About I-Hunting
I-Hunting is a domestic help agency operating islandwide from its office at 1 Scotts Rd, #24-10, Singapore 228208, specialising in the placement of foreign domestic workers. It has been verified by KakiList and holds a 4.8/5 rating across 23 Google reviews — a moderate sample that suggests consistent client experience, though prospective clients should weigh this alongside other due diligence. Pricing is package-based; specific placement fees are not publicly listed and should be confirmed directly with the agency.
When engaging a maid agency in Singapore, the key steps are to verify the agency's MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence — which is legally required and searchable on MOM's online EA directory — and to review the EA Grading (A+ to C) before committing. I-Hunting should be able to provide its licence number on request; this should appear on all contracts and invoices. Once you establish fit, the agency will present helper profiles from source countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, or Sri Lanka. Expect to discuss the helper's monthly salary (typically S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience), the monthly 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), the mandatory Settling-In Programme, and the replacement guarantee window. Confirm whether mandatory FDW insurance, medical examination, and Work Permit application costs are bundled into the package fee or billed separately.

5 star and more for I-hunting!! So happy with the service provided by Taz and her ability to curate profiles to help my family find a helper that checks all my non-negotiables. Before engaging I-hunting, I contacted many other agencies and received many biodatas. Also looked through netmaid and interviewed over 20 helpers - none were the right fit. Taz then sent me one profile that seemed perfect (vs other agencies that mass sends profiles without checking my needs). Had a chat with the potential candidate and by the 4th question I knew she’s the right fit for my family. Taz even came down personally to my place to make sure everything’s okay when my helper arrived. Very happy with my helper and Taz for her expertise in matching employers with the right profiles. Highly recommend I-hunting!

I've engaged this Taz twice now to help me find a domestic helper, and both experiences have been smooth and reliable. Her fees are reasonable, with no surprise charges, and her service is responsive and straightforward. She’s practical, patient, and doesn’t pressure you into rushing decisions. What I appreciated most was her transparency—she shares clear details about the helpers and helps manage expectations on both sides. Even after placement, she remains contactable for questions or follow-up. Overall, a dependable and trustworthy agent I wouldn't hesitate to recommend if you're looking for someone fuss-free and helpful!

I have had approached more than 5 agencies for helper before I came across I-Hunting. In the process of finding a helper through I-HUNTING, Taz made the extra effort to ensure that the helper would be a good fit to us and vice-versa. Where there are possible gaps in meeting my expectation, Taz will be explicit to highlight them and propose workaround. She will also talk to the candidates again and again to check and prepare them. If it is not a good fit, Taz will not hesitate to highlight to us and rather not close the deal. When the helper is confirmed and in SG, she makes the effort to check in with us and the helper at the initial phase whether everything is okay and help to mitigate if there is any potential issue. Through how Taz interact with her helper and what she can tell me about them, it is clear to me that she knows her helper more than just a name and what is written on their profile. My experience with I-HUNTING is a huge contrast of experience I had with other agencies that just want to close the deal fast, earn the bucks and move on. Much less want to check in with employer and helper how are things going. My brother, my father and I have engaged a helper from I-HUNTING ever since.

I am surprised to see a review of one person, which had given such bad review regarding Taz, which all my relatives and friends had great and smooth dealing with Taz. There was no issue when we were communicating with Taz during hiring to onbarding the helper. Even after sales service, she has excellence follow up with me, if there is any issue. I wish to compliment Taz from I Huntung, who is very professional in sourcing helper for me and even my siblings, cousins and friends. She will personally understand the family nuclear and based on our needs, match the most suitable profile of the helper for us. My last helper came in had a few issues with my old mother and she wanted to quite from my house umpteen times. Taz was diligently giving counselling and mediation for us to make it work between employer and helper. In the end my helper stayed for 4 years and we have becomes friends, and now we are still in contact. Great thanks to Taz in her professionalism for trying her best in every case to make the working relationship works out. She truly understands the issue employer n helper face. I will continue to be a long term repeated client of Taz as long as I need a helper, because I only trust Taz in my hiring of helper.

I have had a fantastic experience working with i-hunting and Taz during the helper hiring process. I am new to Singapore and this is my first time hiring a helper in Singapore. Taz has made it effortless and our helper is a great fit to the needs of my family. Taz was able to do this because she understands my needs, cares about the what suits best for both me and the helper. She also goes out of her way to helping our helper settling in, and helping me find my way around in the beginning. I would strongly recommend i-Hunting and Taz.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does I-Hunting charge?›
I-Hunting uses a package pricing model; exact placement fees are not publicly listed and must be confirmed directly. As a reference, placement fees for a new hire typically run S$1,500–3,500 at Singapore agencies, while a transfer helper (already in Singapore on a current Work Permit) usually costs S$500–1,500. Beyond the placement fee, budget for your helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience), the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard or S$60 concessionary), mandatory FDW insurance (approximately S$300–600 per year), and the Settling-In Programme. Confirm in writing which of these are bundled into the quoted package and which are billed on top. See the full Maid Agencies cost guide for Singapore →
Is I-Hunting MOM-licensed?›
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 contracts and invoices. I-Hunting's regulatory licences are not listed in KakiList's records at the time of this listing — verify the licence directly with the agency and cross-check it on the MOM EA directory before paying any deposit. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; agencies graded A+ or A have demonstrated stronger compliance and complaint-handling track records. Ask I-Hunting for its current EA Grading when you call. Hiring through an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if a placement breaks down, and can void your FDW insurance. Verify the 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 I-Hunting offer?›
Replacement guarantees at Singapore agencies typically cover a window of six months from the helper's arrival date, with one or two replacements included in the original package fee. Clarify with I-Hunting exactly what triggers a valid replacement claim — documented mismatch or performance issues — versus what voids the guarantee, such as the employer making unreasonable demands or the helper leaving through no fault of the agency. Also confirm the early-termination process if a placement breaks down outside the guarantee window. The costs of a repatriation flight, unused levy refund, and Work Permit cancellation paperwork typically fall on the household in those circumstances, and knowing this upfront avoids disputes later. Get the replacement terms, the refund policy, and the early-termination process in writing before signing the agency contract.
