Finding Your Helper with AI: sg-maid-search's Smart Guide to Effortless Hiring!

In Singapore, many families need a domestic helper – whether they are dual-income households with no time for housework, homes with infants or toddlers needing care, or elderly parents requiring companionship. But finding the right helper can be tough. It often takes several evenings to browse agency websites, sift through many candidate profiles, compare skills, and factor in the budget.

sg-maid-search makes this easier. It's a free AI tool: you just tell it what you need, and it filters suitable candidates for you, showing them in clear, organized results.

This article has two parts. First, we'll explain what it can do for you. Then, we'll give you a step-by-step guide on how to install and use it.

Part One: What sg-maid-search Can Do for You

Direct Conversation, Precise Filtering

To use it, simply tell the AI what you're looking for, and it will start searching.

For example, you can say:

"Help me find a Filipino helper who can cook Chinese food, with a budget of SGD 600 to 700, and has experience caring for infants."

The AI will automatically turn your request into search criteria, then find and list suitable candidates.

Supported filtering criteria include:

For skill filtering, there are two levels of precision: willing and experienced. This is helpful when you're looking for someone to care for infants or the elderly, as there's a big difference between having experience and just being willing to try.

Unsure of Your Needs? AI Guides You to Clarify

If you simply say "I need a helper" without providing specific requirements, the AI won't just show you too many candidates. Instead, it will ask questions to help you clarify what you're looking for. After a few rounds of conversation, the AI will then search based on your refined needs.

Clear Presentation of Each Candidate

The AI will clearly organize and display each candidate's information:

• Basic Information: Age, Nationality, Religion, Languages, Monthly Salary, Loan Amount and Duration, Education Level, Marital Status, Monthly Rest Days, Singapore Experience, Interview Method
• Skill Assessment (Singapore Agency Assessment): Infant/child care, elderly care, care for persons with disabilities, general housework, cooking – each item shows "✅ Experienced", "✅ Willing", or "❌ Not Willing", and preferred cuisines will be listed.
• Skill Assessment (Overseas Agency Assessment): This section has the same structure but shows assessments from overseas training centers.
• Work Experience: Countries worked in, roles, start and end dates.
• Personal Profile Link: Click here to see the full profile on the official Sunrise Link website.

To protect privacy, you'll need to contact a Sunrise Link recruitment consultant to get candidates' names and contact details. You can click the profile link to arrange an interview or contact the agency for further steps.

Three Typical Usage Scenarios

Scenario One: Precise Search

"Find me an Indonesian helper with Singapore work experience, who can speak English and Chinese, with a budget not exceeding SGD 650."

The AI will directly search and then show suitable candidates.

Scenario Two: Vague Requirements, Guided Questions

"My family needs to hire a helper."

The AI will start asking questions: Do you have children at home? Do you need cooking? What is your budget? It will then gradually gather details before searching.

Scenario Three: Suggestions When No Results Are Found

If your filtering criteria are too strict and finds no matches, the AI won't just say "no results". It will suggest how to broaden your search – for example, increasing your budget, removing nationality restrictions, or expanding from "experienced" to "willing" – and give you a link to Sunrise Link if you want to ask the agency for personalized recommendations.

Part Two: How to Install and Use

You can use sg-maid-search on any platform that supports agent skills. Here, however, we'll only cover how to install and use it on Claude Desktop. Once it's installed, the AI will automatically recognize and use this feature in your conversations.
