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.

Why we exist

This is what “the usual way” actually looks like.

One family. Ten weeks. Eight résumés forwarded on WhatsApp, four people tried, none kept — and by the end they had already let their previous help go.

Week 1Eight résumés arrive Forwarded as PDFs. Nothing on any of them has been checked against a document, an employer or a record.
Week 2The first one starts She is warm, and she is wrong for a newborn. Gone within days.
Weeks 3–5Two more are tried One does not answer her phone. One lasts three days.
Week 6There is no going back The help you already had has been let go. The house is now running on nobody.
Week 10Still searching Four people tried. None kept. The same agency, sending the same PDFs.
And then it starts again

The difference

We verify before you meet her. Not after you have let someone go.

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 why we can afford to do it properly.

We will also tell you what we could not confirm.

India has no national criminal-records database a private company may search. Anyone promising you a complete criminal check is overstating it.

  • Every profile ends with “What we could not confirm.”
  • We present findings. We do not warrant character.
  • She is your employee, not ours.

Screening reduces risk. It cannot remove it, and we will never tell you otherwise.

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.
