can teach

Separate essential prior experience from tasks your family can demonstrate patiently. This creates a more realistic shortlist and a fairer interview.

Timeline and budget context

Share when support is needed and ask for the complete itemised quotation. The agency service fee is only one part of the overall employment cost.

Typical journey

What happens next.

Confirmation

Confirm the selected helper

The employer confirms the selected helper after interview. The consultant checks passport readiness, source-country requirements and the information needed for the application.

Documents

Complete documents and applications

Contracts, Work Permit steps, insurance and applicable overseas or embassy processing are completed in the correct sequence. Missing documents can extend the timeline.

Travel

Coordinate travel and arrival requirements

Once the required approvals and documents are ready, travel and any applicable arrival, programme or registration arrangements are coordinated.

Handover

Welcome and hand over the helper

After the required Singapore steps are completed, Jans Maid & Employment Agency coordinates the agreed handover or doorstep home sending.

Important to understand

Clear expectations before confirmation.

  • A fixed service fee applies to fresh MDW applications; select the service-fee panel on our Costs & Fees page to view it.
  • It is not the total cost; mandatory, placement-related and third-party amounts can also apply.
  • Final terms are governed by the signed service agreement and itemised quotation.
Common questions

What employers usually ask.

These general answers help you prepare. Your consultant will confirm the position for your specific application.

How is a fresh-helper shortlist prepared?

The consultant starts with the household brief, then reviews current approved biodata for relevant experience, communication and stated preferences. Profiles should still be assessed through an interview.

Can a profile guarantee suitability?

No. Biodata is a starting point, not a guarantee. Employers should discuss the real duties, ask practical questions and allow the helper to understand the household before deciding.

How soon can a fresh helper arrive after confirmation?

A fresh helper may take approximately two weeks to one month to arrive after confirmation when the required documents are ready. Timing varies by source country, passport readiness, Work Permit and overseas processing, travel and other case-specific requirements. Employers should begin preparing early and treat the consultant's estimate as guidance rather than a guaranteed arrival date.

Check the current rules

Use official guidance for regulatory requirements.

Processes and requirements can change. Jans Maid & Employment Agency explains how they may apply to your case, while the Ministry of Manpower remains the authoritative source for Work Permit and employer obligations.
