Screening Step 5
The right match stays.
Retention is built on compatibility. We document work preferences, expectations, and household fit before placement, so both sides start on honest terms.
What ends placements early
Placements most often end early when expectations are mismatched: unclear responsibilities, incompatible household routines, or work conditions that don't fit the professional. When a placement ends early, both the family and the professional lose time, stability, and trust.
The solution is deliberate matching: a professional whose preferences, capabilities, and expectations genuinely align with the household's actual needs, before day one.
What we assess
During screening, we document each candidate's work preferences, boundaries, and expectations, so we can match them accurately.
Employment History Patterns
Duration of past positions, reasons for leaving, and what they valued or found difficult. Patterns reveal compatibility better than promises.
Task Preferences
Specific tasks they're comfortable with and those they prefer not to perform. Honest disclosure before placement prevents conflict after.
Living Arrangement Preferences
Live-in vs. live-out preference, day-off expectations, proximity to family. These practical factors directly affect retention.
Household Environment Fit
Comfort with pets, number of household members, presence of children or elderly, cultural or dietary considerations. We match on documented compatibility.
Long-Term Goals
Career aspirations, savings goals, plans to return to province. Understanding what motivates a candidate helps predict whether a placement will last.
Communication Style
Language preferences, comfort with direct feedback, experience working with different family structures. Communication compatibility is often the hidden factor in successful placements.
Compatibility assessment + psychological screening
Work preference profiling tells us what a candidate wants. The Manila Doctors Hospital psychological assessment assesses stress tolerance, interpersonal dynamics, and the emotional demands of household work. Together, they create a placement profile that reads long-term fit as well as day-one readiness.
This matching discipline is part of why 70% of tracked placements reach at least six months — and it works alongside the Six-Month Protection Standard™. Better matching at the start means fewer replacements later.
Bilateral protection
Compatibility assessment protects both sides. Families get a professional whose preferences align with their household. Professionals get a workplace where they can be satisfied, stay long-term, and earn fairly. This is the Human+ principle in practice — dignity and stability for everyone involved.
Work compatibility is one step in our complete screening process.
