For employers

Browsing, saving and contacting agencies is free. Agencies pay to list, so every profile has a licensed agency standing behind it.

  • onehelper search results, each helper with her confirmation date and expected salary

    Many agencies, one search

    Helpers from every licensed agency in one list, ordered by real experience: need elderly care, and helpers whose work history shows years of it come first.

  • Top of a helper's profile: the agency's name, its employment agency licence and a Verified mark

    Licensed agencies only

    Each agency is checked against the Labour Department's list of licensed agencies before its helpers go live.

  • The onehelper app's home screen: find a helper who fits your home, with the search box and chosen filters

    Listings kept fresh

    Agencies must re-confirm a helper is still available; listings that aren't re-confirmed are hidden.

  • The filter sheet: sort, nationality and start date

    Filter by what you need

    Nationality, skills, languages, salary and start date, set once. Write anything else, like "we have a dog, must speak Cantonese", and it becomes a filter too.

  • A helper's profile: agency appraisal, languages and skill ratings

    Appraisals and ratings

    Read the agency's appraisal of each helper; only employers who contacted an agency can rate it, and ratings are checked before they're published.

A helper joins your home

So every profile should come from a licensed agency you can check. Most Hong Kong families live in buildings like these; trust starts at the first step.

For agencies

Enter once, use everywhere

Enter a helper's biodata once. onehelper makes the biodata PDF with your logo and a share link, and employers see her in the app.

Upload, don't retype

Upload biodata PDFs or a JSON file. Every converted field is checked against the PDF's own text, so you only look at the fields that are marked, then submit.

WhatsApp enquiries with a code

Employers WhatsApp you in one tap. Each message carries an enquiry code, so you know which helper they mean.

Clear billing you can dispute

Pay per lead or per listing. Every lead is listed with its date and code, and you can dispute one that shouldn't count.

How onehelper compares

Hong Kong families hire helpers in a few common ways, each with its strengths. onehelper puts many licensed agencies in one place and keeps the agency handling the contract and the visa.
