Are you overwhelmed with the many responsibilities of daily life? Are you considering hiring household staff for help around the house? Do you not know where to start? In this, article we will walk you through the process of finding household staff.
Things to Consider When Hiring Household Staff
Services Needed from Household Staff
Firstly, think about the services you will require when hiring household staff. For example:
- Is your commute to work a burden every day? A chauffeur could be beneficial.
- Want to cut down on take-out meals but lack the time to cook? Consider hiring a personal chef.
- Do you want to spend less time cleaning up? A housekeeper might be the answer.
There are many areas where household staff can provide help. Read more on each job type to narrow down your search criteria.
Time Required of Household Staff
Next in your search for hiring household staff, determine how much time you require of your new employee.
- Do you need a weekly maid for deep cleaning?
- Do you require a weekday driver, excluding weekends?
- Do you seek a nanny available for family travel?
Additionally, when hiring household staff, consider the time needed to find an employee. Do you have the time to post job advertisements, conduct interviews and do trial tests? You may want to consider a recruitment company like Nomenial who can handle the logistics for you. Additionally, Nomenial vets all of the leads, checking their history, records and background.
Financial Means
The next step for hiring household staff is the cost. Each service type will vary based on the employees:
- work experience
- education
- certifications
- location
- and availability
During your employee search it is important for your budget and desired credentials to align. For example, if you need a nanny 5 days a week, a live-in nanny may be out of your budget. Instead, a live-out nanny could present a better fit.
Becoming An Employer
Finally, you must consider the payment structure when hiring household staff. Are you ready to take on the role of becoming an employer? This task will take time and knowledge to ensure all requirements are met. You will need to:
- write a formal employment contract
- ensure the employee is legally allowed to work in the country
- register as an employer
- provide pension plans when necessary
- and get a background check if they are working with vulnerable people
To reduce this burden, it might be worth your time to use a reputable company like Nomenial who can be the employer instead.
