Home / Direct Hire your own Maid

Looking to direct hire a maid in Singapore? Direct hiring allows you to employ a helper you have already personally identified, without going through the usual selection process. However, bringing a helper from her source country involves more than obtaining approval in Singapore. Different documentation and deployment requirements may apply depending on where your helper is coming from. Having an experienced agency coordinate these requirements can make the process more straightforward and help avoid unnecessary delays.
Our accreditation for the recruitment of helpers from the Philippines and Indonesia gives us direct experience with the specific procedures required by each source country. We work with our established overseas counterparts to coordinate the necessary documentation and arrangements, while keeping you informed at each stage of the process.
With Assured Employment managing the details, you can focus on preparing for your helper’s arrival while we take care of the processing behind the scenes.


We handle all required MOM submissions, ensuring forms, timelines and approvals are managed accurately throughout the application process to minimise the risk of rejection or unnecessary delays.
