About Gladden Employment Agency
Gladden Employment Agency is a domestic helper placement service operating islandwide from its office at 16 Jalan Kilang Timor, Singapore 159308. The agency has been verified by KakiList — a real person confirmed operating details and contact channel — though no ACRA registration has been confirmed and no regulatory licences are currently listed on this profile. There is no Google review data available at this time. Pricing is indicated at the mid-range ($$) level on a package basis.
When engaging any maid agency in Singapore, the standard process involves discussing the type of helper you require — new hire versus transfer — along with source-country preferences (Indonesia, Philippines, Myanmar, or Sri Lanka), the helper's experience and salary expectations (typically S$550–800 per month depending on nationality and experience), and the household's eligibility for the concessionary MOM levy of S$60 per month, available if your household includes a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability (otherwise the standard levy is S$300 per month). A legitimate agency will walk you through the full placement package, including what is bundled — mandatory FDW insurance, the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application — versus what is billed separately. Confirm the placement fee, any replacement guarantee window, and the early-termination and repatriation process in writing before signing.

Placement fees for a new-hire helper typically run S$1,500–3,500; transfer helpers (already in Singapore on a valid Work Permit) usually attract a lower placement fee of S$500–1,500. On top of the agency fee, budget for the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the monthly MOM levy — S$300 at the standard rate, or the concessionary S$60 if your household has a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability. Confirm what is bundled in the package: mandatory FDW insurance (~S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, pre-placement medical examination, and Work Permit application fees are sometimes included, sometimes charged on top.

Every legitimate maid agency in Singapore must hold an MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is verifiable by name or licence number on MOM's online EA directory. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, all contracts, and invoices. EA Grading runs from A+ to C — an A+ or A rating signals stronger compliance and complaint-handling history. Gladden Employment Agency's EA Licence is not currently listed on this KakiList profile. Before paying any deposit, ask for the licence number directly and verify it yourself on the MOM EA directory. Hiring through an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if the helper absconds or the agency closes, 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.
A standard replacement guarantee covers the period from the helper's arrival in your home, typically six months, and specifies how many free replacements are included. It is important to understand what voids the guarantee — documented incompatibility or behavioural issues are usually covered, whereas a straightforward change of mind may not be. Ask for the guarantee terms in writing before signing. Also clarify the early-termination process should the placement break down after the guarantee window closes. The household is responsible for the helper's repatriation flight, unused levy refund processing, and Work Permit cancellation paperwork — these costs can add up, and knowing them in advance helps you plan. As no guarantee terms are currently published for Gladden Employment Agency, request full written details directly before committing.
