Introductions<\/h3>\n<p>We will assist in arranging video interviews and, where possible, in-person meetings. Video calls are encouraged as a way of saving time and costs for both parties.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 6: Final Selection &amp; Vetting<\/h3>\n<p>Once you have selected your preferred candidate following interviews, we initiate full vetting on that candidate.\u00a0 This includes reference checks, social media screening, criminal record checks and verifications of identity, education and driver&#8217;s license where applicable.\u00a0 While every effort is made to provide prompt service, local vetting may take up to 7 days, while international checks may take up to 30 days.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 7: Caregiver Preparation and Readiness<\/h3>\n<p>Before placement, we conduct a dedicated preparaton session with the selected caregiver.\u00a0 This session focusses on understanding your family&#8217;s specific needs, routines and expectations, and includes our Caregiver Work Readiness Programme, designed to support a smoother, more aligned transition into your home.<\/p>\n<p>Where required, this preparation can be adapted for elderly care or other special needs environments.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 8: Employment Preparation<\/h3>\n<p>We prepare a tailored employment contract based on your specific requirements and mutual agreement, and facilitate the signing process.\u00a0 We also assist with UIF registration and provide onboarding guidance to support a smooth start.<\/p>\n<p>This process supports accruate record-keeping for UIF and SARS requirements, making annual tax submissions and (disability) claims more manageable.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 9: Start of Employment &amp; Final Payment<\/h3>\n<p>The caregiver begins work on the agreed start date.
