Hire a Couple in 24h

Lighthouse Careers operates on a success-fee model with no upfront costs when you hire a Couple in Singapore. You only pay our placement fee once we successfully place the right candidates in your household. This fee is typically equivalent to one month of the couple's combined salary. There are no registration fees, search fees, or charges for our initial consultation and candidate shortlisting process. This approach ensures we're fully committed to finding you the perfect Couple Singapore match.

Our typical placement timeline for a Couple Singapore position is 1-2 weeks from initial consultation to final placement. We deliver your first shortlist of qualified candidates within 24 hours of receiving your requirements. The timeline can vary depending on your specific needs, such as language requirements, specialized skills, or immediate start dates. Our extensive network of pre-vetted couples in Singapore allows us to move quickly while maintaining our high standards.

When hiring a Couple Singapore, look for complementary skills such as housekeeping and cooking, childcare and maintenance, or butler service and personal assistance. Essential qualifications include relevant experience in luxury households, excellent references, language proficiency (English and potentially Mandarin), and valid work permits for Singapore. Many couples also have specialized training in areas like fine dining service, luxury car maintenance, or estate management. Cultural sensitivity and discretion are crucial given Singapore's diverse, high-net-worth community.

Our comprehensive vetting process includes thorough background checks, employment verification, and detailed reference checks from previous employers. We conduct skills assessments relevant to each couple's specialties, verify all certifications and training, and ensure valid work authorization for Singapore. Each candidate undergoes personality profiling and cultural fit assessment. We also verify health clearances and conduct in-person interviews to assess professionalism, communication skills, and suitability for ultra-high-net-worth households in Singapore.

Yes, we provide a comprehensive replacement guarantee for all Couple Singapore placements. If the placement doesn't work out within the first 90 days due to performance issues or incompatibility, we will replace the couple at no additional charge. This guarantee reflects our confidence in our vetting process and commitment to your satisfaction. We also provide ongoing support during the initial placement period to ensure smooth integration into your household routine.

Yes, Singapore has specific requirements for hiring domestic staff. Couples must have valid work permits (typically Work Permit or S Pass depending on qualifications and salary). Employers must provide adequate accommodation, medical insurance, and comply with Ministry of Manpower regulations. We handle all documentation and ensure compliance with local labor laws. Singapore's multicultural environment also means considering language requirements and cultural compatibility, which we factor into our Couple Singapore matching process.

Our comprehensive service includes initial consultation to understand your requirements, candidate sourcing and vetting, delivery of shortlisted profiles within 24 hours, interview coordination, reference verification, and contract negotiation assistance. We also provide guidance on Singapore's employment regulations, salary benchmarking, and ongoing support during the placement period. Our service extends to helping with work permit applications and ensuring smooth onboarding of your chosen Couple Singapore.

Getting started is simple and commitment-free. Contact us for an initial consultation where we'll discuss your household needs, preferred arrangements, and specific requirements for your Couple Singapore position. We'll provide salary guidance and timeline expectations. Once we understand your needs, we begin sourcing immediately and deliver your first shortlist within 24 hours. There are no upfront fees, so you can explore your options risk-free before making any commitments.

Couple Singapore salaries vary based on experience, skills, and responsibilities. Entry-level couples typically earn SGD 3,000-4,500 combined monthly, while experienced couples with specialized skills can command SGD 5,000-8,000+ monthly. Factors affecting salary include language abilities, previous luxury household experience, specialized training, and specific skill combinations. Live-in arrangements may include accommodation and meals as part of the package. We provide detailed salary benchmarking based on your specific requirements and current market conditions.

The choice depends on your household needs and property setup. Live-in arrangements are common for Couple Singapore positions, especially for larger households requiring round-the-clock service or families with young children. This typically includes private quarters within your residence. Live-out arrangements work well if you prefer more privacy or have limited accommodation space. Live-in couples often provide better availability for evening events and travel, while live-out arrangements may offer more work-life balance for the staff.

Travel requirements vary by household, but many ultra-high-net-worth families in Singapore do require their couples to accompany them on domestic and international trips. This might include maintaining vacation homes, providing service during business travel, or ensuring continuity of childcare routines. When you hire a Couple Singapore through us, we discuss travel expectations upfront and match you with candidates comfortable with your travel requirements. Valid passports and travel flexibility are essential qualifications we verify during our vetting process.

We recommend a 2-4 week trial period for Couple Singapore placements to ensure mutual compatibility. During this time, both parties can assess the working relationship and household fit. Employment contracts should clearly outline duties, working hours, salary, benefits, and termination clauses in compliance with Singapore's employment laws. We assist with contract preparation and ensure all terms meet local regulatory requirements. Our replacement guarantee provides additional security during the initial placement period, giving you confidence in your hiring decision.
