Bad Employment Agency

Koosh Employment Services - Bad Employment Agency
Hi, its been 60 days that full and final settlement is pending for me when I had released back the maid in 1st week of October. Koosh just takes customer for granted. Beware - don't use their services. All Happy Happy when you start engaging and after that when u release maid - no attention to your mails. They just reply 'NOTED' on each of your mail. I highly recommend to not take their services. They don't pick calls whenever required.

The agency took deposit and showed maid profiles. We accepted one maid and later they showed us document that the maid had court case and we have to agree to send her court for her previous case whichever date court calls her to go. So we didn't want to employ her and cancelled the choice. The agency then said they don't have any more maids and also did not refund the money. This agency is a scam and will cheat the funds. I am very worried in Singapore that this agency is creating fear and doubts about the integrity of law in Singapore as I just noticed so many complaints against this company and no action as been taken by Ministry of Manpower. The agency boss even claimed that they have people inside and nobody can take action against them. Their hands are politically connected. This kind of statements are very empowering to end users and fellow Singaporeans.

No fulltime maid please

Hi All, I really had a very bad experience with Nepali maid. She came here from India not to find work and earn money instead she was trying to attract my husband by wearing tight clothes, short clothes, sleeveless and attractive transparent bras and tops. My Nepali maid was having very bad intentions. So forgetful all the time. Always interfering and taking interest in family matters. Always begging dollars. Great liar. These full time maids takes full advantage of small kids when left unattended. Many times I found her kissing my baby lips. These are really shameless creatures. Always interested to eat whatever you are eating. Keeps full watch on you and even tries to complain about you to your husband. Ladies please beaware of these full time maids. They will eatup your family integrity, privacy and happiness. Its better you do your work by your own instead of hiring such cheap and characterless full time maids.

Yes, I agree. Get off your backside and do your own housework. If you have time to write these silly complaints online, you have to time to vacuum your carpets and dust your furniture!

They just eat up your money and provide very bad service. You will never get your money back from them. They always try to find ways to avoid re-payment. In our case, firstly they cheated us by arranging fake interview i.e., interview with someone else not the maid we have shortlisted. That maid Gurpreet Kaur came to our house and asked us to send back to agency on day one itself. She complained that she can't work with us as we are south indians and she is not aware as she didn't took interview. Also she doesn't even know cooking. This agency tried to send her back to us, but we didn't agree. They placed her to someother employer somehow. And now they are refusing to refund the two month's maid loan that we have paid though they agreed to repay initially. They said they'll repay in 4 weeks. And after 2 months, they are saying they won't repay because we didn't give 21 days time to the maid which is mentioned in the clause for the replacement of maid. Not sure how this clause is applicable for repayment of maid loan. Employers be cautious, if you are planning to hire a maid through this agency or already hired. All their employees also cheaters...MAHESHWARI ANJALI, DAS DIPANTI(Dip), SUKHPREET KAUR (Sue) and MANMIT KAUR

Koosh - Service is good

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
Their service is very good. Some agencies always keep increasing maid salaries just to collect more from the maids and from the employers. But sometimes, this results in unemployment for some of the maids who are really very poor and badly needs job. But we noticed that this is not the case with Koosh Employment. They are very kindhearted with the maids and they try to help both employers and maids. We had hired 4 domestic workers in the past 6 years. Koosh service is the best among all the agenices we dealt with. We are happy with their service.

Koosh Employment Agency -- FRAUD on FDW's and Employers

Hi I hired a maid from Koosh Employment agency and they charged me 1200 SGD for the same. They asked me to do a bank transfer and did not issue a receipt to me. Once the maid arrived my place , within 2 weeks she mentioned she has to go back to home town as the agency told her to only work for 2 months. She gave me in written that she was told by agency to work for 2 months only. When i contacted agency they totally refused and said they never say anything like this and its between me and my maid issue now. They even told me to purchase her a ticket back to home town if she wants to go. The agency owners never talk to the client and always place some rep on the phone who will behave as if they don't know anything. Later i came to know from the maid and her friends that it is a business they are running by calling maid for two months only and then asking maid to tell employer to send them back . This way they call the maids again after some time and place at other employers and earn agency fee again. Since employers are under contractual obligations they have to send the FDW back or maximum they will make her work for a few more months and then have to send her back. Then they will say they currently don't have anyone for transfer and make you wait. I could not wait more than a month and had to go for another agency. They did not refund me a single penny and even the cost of FDW's refund has to be bourne by me. This is a big FRAUD , If anyone form MOM is reading this , i would like to highlight the fraud and ask someone to take action against this FRADULENT Agency.

They the the biggest cheaters in Singapore. Sue ( Sukhpreet Kaur) is so clever and she knows how to fool people.

