Requirements differ by role — the job description governs.

Before you apply

Basic requirements

  • 18 or over, physically able to do the work
  • The language ability the role requires (Cantonese, Mandarin or English)
  • Relevant experience or qualifications; some trades need a valid licence
  • Valid travel document and ability to meet scheme and immigration requirements

Applicants differ by scheme: several schemes are employer-led, so a job seeker does not apply directly.

Stay safe

Four things to settle before signing

1. Fees
Every fee should come with a written explanation and a receipt. If someone asks for money before naming the job, check with us first.
2. Contract
Wages, hours, rest days, accommodation and deductions — go through each item and ask when unclear.
3. Documents
Keep your passport and ID yourself. Do not hand them to anyone to "hold".
4. Is the job real?
Ask for the job description and the employer's details. A vague offer is not worth a signature.
