Hiring Risks

Most common risks of hiring a foreign domestic helper

The most common risks of hiring a foreign domestic helper are that they may quit their job within a short period of time or their performance may not meet expectations that the employer needs to terminate their employment, leading to the employer losing all the recruitment costs they have paid. If the helper is hired through an agency, the employer is unable to obtain a refund, and if they need to hire another helper, they will have to pay agency fees again. Some agencies may waive the agency fees or offer a discount for hiring another helper, but this situation is rare.
