How it works

The Maid Hiring Process in Malaysia, Step by Step

Hiring a domestic helper involves choosing the right person and completing the paperwork correctly. Here is how the process generally works with Final Choice.

Eight steps from first enquiry to follow-up

  1. Step 1: Consultation

    Tell us about your household, the main duties and your preferences.

  2. Step 2: Candidate matching

    We shortlist helpers whose skills and experience fit your needs.

  3. Step 3: Biodata review

    You review the shortlisted biodata and ask questions.

  4. Step 4: Interview

    You interview your preferred candidate, usually online.

  5. Step 5: Documentation

    We help you prepare the employer documents and contract.

  6. Step 6: Application and approval

    We submit through the relevant process and follow it up. Approval is decided by the authorities.

  7. Step 7: Arrival and orientation

    Arrival, medical screening and handover arrangements, with an orientation for your helper.

  8. Step 8: Follow-up support

    Assistance after placement, including permit and contract renewal and support under your agreement terms.

Steps and timing vary and are subject to current requirements. Approval is decided by the relevant authorities and cannot be guaranteed.

What employers should prepare

Requirements are set by the authorities and can change, so we confirm the current list for you. Typically employers should expect to provide:

  • Employer identification details
  • Information about the household and the helper’s intended duties
  • Documents showing the employer meets the eligibility requirements
  • Signature on the employment contract and application forms

This is a general guide only. Do not send ID copies in an open chat message; we will tell you how to share them safely.

After the helper arrives

Arrival, medical screening and handover are arranged as part of the placement. Helpers receive an orientation, and we remain available for questions during the early weeks, and for permit and contract renewal later.

Frequently asked questions

How long does the whole process take?

There is no fixed timeline. It depends on candidate availability, approvals, documents and arrival arrangements. We explain the expected steps for your case.

What if I change my mind after the interview?

Please ask your consultant about the terms that apply before you sign any agreement.
