Updated 1 June 20268 minute read

Collect minimum documentation before joining

Take photo ID copy, current address details, one alternate family contact, and recent photo. Keep a simple record file so replacements and audits are easier.

If your building has staff registration, complete that process before the first workday.

Run meaningful reference checks

Ask previous employers about punctuality, behaviour during emergencies, and notice period discipline. General praise is less useful than specific examples.

Cross-check job duration claims and responsibilities to verify consistency.

Use trial shifts with clear scoring

Track arrival time, work quality, communication, and response to feedback over a few days. Written notes prevent memory bias.

For safer placement support, start from maid service in Nagdevi or maid service in Crawford.
