How to Start up an Employment Agency

by Alice Sy

If you are on the lookout for a new business to establish in Hong Kong, why not consider putting up an employment agency, particularly a domestic helper agency. The potential of a business like this is big especially now that the demand for housemaids in HK is high. Should you feel interested in getting into this type of business, here are some of the things to consider:

Take a look at your budget. No business can be established without a capital. There will be a need to buy some equipment and materials, and employ people who will make up your staff.

Observe the movements of your business rivals. Try to do your best in coming up with a competitive business. Draw out information on how much they charge and based on that, set up your own rating system.

Find out what legal documents you need to process. One of the obligations that will be required by the law from you is to obtain all the necessary permits and licenses. You’ll have to know where to get these documents, how and what you should present for the processing.

Make a decision on where your location will be. Remember that your business location should be convenient not just for you but for the applicants as well who will be interested to process an application with you. If your home is in a good location, you can consider putting up your office there to save money and time.

Apply for a dedicated phone line. As much as possible, this phone should only be used for business purposes. Keep it open for your clients and applicants. You can also choose to divert the calls to your residential phone after working hours. Hiring an answering service is also a good idea or you can simply install a voice mail or an answering machine to resolve this.

Establish your marketing strategy. You can hire marketers or post announcements on different classified ads offline and online to get clients. You can also tell your employees that they will be given a reward for each referral that they make.

Job orders should be continuous; lest, you won’t have anything to offer to your applicants. The more job orders there are means more business, and more business means more income and more help you can give to those people who need jobs.
