About Busy Bee Recruitment
About Busy Bee Recruitment
Busy Bee Recruitment is a domestic helper placement agency operating islandwide from its office at 38 Defu Lane 10, Singapore. The listing is KakiList-verified, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person. With only four Google reviews at a rating of 5/5, the sample is too small to draw firm conclusions about service quality. No MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence has been confirmed in the listing data, and ACRA registration is not on file — both are worth verifying directly before proceeding.
When approaching any maid agency, the standard process begins with discussing your household profile — number of residents, whether you require a new hire or a transfer helper, source-country preference (Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, or Sri Lanka), and any specific duties such as childcare, elder companionship, or cooking. The agency coordinates the helper's Settling-In Programme, medical examination, Work Permit application, and mandatory FDW insurance. Monthly costs beyond the placement fee include the helper's salary (typically S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary if your household includes a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability). Confirm exactly what is bundled into the placement fee and what is billed separately.
Contact Busy Bee Recruitment via WhatsApp or phone to discuss your household needs, verify their MOM EA Licence number against the MOM online EA directory, and request a written breakdown of all fees before signing any agreement.

Great service! Jelyn was able to explain in detail the differences in culture/ways of working etc between the nationalities. She was also not afraid to reject potential candidates - ie she doesn’t force a candidate on you, she is very professional to select one that meets my needs. If she finds one that ain’t so suitable, she will tell you upfront even if it means her having to spend time and effort to find another. Pricing was very transparent, no hidden charges. Overall great service rendered at competitive pricing

Busy bee was recommended by my colleague and the partner, Jelyn attended to my enquiry. She is very prompt with the recruitment service, providing suitable helper profiles, scheduling interviews, being patient with my queries as it's my first time engaging a helper. The entire process was smooth and efficient. The helper came the following week. Thanks busy bee for assisting me with this.

I am very happy to have engaged this agency to procure a Myanmar maid. They gave me sound professional advice regarding my situation. The whole process was quite hassle-free because they guided me along and provided all the necessary services. All these were done online with no physical interactions of the old. So very convenient, amazing.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Busy Bee Recruitment charge?›
Placement fees for a new hire typically range from S$1,500 to S$3,500 at Singapore maid agencies; transfer helper placements usually cost S$500–1,500 as the helper is already in Singapore. On top of the placement fee, you will pay the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary if your household has a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability). Confirm what is bundled into Busy Bee Recruitment's placement fee — mandatory FDW insurance (roughly S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application are standard inclusions at most agencies, but some bill these separately.

Is Busy Bee Recruitment MOM-licensed?›
Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore must hold an MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence — verifiable by name or licence number on MOM's online EA directory at no cost. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, contracts, and invoices. No MOM EA Licence has been confirmed in the current listing data for Busy Bee Recruitment, so this is the first thing to verify before paying any deposit. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; agencies rated A+ or A have stronger compliance records and more robust complaint-handling processes. Engaging an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if a placement fails, and can void your FDW insurance. Verify the EA Licence number on MOM's online EA directory before paying any deposit, and read the agency contract's replacement, refund, and early-termination clauses.
What replacement guarantee does Busy Bee Recruitment offer?›
Standard replacement guarantees at Singapore maid agencies typically cover a window of six months from the helper's arrival date, and may include one or two replacement placements at no additional charge. It is important to clarify what voids the guarantee — documented mismatch in skills or temperament is usually covered, whereas a change of mind after a few days may not be. Also confirm the early-termination process: if a placement breaks down outside the guarantee window, the household bears the cost of the repatriation flight, any refund of unused MOM levy, and Work Permit cancellation paperwork. These costs can run several hundred dollars and should be factored into your decision. Ask Busy Bee Recruitment to set out the replacement terms, number of included replacements, and early-termination costs in writing before you commit.
