Important Topics and Questions for Housemaid Interview

 

Housemaid is an indispensable need today. Everyone wants to hire a reliable, responsible and trained homemaid who can take on the responsibility to carry day-to-day essentials tasks to keep the home well-maintained and hygienic. However, appointing such a maid is not an easy task and demands the investment of time, efforts and a set of important questions to put forth while interviewing a candidate for the role.   

The best platform to hire home maids, nurses for elderly care and nannies are globally recognised one such as mud (MadeUrDay) that enlists authenticated staff-providing agencies. Whatever the source of hiring be, we should always be prepared with a budget and an array of questions to be asked by the candidate to get detailed information about the experience and perception of the maid before hiring. Here, we have listed a few important questions that must not be ignored while interviewing your candidate.  

Ask the candidate to introduce yourself and share your hobbies and experience.

Before starting an interview, you must always introduce yourself and break the ice. Once, the homemaid becomes comfortable, ask about his/her experience, skills and interests. A well-experienced maid will give a good list of tasks he/she is expert in and that will make you get an idea about his/her competences and whether or not it is relevant to your expectations.  The hobbies and interests will help you get an idea of how the maid is going to behave with you & family, the punctuality, the hygiene, etc.  

Give any random situation and ask about the response

Give any random situation that if an elderly parent needs extra care sometimes or if someone feels sick, or if the child drops something on the floor & makes it dirty, what will be the reaction and how will you deal. The answer will get you a clue about the responsibility-level, patience and experience of the candidate.  

Ask the most remarkable accomplishment in the role of housemaid

Put forth this question, wait for some minute and take note of the answer. This will help you reveal the candidate’s lifestyle, personality and seriousness towards the job.  

Casually ask the candidate to define his/her views about house cleaning

Casually put your views about the housekeeping and ask the same from the candidate. In this way, you will tell about your expectations and get an idea about the responsibilities the candidate is ready to take on. 

Ask if the candidate has some additional expertise

Answers to this question will help you discover the plus points which may let you hire a bonanza candidate who may help in extraordinary times or take on additional responsibilities.  

Ask about the Salary Expectation

You must ask about the candidate’s salary expectation and confirm what is important - salary or contentment from the job. This way you will get to know about salary expectations alongside the other expectations the candidate may have from you. 

Confirm the Work method- part-time or full time or both

Before hiring someone as a housemaid, confirm the work method. Ask the candidate whether he/she wants to be appointed for a part-time or full-time basis or if both are convenient. Considering the answer, select the candidate. 

While introducing yourself to the applicant, make sure to tell them about the numbers and ages of your family members. At the same time, discuss with them the job responsibility and the type of work you expect from them such as floor cleaning, kitchen countertops cleaning, walls washing, laundering, ironing, etc.

Whether it's China, Italy or India, it has been witnessed that the novel corona virus contaminates the elderly people and the young ones the most.  Two primary reasons contribute to this age-specific corona virus contamination viz. Immunity and Self-Healing powers.  It is a science-based fact that immunity reduces with the increase in age and the newborns also have low immunity power.  DNA is a genetic element that monitors most functions of the human body, however, it behaves sluggishly in newborns and elderly and so does not quickly & successfully go up against alien particles that enter the body.
