Hire directly without an agency

HelperHub gives employers a structured checklist, document wallet, reminders and contract tools. Official submissions, payments and approvals stay with MOM or the relevant provider.

Marketplace boundary for v1

HelperHub stores documents, generates checklists, supports contracts and keeps reminders. It does not submit MOM transactions, act as an employment agency, hold escrow, or collect agency service fees.
