● The Household Help sector is a very unethical sector where there is hardly any common law to understand how the department should function. As far as our knowledge and experience is concerned, we would like to present the below tips to help you hire & retain good maids. You may be aware that it’s a difficult task to find & retain good maids these days.

● When you interview a Maid over the telephone, talk to her politely. This is because they are more likely to turn up for the physical interview when they get a positive response from the employer on a telephonic interview.

● After you shortlist a maid, if she decides to join, ask her to join on the day of the interview itself or on the very next possible day. You can do this to save your time and efforts as the maid will have no time to grab other opportunities.

● When a maid that you have hired joins for work, there is a need to behave with her respectfully and kindly especially for the first fifteen days. There is an estimation that most of the household maids give up within 2 weeks of joining or after getting their initial salary. If they don’t leave within that period, it means that they feel safe and satisfied and there is a huge possibility that they will stay with you for a longer time.

● Sometimes a candidate gets ready for the physical interview but never appears for it. This is the reason we suggest that you keep a minimum of one candidate as a backup while connecting over telephone, so that we can arrange the next candidate for you without any time being wasted.
