Good questions deserve
straightforward answers.

DomesticHelp.ca provides a personal household recruitment service. We source and introduce candidates for private families; we do not publish an open directory or ask families to search through a marketplace.

Our curated search includes a conversation about your household, targeted candidate sourcing, and introductions to up to three relevant candidates. You arrange the interviews and make your own hiring decision.

The full recruitment fee is 10% of the employee’s agreed annual salary. A $500 search commencement is credited toward the final recruitment fee once a hire is made.

Full recruitment includes a tailored search, personal shortlisting, interview coordination, relevant references and candidate checks, help preparing the employment agreement, and a 90-day replacement guarantee.
