Your hiring guide
What happens after you find someone?
Finding her is the easy half. These are the six steps between "I like this profile" and her first day.
Shortlist 3–5
Save the profiles that fit. Plan to speak with several — the first one you like is rarely the one you hire.
Unlock once, contact them all
One payment from AED 299 opens phone and WhatsApp for every candidate for your access period. No per-contact fees, no commission.
Interview — in person if you can
Ask to see her passport and visa page. Cover:
- Duties and what is not included
- Working hours and days off
- Salary
- Live-in room, or the commute for live-out
- How she handles children
- House rules
Agree a trial period in her contract
If both sides agree, agree a trial period in her contract. Agree the dates, duties, payment, and schedule in writing, and contact another candidate during your access period if the arrangement does not work out.
Agree the terms in writing
Salary, hours, days off, accommodation, notice period, start date — one page, both of you keep a copy.
Ready to hire? Sort the visa
Families can get a visa through our licensed Tadbeer partner maids.cc for AED 8,200 (AED 300 off with any plan), or use their own sponsorship route. Confirm the requirements directly with the licensed provider, and do not let a candidate start work on a visit visa.
A few things to remember
- Speak to more than one candidate before deciding
- Agree salary, duties and hours before any trial starts
- Settle location and commute early for live-out
- Fit and temperament matter as much as years of experience
ChooseMaid connects you directly with candidates. Salary, hours, duties, days off and every other term are agreed between you and her. ChooseMaid is not a party to that agreement.
