About Honest Recruiter
Honest Recruiter is a part-time helper service operating islandwide across Singapore, covering HDB flats, condominiums, and landed properties. The listing is KakiList-verified, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person. It holds a 4.9/5 rating across 176 Google reviews, which is a robust sample and a strong positive signal. Pricing is indicated at the mid-range ($$) on an hourly model, though specific per-hour rates were not provided at time of listing — contact the provider directly to confirm current rates.
To get started, reach out via WhatsApp, phone, or the enquiry form to confirm your property type, the scope of work (regular weekly clean, one-off deep clean, post-renovation, or pre-move-in), and your preferred schedule. Clarify whether the minimum booking is 3 or 4 hours per session, whether equipment and cleaning supplies are provided or homeowner-supplied, and whether the same helper is assigned on a recurring basis. If a foreign helper is deployed, confirm that Honest Recruiter holds the relevant MOM cleaning business licence, as direct hire of foreign freelancers for part-time work is illegal and the penalty falls on the homeowner. Ask about public liability insurance and the substitute policy if your regular helper is unavailable.
To proceed, contact Honest Recruiter at their Orchard Road office via WhatsApp or phone to discuss your requirements and confirm the hourly rate, session minimum, and first available slot before making any payment.

Working with Honest Recruiter was a truly refreshing experience. They listened carefully, understood exactly what I needed, and remained sincere and transparent throughout the entire process. The helper candidates they recommended were spot‑on, making the whole journey smooth, effortless, and genuinely honest — just the way it should be. I’ve used various maid agencies over the past 20 years, and Honest Recruiter is by far the best I’ve ever worked with. After getting my own helper through them, I introduced Honest Recruiter to my in‑laws and my mom. They all had excellent experiences, too. In fact, word of mouth spread naturally — my mother‑in‑law’s church friend requested their services, and even my sister started referring others after seeing how well the helper cared for our elderly mother. Honest Recruiter didn’t just meet expectations; they earned the trust of my entire family.

Have approached Ren Hao before CNY for a permanent part time helper once a week to ease my household cleaning. Ren Hao was very professional, after understand my specific request, he strongly recommended Ms KSK to assist on my weekly cleaning within a short period of time. Ms KSK is from Myanmar, both my mother in law & I was very impressed with KSK during our first met. She can speak simple Chinese & English so it makes the communication very easy. Not only that, she knows her job well and try her very best to clean up the place even during her first visit. KSK also very good in her memory, she can remember most of the things I shared with her and try her very best to fulfil her task. Most important she is very initiative, independent & clean in her job. If you like me, just need a permanent part time helper, Honest Recruiter Pte Ltd is a good & reliable source for the head count. Both the company and helper are professional.

Testimonial for Honest Recruiter : I engaged Honest Recruiter 1.5 years ago to hire a Myanmar helper, and I have been very pleased with their service. Eric has been extremely patient, transparent with fees, and always prompt in his responses. One of the things I truly appreciate is that he personally arranged for the helper to be sent to my place, which is a great initiative as many employers have to take time to fetch their helpers themselves. Seeing how reliable and efficient Eric’s service is, my sister has also engaged Honest Recruiter twice for her helper changes. Thank you, Eric, for your professionalism and dedication. I highly recommend Honest Recruiter to anyone looking for a smooth and trustworthy hiring process!

I was introduced to Eric about a year ago by a friend who used his maid service when I had trouble with my previous helper. He is very professional and straightforward in giving the right advice based on the requirement given. He found my current helper for us in a short time and the process was transparent and I was well informed every step of the way. After going through some bad agencies I appreciate the professionalism Eric represented and it helped me to restore my confidence in engaging an agency again. Lately our helper had a family issue and needed back home, that would mean she will leave us and no more income for her family back in Indonesia. I asked Eric to help find a solution as my helper has been the best maid we have had so far and my kids have grown to love her as part of the family. Eric extended his help by talking to my helper's husband to figure out what's the best way to have her keep working in Singapore and in the meantime, her family is well taken care of. At the end, a solution was found and both my helper and my family are happy with the outcome. I normally don't leave reviews for maid agencies, even the worst one we had. But I am happily writing these words as I believe a good maid agency is very important because a helper is not only a worker to a family, its someone who lives with you and your family at your home every single day, you need an agency who can do their job and can be trust to help you find this person. And I believe Eric and his agency is the one up to that task. Thank you Eric!

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Honest Recruiter charge per session?›
Honest Recruiter uses an hourly pricing model, though specific rates were not published at time of listing. For reference, licensed part-time helper companies in Singapore typically charge S$18–25 per hour, with a minimum booking of 3–4 hours per session. One-off deep cleans generally run S$150–800 depending on property size; post-renovation cleans S$350–1,800; and pre-move-in cleans S$400–2,500. Confirm with Honest Recruiter whether equipment and cleaning supplies are included in the rate or provided by the homeowner, and whether a fixed quote is available for one-off jobs versus the hourly rate for recurring bookings. See the full part-time helper cost guide for Singapore →
Is it legal to hire a foreign part-time helper through Honest Recruiter?›
Foreign part-time helpers must be deployed through a MOM-licensed cleaning company — it is illegal under MOM rules to hire a foreign freelancer directly for part-time cleaning work, regardless of how the arrangement is advertised. The penalty for doing so falls on the homeowner: a fine of S$5,000–10,000 and a two-year ban on hiring any domestic helpers. Before booking, confirm that Honest Recruiter holds the relevant MOM cleaning business licence if foreign helpers are deployed. Singaporean and PR helpers can be engaged directly without these constraints, and no MOM cleaning licence is required in that case. If in doubt, ask Honest Recruiter directly about the legal status of the helpers they deploy and request sight of their licence before your first session.
What insurance and substitute policy does Honest Recruiter offer?›
Public liability insurance of at least S$500,000 is the standard for reputable part-time helper companies and covers damage to your property or belongings during a session. Ask Honest Recruiter for the policy number in writing so you can verify the coverage scope. On substitutes: helpers occasionally fall ill or take leave, and a reliable operator should be able to send a trained substitute within 24 hours rather than leaving your booking uncovered. Confirm whether Honest Recruiter operates a regular-helper model (the same person each visit) or a booking-pool model (different helpers assigned), as consistency is important for trust and familiarity with your home's layout and preferences. Raise both points before committing to a recurring schedule.
