In today’s busy schedule where the need of a maid is quite necessary, one has to find out a way by which hiring of the maid either by mutual interactions with known sources, advertisements and so on. When finding a maid or a domestic help for your household chores or to take care of your kid or to care of the elderly or the physically challenged becomes a matter of stress, the only way that you think of is to entrust the job to a reliable maid agency. But then the main question is that how to ascertain whether the maid agency is genuine or not? This doubt often occurs in everyone’s mind because of various reasons. Nevertheless, a maid agency is such an arrangement, where the employer and the maid can register themselves through a simple process and the rest of the process will be taken care of by the maid agency.
All the same there are a good number of preliminaries that one should pay attention to. Before approaching a maid agency a through cross examination about the agency credentials and recruitment records have to be checked up through genuine sources. Another main aspect that should be seen is that whether the maid agency is recognised by the ministry of manpower and has it been approved. The credibility, transparency, clear-cut financial transaction, after hiring feedback, legitimate documentation are a few aspects that have to be checked up as well. The next is the operational capability of the maid agency. Every agency has its own specialities and area of working. Some may be proficient with resources of specific geographical locations, like Indian maids, Srilankan maids, Indonesian maids, Myanmar maids, Filipino maids and so on, while others may be capable with regards to the status of the maids like fresh maids, transfer maids, experienced maids, ex-singapore maids and so on.
Advancement in this sector is the advent of certain portals and websites that are maintained and operated by experts. Portals like the Eazymaid allow registrations from authorised and recognised maid agencies and act as a common platform for both the maids and the employers. The main advantage is that this is a web application and can be accessed and operated from any corner of the globe as long as one has a valid credential for login and navigation. These eliminate the role of middle men who have an ill repute and are not registered and legalised by the ministry. The portal, owing to its multiple features like search, chat and apply, is the most suitable means of maid hiring and is a fool proof method both for the maid as well as the employer. The employer can first interact with the maid over the chat feature and analyse the interaction and then decide whether the prospective maid will be suitable for their household. Once the selection is finalised, then the maid’s personal discussion will be initiated accordingly and the relevant documentation part will also be completed, thereby rendering the maid hiring process neat and clean.
