Hiring household staff in the United Kingdom

In the United Kingdom, employment agencies have not needed a licence since 1995; they are bound by the Employment Agencies Act 1973 and the Conduct Regulations 2003 and may not charge work-seekers for finding them a job. Fees charged to households are negotiated freely. Since 7 April 2026 the Fair Work Agency oversees agencies; there is no public register.

Hiring household staff in the United Arab Emirates

In the United Arab Emirates, recruiting or placing domestic workers requires a licence from the Ministry of Human Resources and Emiratisation (MoHRE); unlicensed mediation is an offence. MoHRE publishes the list of licensed recruitment offices and runs a hotline (600590000). A free-zone company registration is not a MoHRE licence.
