The non-obvious things that make the difference between a great hire and a frustrating one.
A warm referral is not the same as a verified background check. Always use a platform that independently verifies Aadhaar and police records.
Before you search, write down exactly what you need — duties, timings, salary, languages and any specific requirements. A clear brief attracts the right matches.
Always meet a helper before hiring. Even a 30-minute visit tells you more about fit and manner than any profile ever can.
A 7–15 day paid trial gives both parties time to assess fit before committing to a longer arrangement — and reduces friction if it isn't working.
Even a one-page written agreement covering duties, salary, timings and notice period protects both you and your helper from misunderstandings later.
If a hire doesn't work out, don't give up — use your platform's replacement support. A poor first hire is common; it doesn't mean the right helper doesn't exist.
