Our Commitment to Ethical Recruitment of Foreign Domestic Workers
-
Our Mission
HelperChoice is the first ethical platform connecting employers and foreign domestic workers directly. Our aim is to empower domestic workers by allowing them to find jobs for free, which eradicates the culture of placement fees and ensures safe and ethical working conditions during the entire contract.
We strongly believe that, through technology and digitisation, we can bring a fair, transparent and seamless recruitment process for foreign domestic workers and employers.
HelperChoice has facilitated thousands of hires in its operating regions, eliminating intermediaries and illegal placement fees. The platform has collaborated with the International Labour Organisation and NGOs.
Our service and ethical process
For Saudi Arabia employers and applicants, our service aims to connect both parties through our online platform and our support consultants’ team.
We offer a dedicated support service during which we help you find the perfect domestic worker.
Step 1. You fill out our registration form which will evaluate the working conditions you offer to the applicant.
Step 2. If the working conditions match our ethical standards, we will get in touch with you to confirm the registration and send you our payment link.
Step 3. Our dedicated consultant will shortlist some applicants according to your needs, but also make sure that those applicants are equally interested in this position to avoid mismatching.
Step 4. Our dedicated consultant and recommended agency will guide you through the recruitment and deployment process.
Step 5. We will stay in touch with the domestic worker and yourself throughout the whole employment contract, making sure that her rights and working conditions are respected. If we estimate that they are not, we reserve the right to take actions and report the case to the authorities.
At HelperChoice we believe that:
All foreign domestic workers and employers should be aware of the local regulations regarding the hiring, deployment and employment of foreign domestic workers. Therefore we will send you official materials to make sure you understand those.
All identity documents and personal belongings must be kept by the foreign domestic worker before and after her deployment, including but not limited to: passport, local ID, contract copy…etc
All employers must offer a monthly salary at least equal to the minimum local salary in the deployment country, for foreign domestic workers.
Domestic workers must have a decent place to rest in the employer’s accommodation. The room can be private or shared, however it cannot be shared with an adult of the opposite sex. The room must include: bed, sheets, quilts, a drawer or storage space and ideally a fan / heater for hot or cold weather.
Domestic workers must have dedicated rest time, including one rest day per week (full 24 hours), during which they are allowed to go out and enjoy personal activities.
Employers of foreign domestic workers must offer decent food, or a food allowance, representing a healthy diet with 3 meals a day.
What do we expect from our partners and our employees?
All our business partners and employees must treat our clients, foreign domestic workers and employers, with respect and dignity, and more importantly without judgment.
We believe that all foreign applicants should have access to the job market for free, therefore we make sure that our applicants do not pay any fee, either to our platform, nor to our recommended agencies in the Philippines.
Any additional training requested to domestic workers prior to deployment must be legally required and sponsored by the employer.
