In Hong Kong, there are currently two main ways to hire foreign domestic workers – traditional employment agencies and online employment matching platforms. However, some unethical agencies will charge a big amount of placement fees during the hiring process. Many domestic helpers are suffering from the issue of loans and financial problems. This article mainly compares the differences between HelperChoice, traditional agencies and other online employment matching platforms, allowing you to find your employer in the best way.
No placement fee
HelperChoice is an ethical platform that is completely free for domestic workers. We avoid extra costs by not receiving any intermediary fees from workers during the application process, allowing you to start working without loans. We have facilitated more than 50,000 recruitments and estimates that more than 60 million euros of illegal placement fees were saved.
Transparent recruitment process
Unlike unethical intermediaries, our professional team will ensure the worker fully understands the content and details of the employment contract. We are also willing to answer all questions when signing the contract and assisting you to obtain a working visa. We are committed to protecting the rights of foreign domestic workers. Our recruitment process is completely transparent.
More options for workers
Traditional agencies will only provide workers with short-listed employers to choose from, which workers are usually passive with few choices. By registering on HelperChoice, you can browse over 50,000 employer profiles and hiring posts on our platform! You can also interview and talk to all employers you are interested in freely.
Save your time
Compared with traditional agencies, HelperChoice allows you to find employers from different countries at any time and anywhere, saving your time to go to the agency to complete the formalities in person.
Fair employment
HelperChoice is a reliable online platform, dedicated to advocating fair employment. We cooperated with the International Labor Organization and have been recognized by the Philippine government. Compared with other platforms, our service quality is more guaranteed. Also, we fulfil our corporate social responsibility and cooperate with many NGOs, like Enrich HK, to improve the well-being of domestic workers.
Great job opportunities
Compared with other platforms, HelperChoice has tons of working opportunities with more than 50,000 verified employers. Diverse choices of job offer on the platform allow you to choose an employer that suits your preferences. Also, each employer is required to fill in detailed job requirements and skills to ensure the validity of profiles, allowing you to select suitable employers in a safer and faster way.
Contact employers freely
Our platform has interviewed and chat functions. You can directly contact any potential employers to better understand the employer’s background and detailed requirements. You can even join an interview with various employers which helps you to find a suitable employer more easily and assuredly.
