Have a question?

This entirely depends on how many hours per week the candidate will be working for you. We are happy to discuss domestic staff employment rules with you, or please consult your tax advisor.

Regarding tax issues, the employer is legally the responsible party, rather than the candidate. However, this can vary, for example in instances where the candidate remains self-employed and depending on the hours worked per week. Please consult your tax advisor for specific instructions pertaining to your household.

We would highly recommend that you implement staff insurance for your chosen household staff candidate. Whilst it rarely needs to be claimed upon, it is a responsible approach that affords great peace of mind.

The client is responsible for all travel expenses pertaining to the candidate employment process overseas. However, our streamlined approach ensures that these remain reasonable and relevant.

Yes, we always carry out checks where necessary and requested as part of our thorough vetting process. For this there is a supplementary fee .

No, we do not require that any candidate should pay a fee or be charged in any way, as we offer a fair, equitable and genuine service for both candidates and clients.

We are an international agency and can source and place candidates anywhere in the world, as per our clients’ requirements.