I don't know what MOM is waiting for. They have so many complaints.

Sue and her sister misbehave with maid called by them. They torcher them like anything.

Guest

Beware this agency is under MOM Watchlist also. Please don't fall for their trap...

They do not refund your money and also do not provide any services or replacement maid if first one turns out to cause issues. They will take her and place with other employers.

Guest

I Was recommended by a friend and have been happy to take to a Myanmar Maid from Koosh – although the Myanmar maid Eng is not so good but her work and attitude is good.

Simply non-responsive, non productive and non reliable

I am writing this after suffering for 2 months. We needed a maid urgently and got in touch with this Koosh maid agency. Start was very nice and warm. Profiles were shown, interviews were conducted. But thats it !! It was told that our selected maid would arrive in two weeks. We waited for three weeks. No response. Phone calls, no reply. Emails, no reply. And then we were told, the girl can not come. Anyway, we went through selection process again. Again selected a girl. This time process was not fast. We had to call 3-4 times for each step and many times calls were not answered. At end, we selected another maid. Again waited...and waited and waited. No response from them. At last when we were honored by accepting our call, we were told that maid can not come. Strangely, we still kept out patience. But this time, they just stopped all responses. After several several follow ups, they scheduled an interview yesterday. I cancelled my plan and waited for phone call.........but story was not different. Today morning, when I emailed to ask the reason, it was told that today there would be interview. I am sitting at home now, and writing this review after waiting for 2 hrs. Not to mention, I have emailed for refund, before writing it.

Review about Unprofessional Employment Service from Singapore, Singapore

I absolutely agree to the above mentioned reviews which are true. They are highly unprofessional and delay the work especially in case of transfer maids. It's been almost a month that I m waiting for a replacement..and I m paying levy for free with no maid in the house. Such an irresponsible behavior towards their work and client. I m going to complain about them to MOM soon.. They have only excuses to offer and not maids... Employees there just don't take the ownership of their work. I am yet to speak to the manager or owner of this agency as he or she is never available....

KOOSH Employment Services - Maid Agency -- it sucks

KOOSH Employment Services -- It sucks This agency provides indian/nepali maids. Stay away from these guys. They will be very polite and prompt when you take first maid from them -- they charge 1000 dollars as agency fee, btw. But when you ask for transfer maid (which I had to) they show true colors. They claim to do all screening and trainings etc. before getting maids to Singapore but that is all a big LIE. In my case it has been two months since I asked for transfer and I haven't got yet. They will schedule interview with girls who are not interested to join you as maid -- this is delaying tactics. Most of the staff is highly unprofessional to even understand the situation. I plan to not only file a complaint with MOM but also ask for refund of agency fee and expenses incurred for interim arrangements. Long battle ahead.... Just beware and stay away from them..

Dear AllKoosh is worst of all and especially its owner Mrs Sue she will eat up all your money like she did to me. Now i am sufeering in debt.

They took away all my money and never gave recept. Sue and all her team hunger to suck all your money.

Stay away from these people and please MOM do take action against them. They are a big black mark for Singapore.

Guest

Service provided by this agency is really worst , this agency is not fit to run. Just surprised how MOM keeps such agency in Singapore .

Probably Mom is not aware of such poor services provided by them. Will be complaining about Koosh service to MOM soon

Guest

I had the same issues.

These are throughly unprofessional ladies, who try to run the business.

My maid was good. Not great, too many work related issues and quite dishonest for a Nepali breed.

but I could trust her with my baby.

Sumika from Koosh was very good. So no chance of complains. Always on the top of work. Always kept us posted on every activity for the maid, so we don't panic.

But once I booked the maid : For almost 1.5 months, and NO news from the agency on the arrival of the maid.

Sumika was gone, New ladies are useless in customer service.

The excuse given was the maid didn't have her school certificates. When KOOSH profile the maids, are they no supposed to check they have relevant documents to be eligible to work in Singapore. They take their own sweet time for the maid arrival. Finally maid flight tickets were booked without finding out, if I am even in town when she arrives.

This is thorough lack professionalism. My Husband hated the punjabi bosses from day 1. Our interaction was only with Sumika. This time he even refused to even step into their office, and asked me to go through some other agency.

He is a businessman himself. He says, businesses should never compromise Trust & Integrity.

Koosh shows all the traits but Trust & Integrity. For me, their don't care attitude is the killer.

