      No matter which agency, it all depends on luck.

        I agree getting maid is our luck. The maids register with the maid agency; they interview these applicants, check out their strength, market them, advise them, and most important (at least for those i went to) they check their employment history with the MOM.


        I just got mine from Sunshine Employment at Far East Shppg Ctr, the lady Ria is VERY responsive. The agency fees are quite competitive there as there are many agencies in that shppg ctr. This maid agency’s refund was fast. At first, i selected one, paid the fees, and the maid changed her mind after 2 days. I ask for a refund and the cheque was ready for collection in 2 days.

        Sometimes the maids will register with a few agencies (registration is free) to increase their chances of employment. Therefore, if Agency A charge $488 and Agency B charge $888, you are still able to choose the same maid (if they register with both Agency A & B)

        One thing i learn is to check out the cost of maid replacement. Some are totally free and some you need to pay a small fee. Replacement is one thing, they can give unlimited for 2 years, but some agencies are so unpopular with the maids that they get very few register with them, hence we employers have not many choices.

          Hahah, apparently most of the replies are, recommended agencies you DONT go to... so, im chipping into the crowd.


          I just had a bad experience with this agency at orchard road \"Super XXXXXXXXX Specialist\"

          We relied on them for info regarding maid on home leave (maid still under contract) but agency is not updated. Didnt know that maid need KTKLN. Indo Embassy (when we went to get tax endorsement) also didnt inform us. Maid is now in Indo, stuck and cannot come back. She went to airport but was stopped at custom. So maid decide not to come back. Maid also cannot be contacted.

          Essentially I feel that the contract is useless. It doesnt protect both parties, mostly the maid. but the contract has no real effect in any way. So disheartened...
          wat is this KTKLN thing??

              I got mine from Sinar Mas (http://sinarmas.netmaid.com.sg/search/result). Look for Sindy, but need to be patient. She is super busy. I am very pleased with her service.

                      Hi FanFanx,

                      I got my indo maid from Abssist Employment Agency at Bukit Timah Shooping Centre. The maid is quite hard working, obedient and willing to learn. Call Kenneth at 9230 0016.He was the person who served us. He is very helpful and detailed. My 2nd Aunt just got an indo maid within 2 weeks from him at $0 agency fee. Heard they are running some promotions now.

                        It really depends on luck on hiring maid. I m going to try my luck with Abssist Employment Agency at Bukit Timah Shooping Centre. My Sis got a maid within less than a month from them recently. Patient toward baby and hard working. Call Kenneth at 9230 0016. Heard they are charging $0 agency fee for indo maid. Hope this is useful to you all. Cheers!
