Housekeeper Recruitment Across Switzerland
Home Staff Europe provides domestic staff recruitment services across European countries, including Switzerland. Our core specialisation is Filipino domestic staff living in Europe and English-speaking domestic staff across Europe.

Our experienced recruiters working with Swiss clients provide recruitment services for families living in key regions of Switzerland, including Geneva, Zurich, Zug, Lausanne, and other areas across the country where private households require qualified housekeepers.

We can help you find a professional housekeeper, either live-in or live-out, including candidates who are able to accompany the family when travelling to another country.

Our housekeepers have experience in caring for different types of surfaces, handling delicate and high-quality wardrobes, and providing reliable household support that families can truly depend on.

For us, it is essential to find the right housekeeper for each family. Depending on your requirements, we will help you select the most suitable and qualified candidate for your household’s needs.
How We Screen and Select Housekeepers for Private Families

We present housekeepers with previous experience working in private households, positive references, and a background that has been carefully reviewed by our agency.

Each candidate goes through a thorough screening process before being considered for placement. Our selection may include:

  • Knowledge and skills assessment
  • References from previous employers
  • Review of employment history
  • Document verification
  • Psychological profiling and personal suitability assessment

We place great importance not only on practical household skills, but also on reliability, discretion, consistency, and the ability to adapt to the standards and routines of a private home.

Housekeeper Recruitment Process in Switzerland
Request Review and Candidate Search
We begin by carefully discussing your requirements, expectations, household needs, schedule, and the profile of the nanny you are looking for.

Once the key details of the request have been agreed, a service agreement is signed between the client and the agency. After the agreement is signed, we begin the recruitment process using our own candidate network and internal database.

When selecting candidates, we take into account key criteria such as:
1. previous experience working in private households;
2. knowledge of cleaning standards and household maintenance;
3. ability to care for different types of surfaces and delicate materials;
4. experience in garment care, laundry, and wardrobe management, where required;
5. positive references from previous employers;
6. personal reliability, discretion, and sense of responsibility;
7. language skills, where required for the role.
Selection and Interview Process
At the first stage, we send you a selection of candidate profiles together with CVs and, where available, video introductions.

You review the candidates and choose those you would like to meet. We then arrange online interviews at a convenient time and fully coordinate the process.

After speaking with the candidates, you decide who is best suited to your family. Where necessary, we may carry out additional checks or further evaluation before moving to the next stage.

The selected candidate is then invited to proceed to the final stage of the recruitment process, which may include an in-person meeting and a trial period. If the trial period is successfully completed and both sides are satisfied, the candidate starts permanent work with the family.

The agency fee is paid after the selected candidate has successfully completed the trial period and begins permanent employment.
Start of Employment and Guarantee Support
Once the candidate starts working with the family, the employment agreement is concluded directly between the employer and the employee, where applicable and where the family provides such an arrangement.

Our work with the client does not end once the candidate starts. If, after the placement, the selected employee is not the right fit for any reason or the cooperation cannot continue, we provide a replacement following the same recruitment process as at the initial stage.

The number of replacements is unlimited within the guarantee period. The client may choose the guarantee period from several available options.