Guest

I am Nes of Koosh - I am the one who serviced you -- Mohika Hi, You took Subba Kumari working in your house from Koosh and you wanted to replace her although Subba Kumari was happy to work in your house -- still I went the extra mile to go over to your house along with Sabita Chettri for your replacement maid -- Sabita spoke to your helper which you allowed and Subba Kumari told her please help her retain her job so Sabita did not take your offer. Then I did tele-interviews for PHI candidates ..

you were not willing to pay the upfront maid loan / placement fees and my co policy we cannot accept PD cheaques so you did not take her. Agency fees is not refundable.. only maid loan and pro-rated ins/security bond amount my mgmt will refund. We are still working on your replacement -- you can demand any of the bio-data that we have advertised and take as your replacement soonest.

I am here to give my best service to you always and why you doing this to kick my rice bowl in Koosh - I have a child to feed. We are arranging for you to meet mgmt as per your request too.

I am only working to my best of ability with a smile I wish to service your requirement. Also to put to your notice that YOU MENTIONED TO ME THAT YOU WANT TO COME AND PICK UP THE RECEIPT..there is no proper communication between and then your husband asks me about the receipt.

Guest

we hired maid from koosh, really their service excellent. Even within three months i got issue with the maid and they nicely handled the situation and replaced maid and she is working around three years. Thanks koosh.

Guest

i totally agree . i have file a complaint against one agency as they gave me one maid and when returned they give me thousand excuses making it sound like its my fault.

I filed a complaint to the officer. And the officer helped to communicate with them,.

This is the no for complaints against agency 6836****.

Checkif the agency is registered with them. Or you can even write to them mom_fmd@***.gov.sg

Guest

Koosh under MOM surveillance program with 22 demerits point and licence is scheduled to lapse on 23rd June 2014, of not renewed.

I also stuck with their sourced helper and she has been with us last 6 month.

Recently I have come to a decision not continue get as she lacking on safety issue and unable to complete basic jobs which she suppose to do on daily basis.

Trying contacting Koosh agency for last two days and look like their phone lines are deliberately unplugged! Now really in Catch 21 situation.

Yes there are demerit points but if you are smart enough then check what are the demerit points for before commenting

Read the reviews too late... just took a helper from indonesia a few weeks ago and since she arrived has been giving me trouble.

The staff have talked to her but last sunday, out of the blues she turned around and told me" saya nak pulang". Told her agency was closed as it was Sunday.

I have been trying to contact the agency but no one is answering the calls. On Monday alone I had made 30 over calls and then went to Koosh office in upper thomson and found it closed.

This morning I called them since 1030 am and they have not answered the calls and I went into the website to get the Mackenzie office no. and that is when I read about pissed consumers.

No one is also answering the calls at Mackenzie either .

I will go to the thomson office after work again.

I am in a dilemna now..... :(

Cheated me

Koosh really sucks. They grabbed my money. They overcharged the agency fee and even did not pay my salary as their employee and proved mom by showing false documents that they paid my salary. They are very smart. Beware of Sukhpreet Kaur (Sue) and her sister Manmit Kaur. They all are cheating employees as well the poor maids and their employers. Their main aim is to make money. For money they can do anything with anyone. As their ex employee I know how they play with the customer and maids to grab their money. I am in debt just because of these people.

KOOSH Employment agency

Their service really very lousy. I tried to get a punjabi helper from them and KOOSh was very unprofessional. I choose one helper and confirmed everything with KOOSH then suddenly KOOSh return to me saying that this helper was aleady taken by another house. I mean like where is the professionalism>???? they should have checked everything before allowing me to take a helper and when aeverything was confirmed they had to tell me this?? Also, at the start hey always ask you to pay a deposit od $500 which is hopeless as they are not going to expedite to get a maid for you but instead you will have to everyday follow up with them. Be informed DO NOT give the $500 as when you ask the money back, they will take one month to return you. Be careful when you get a maid from KOOSH. they do not apply to be genuine. I wam really very disappointed with them.

When I, Rekha, walked into their office it seems so well designed in black and white and the décor is to be commented on. Unlike other maids agencies this had a very warm interior -- pleasant speaking staff served us and guided us to select the maid we needed ..

and it has been three years the same maid is with us and we are happy.

Guest

I am Very Happy About This Maid Agency.I had an excellent experience with this company.The customer service was fantastic.I am always satisfied with the job they have done.No problems with scheduling or billing. I have no problem recommending them to my friends and neighbors.

Guest

We are dealing with Koosh Agency for maid services for the past 2 years. They are very professional and they educate their maids very properly before sending her our home. The agency is very good and the staffs are very kind and cooperative to answer all our queries.

Guest

koosh is not registered with case-trust or AEAS. So watch out !

You will not be able to get back anything if there's a dispute or claim. Some of their official receipts have no serial numbers and their agreement is not even on a letterhead. They are under surveillance by the ministry of manpower (MOM) with 16 demerits points !

Their maids bio-datas are not accurate as well.Extremely bad follow-up. :cry :cry Do your homework & shop around for an agency that is both case trusted & member of AEAS.
