we devote more time and effort to recruiting

qualified cleaning personnel

We look forward to meeting with you

to discuss a career opportunity at CUSTOM MAIDS.

Do You Make The Grade?

Much depends on your "CHARACTER."

DO YOU POSSESS A STRONG WORK ETHIC? 

​

RESIDENTIAL CLEANING IS PHYSICALLY DEMANDING WORK.  It is only suitable for those who truly enjoy labour-intensive employment.

DO YOU HAVE A STRONG SERVICE ORIENTATION?

​

RESIDENTIAL CLEANING IS ABOUT PLEASING A VERY DISCERNING CLIENTELE.  It is only appropriate for those with a very strong "desire to serve others" and a willingness to go beyond  the "call of duty" in order to satisfy their clients.

ARE YOU A CONTINUOUS LEARNER?

​

RESIDENTIAL CLEANING IS A SKILLED TRADE.  It is only fitting for those with a genuine interest in continuously improving their skills.

 

Regardless of how many years of experience you may have, all new recruits are required to complete the CUSTOM MAIDS HOUSEKEEPER TRAINING PROGRAM (involving classroom and practical components). Only those who successfully complete the CUSTOM MAIDS Training are added to our staff.

 

Once employed, our standards are maintained through an ongoing program of training and supervision. Staff-members are expected to continuously improve their techniques, time management skills and knowledge of cleaning products.

 

At  CUSTOM MAIDS, we are all "learners."  We want to get better and better, month after month, year after year. We have no place for "anointed individuals" who already "know it all."

To us, the ideal candidate for employment is one who comes to us with years of prior cleaning experience and verifiable references.

 

However, if you feel that you have the necessary "character" for the position, we encourage you to submit your candidature.

 

We can not make promises . . .

but we are open to exploring the potential of all candidates who possess the qualities required for a successful career in the domestic house cleaning industry.
