Who we place

Three roles. We will tell you which one you need.

A japa is not a nurse. A nanny is not a japa. Getting this wrong is the most expensive mistake in this market.

The difference

Four things no other agency here will put in writing.

Everyone says “screened”. These are the four places that word usually turns out to mean nothing.

The usual way
Dear One
What you receive
A PDF résumé typed up by the agency
A written profile, every line labelled by what was checked
References
Rarely called, never written down
Two employers telephoned by us, and quoted to you
Who pays
Often a cut of her wages, quietly
₹0 ever taken from her salary
What is admitted
“Fully verified”
A written list of what we could not confirm

When an agency is paid only if you hire, nobody is paid to check anything — so nobody checks anything. We charge for the search itself. That is the whole reason we can afford to do it properly.

What we look for

The things that never appear on a résumé.

How we screen

Every line is labelled, or it doesn’t go in.

This is the profile a Worli family actually received. No agency in Mumbai shows you this, which is most of the reason we exist.

What we could not confirm

Employer 3 (2017–2019) has moved abroad and the number is unreachable. Police verification is submitted but not yet returned. We have not verified anything about her family or her finances, and we have not tested her for anything we do not list above.

Four labels, and what each one means
VerifiedWe saw the document ourselves, in original.
ReferenceWe telephoned a named person and wrote down what they said.
DeclaredShe told us, and signed to say it is true.
PendingRequested, not yet back. Dated, so you can see how long.

The last box is the one that matters. Every profile ends with what we could not confirm — and it is never empty.

Seven gates before a profile reaches you Screening is only worth something if it can fail someone. Most applicants do not get through.

What each gate fails people on
Screening reduces risk. It cannot remove it, and we will never tell you otherwise.

India has no national criminal-records database a private company may search. She becomes your employee, not ours — we present what we found, and we do not warrant her character. What screening cannot do →

That is how we screen. Shall we start?₹10,000 activates a 30-day search and up to three profiles, one at a time.
How it works

Four steps, and you can see all the money.

You always know what you have paid, what is left, and what triggers it.

  1. 1Day 0

    Tell us what you need

    A five-minute form. We telephone you within one working day to fill in the detail.

    Nothing to pay
  2. 2Day 1

    ₹10,000 starts the search

    Non-refundable, and adjusted in full against the final fee. The search then runs 30 days.

    ₹10,000
  3. 3Days 1–30

    Three profiles, one at a time

    You meet one before we release the next. Never a stack of PDFs to compare on paper.

    Nothing to pay
  4. 4Ten service days later

    Confirmed, then the balance

    Her salary is yours to pay from day one — this is work, not a free trial. The balance falls due once she has completed ten service days.

    One month’s salary, less ₹10,000
Fees

The whole fee is one month of the salary you agree with her.

Published, and the same for every family. There is no second invoice.

Search retainer₹10,000 Paid once, up front. Non-refundable, and it comes off the fee in full.
Balance on confirmationFee − ₹10,000 Due after she has completed ten service days — not before.
Her monthly salaryPaid by you Directly to her, from her first day. It never passes through us.
Charged to the professional₹0 Not a fee, not a deduction, not a cut. It is why better people work with us.

Worked example. You agree ₹40,000 a month with her. You pay us ₹10,000 to start, and ₹30,000 once she has worked ten days. Total to Dear One: ₹40,000. Nothing further, ever.

If she leaves within 30 days of starting, we run one replacement search at no further fee. Exclusive of GST where applicable; the full terms are in the agreement you sign before any payment.

Questions

Straight answers.

What if none of the three is right?

The search closes and the ₹10,000 is not refunded — it paid for screening three people, which we will have done in full. We say so before you pay. Our incentive is to get it right inside three, because the rest of the fee only arrives if someone stays.

Who employs the professional?

You do. You agree her terms, pay her directly and direct her work. We search, screen and introduce. We are not her employer and we take no cut of her pay.

Are your professionals “verified”?

They are carefully screened, and we choose that word deliberately. We interview, check identity and address, examine work history, telephone two references, and check nursing registration where it applies. Nobody in India can run a complete criminal record check, because no national database is open to private companies.

Are the first ten days a free trial?

No. She is paid from her first day, for every day she works. Ten service days is simply when the placement is confirmed and the balance falls due.

What if she leaves soon after starting?

Before ten service days, for reasons unconnected to you — the balance does not fall due and we resume the search. Shortly after confirmation — tell us within 48 hours and we run a replacement search.

Why one profile at a time?

Because paper flatters the wrong candidates. Meeting one person properly tells you more than reading three résumés, and it is fairer to the professionals waiting on an answer.
