About Jlk Employment Services
Jlk Employment Services is a domestic helper placement agency operating islandwide from its Stirling Road office in Queenstown. The listing is KakiList-verified, meaning operating details and contact channels have been confirmed by a real person. It holds a 5/5 rating across 80 Google reviews, a moderate sample size that provides reasonable directional confidence. No ACRA registration or MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence has been confirmed in the data provided, which are standard requirements for agencies placing foreign domestic workers in Singapore — prospective clients should verify both before engaging.
The typical journey with a maid agency begins by deciding between a new-hire helper and a transfer helper, as placement fees and timelines differ. New-hire placement typically costs S$1,500–3,500 and involves sourcing from Indonesia, the Philippines, Myanmar, or Sri Lanka, while a transfer helper (already in Singapore on a valid Work Permit) is usually faster and less costly at S$500–1,500. Beyond the placement fee, households should budget for the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience), the monthly MOM levy (S$300 standard, or S$60 concessionary for households with a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability), mandatory FDW insurance, and the Settling-In Programme. Confirm which of these are bundled into the quoted package and which are billed separately.
To take the next step, contact Jlk Employment Services by phone or via the enquiry form, and before paying any deposit, verify the agency's MOM EA Licence number on the MOM online EA directory.

Highly recommend JLK Employment Services! They were extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Always ready to answer questions, give advice, and even helped us communicate with the helper before she arrived. They sent only relevant biodatas, explained everything clearly, and handled all paperwork quickly. Our helper arrived well-prepared and has been wonderful. Great after-service too, they reply fast 🤗 Super helpful and stress-free from start to finish. Thank you very much Ms Eve for your help ☺️

Had a good experience finding a helper from Carmen for my mum. Carmen took care to understand our needs. My mum's helper was a good choice from the start and we are blessed to know Carmen and to secure a reliable helper through her.

I have used JLK for a long time way before 2010. Her services were very reliable and price reasonable. I know I could count on her. Every time I have new enquiries, she served without hesitation, resolving my queries first with reasonable charges. Would strongly recommend her for those looking for good helpers.

I’ve been engaging JLK Employment Services for over 10 years, and they remain the only agency I trust for domestic helper placements. Every maid they’ve matched me with has worked long-term with my family — a true testament to their excellent screening and matching process. I’d like to especially commend Carmen and her sales team for their outstanding service. From our very first interaction, Carmen was professional, prompt, and genuinely attentive. She took the time to understand our household needs and provided thoughtful advice that helped us identify the right qualities and skills we should look for in a helper. Thanks to their guidance, we were matched with a skilled, reliable, and kind-hearted maid who has exceeded our expectations. The entire hiring process was smooth and stress-free, and it’s clear the team at JLK is deeply committed to client satisfaction. I highly recommend JLK Employment Services to anyone seeking trustworthy and competent domestic help. Thank you once again to Carmen and the team for your unwavering dedication and exceptional service. — Kath and Family

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does Jlk Employment Services charge?›
Placement fees at a maid agency typically run S$1,500–3,500 for a new-hire helper sourced from overseas, or S$500–1,500 for a transfer helper already in Singapore. Confirm exactly what is bundled — mandatory FDW insurance (roughly S$300–600 per year), the Settling-In Programme, medical examination, and Work Permit application are sometimes included and sometimes billed on top. Beyond the one-time placement fee, the ongoing costs include the helper's monthly salary (S$550–800 depending on nationality and experience) and the MOM monthly levy (S$300 standard rate, or the S$60 concessionary rate if your household has a child under 16, an elderly member aged 67 or above, or a person with disability).

Is Jlk Employment Services MOM-licensed?›
Every legitimate maid agency must hold a MOM Employment Agency (EA) Licence, which is publicly verifiable on MOM's online EA directory by agency name or licence number. The licence number should appear on the agency's website, contracts, and invoices. No MOM EA Licence has been confirmed in the data available for Jlk Employment Services — prospective clients should request this number directly and cross-check it on the MOM directory before paying any deposit. EA Grading runs from A+ to C; A+ and A agencies have stronger compliance and complaint-handling records. Engaging an unlicensed agent is illegal, leaves you with no recourse if issues arise, and can void your FDW insurance. The 5/5 rating across 80 Google reviews is encouraging but does not substitute for licence verification. 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 Jlk Employment Services offer?›
The standard industry replacement window is typically six months from the helper's arrival date. Confirm how many replacements are included within that window, what circumstances void the guarantee (for example, documented mismatch versus general dissatisfaction), and what the cost of any additional replacement beyond the guaranteed number would be. Also clarify the early-termination process before committing. If the placement breaks down outside the guarantee window, the household is responsible for the helper's repatriation flight, Work Permit cancellation paperwork, and any unused levy refund process through MOM. Understanding these costs upfront avoids surprises later. Ask Jlk Employment Services to provide the replacement and early-termination terms in writing as part of the agency contract before signing.
