An agency's fee is usually equivalent to roughly one month's salary. At Maids & Co you pay nothing until the selection is complete: it includes the full selection process, interviews and reference checks. It may vary for temporary placements.

We present the first verified profiles in under 3 hours from the moment you share your needs; very specific profiles can take up to 48 hours. Every candidate has been personally interviewed by our team and has verified references.

A placement agency like Maids & Co verifies references, checks documentation, conducts interviews and, in Madrid, Barcelona and Marbella, offers a free replacement within the first 6 months. Hiring on your own means taking on that process and the risk of getting it wrong.

Yes, from day one. The employer must formalise a written contract and register the employee in the Social Security Special System for Domestic Employees. Non-compliance carries penalties. We advise you throughout the administrative process.

We offer a free replacement within the first 6 months if the person leaves or doesn't settle in, in Madrid, Barcelona and Marbella. And wherever you are, if you're not satisfied during the first month, we refund 50% of the fee.
