The people, city by city

Not stock photos — the actual people looking for work in each city right now. Meet any of them on a free video call; optional checks are available if you want them.

What you're hiring for

Six kinds of help. One process.

Whoever you're hiring, the pipeline is identical: intro video, masked interview, police check, contract.

The process

Start to finish, documented.

Hiring someone who'll be inside your home for years deserves more care than a classifieds site. Meetings are free — you pay a one-time commission only when you hire.

Video-interview on a masked call

Pick a slot from the helper's own availability. The call runs inside househelp — numbers stay masked on both sides, and a coordinator can join to translate.

We verify & document

Before keys change hands: station-level police verification in the helper's home district, Aadhaar KYC, and the interstate compliance pack when the helper comes from another state.

Why the interview comes first

Built for the part classifieds skip

Anyone can show you a list of names. The hard part is what happens between "looks promising" and handing over a key — so that's the part we built.

You never exchange numbers

Interviews run inside househelp on masked calls — neither side sees a phone number until you actually hire. A coordinator joins free to translate, and the recording is kept 30 days as dispute evidence.

If anyone asks to take it off-platform, report it — we step in.

FAQ

The questions everyone asks

Who pays the helper's salary?

You do, directly — cash, UPI, whatever you both agree. We never sit in the middle of wages. Our only fee is the one-time 15% placement commission when you hire.

What does househelp actually charge?

Browsing and interviewing are free, including the translator-coordinator. When you hire, you pay 15% of the first month's salary, once. Add-ons — police verification (₹499), interstate compliance (₹799), HelpCare Plus (₹199/mo) — are optional and offered in-flow, never upfront.

Do helpers pay anything to join?

No. Charging workers for placement is how this industry got broken, and we refuse to do it. Helpers join free, keep 100% of their salary, and get salary slips and attendance records that build a work history.

What exactly gets verified?

Aadhaar KYC at onboarding for everyone. If you order police verification, a station-level antecedent check runs in the helper's home district with a written report to you in 5–7 days. Where past employers exist, we call references and mark them verified on the profile.

Why are calls masked and recorded?

Phone numbers stay hidden on both sides until you actually hire, so nobody can take the deal off-platform and lose the protections. Recordings are kept for 30 days and double as dispute evidence. If a helper asks to move off-platform, report it and we step in.

What if it doesn't work out?

With HelpCare Plus, you get a free replacement within 60 days. Without it, meetings for a re-hire are still free — you only pay the commission again if you hire someone new. A meeting that goes nowhere costs nothing either way.

Which cities are you live in?

Gurgaon, Delhi and Noida today. Elsewhere you'll see an honest waitlist, not an empty list dressed up as inventory — we verify helpers in person, city by city. Early-city members get their first police verification free at launch.

Can I cancel HelpCare Plus?

Anytime, from your Account — it runs to the end of the billing month and stops. No lock-in, no cancellation call, no retention dance.
