How do I quickly find suitable jobs on Homeservice24?
Homeservice24 is the first and largest platform and provides the most jobs for domestic help and cleaners throughout Switzerland. In this step-by-step guide, we explain how you can quickly find suitable cleaning jobs for yourself.
1. Create a free profile
You create a profile and describe as precisely as possible what kind of work you are looking for and what experience and qualifications you have in cleaning.
Example:
"5 years experience with cleaning and ironing in private households, cleaning offices, doctors' surgeries and old people's homes. I am looking for work as a cleaning lady as a part-time job, mainly in the evening."
Also upload a likeable photo of yourself - this way people looking for help can get a good picture of you. By the way: profiles with a photo have a 3x higher chance of getting a job than profiles without a photo.
2. Notification of new cleaning jobs
If a vacant cleaning job that fits your profile is advertised on our platform, we will notify you by email. This way you can quickly apply for it via the message function and have the best chance of getting the job. Of course, you can deactivate the job notifications in your settings at any time.
3. Search for cleaning jobs and apply
Once you have completed your profile, you can start looking for jobs yourself. To do this, use our search function and the filters to display suitable jobs for domestic helpers in your area. Once you have found a suitable job, you can save it to your favourites list and apply for it with a nice message using the message function.
Tip: Verify your profile
Use the profile verification and make your profile more trustworthy. The verification process is free of charge for you and only takes a few minutes. All you need is an identity document and your smartphone. Afterwards, your profile will receive a "Verified" badge.
4. More success with premium
If you would like more attention for your profile, you can become a Premium Member for a small fee. This enables you to activate additional functions for a successful job search as a cleaner. Your profile will then be displayed higher up in the search and you can see who has visited your profile.

5. Wait for answers and discuss details
If the potential employer likes your application, you will receive a reply shortly. Then you can use the messaging function to discuss job details and exchange contact information. You may also make an appointment for an interview or a trial work.
It is possible that - as with any other job - you will not receive an immediate response to each of your applications. This can be due to various reasons, e.g. if the potential employer is not yet a premium member or if they have already found a suitable cleaner but have not yet been able to make their job advertisement invisible.
In most cases, it is not your fault if you do not receive a reply. In any case, make sure that you fill out your profile as completely and meaningfully as possible. This will increase the response rate to your applications and also your chances of finding suitable cleaning jobs.
6. Formalities
If the employer is satisfied with your work in the trial assignment and you want to accept the cleaning job, then the correct employment and accident insurance is the next step. The employer takes care of that and we help with Fairboss free of charge.
