Compare maid agencies beyond the placement fee.
For migrant domestic worker placement, licence validity and fit matter as much as the headline fee. XIYA separates provider-declared information from registry-confirmed evidence.
1. Verify the agency
Use MOM’s Employment Agencies and Personnel Search to check whether an agency and its personnel are licensed and to review service quality and performance indicators.
2. Match the household need
Infant care, elderly care, cooking, transfer-helper preference and prior experience are different matching needs. Avoid treating all placements as equivalent.
3. Compare the full fee structure
Ask what is included in agency fees, replacement terms, administrative charges and any worker-related costs before comparing totals.
XIYA does not treat an agency licence number shown on a provider website as independently verified until the official registry check is completed.
