For years, hiring a domestic worker in Saudi Arabia meant one unavoidable condition: a large lump-sum payment before any recruitment process could begin. That outdated model forced countless families to delay a decision they genuinely needed to make, settle for a lower standard of service, or absorb unnecessary financial pressure. That model no longer defines the industry.
Hiring a domestic worker on installments is now a formal, regulated, and fully accessible option through officially approved channels operating under Saudi regulations. Ayady stands at the forefront of this shift, offering the most comprehensive version of this solution: installment plans up to 24 months, full price transparency, licensed recruitment offices, and an end-to-end digital experience managed entirely online.
This guide gives you everything you need to use this option with confidence.
The installment recruitment system is a financing arrangement that allows families to hire a domestic worker through a licensed recruitment office while paying the total cost in regular monthly payments instead of a lump sum.
Submit your request: Choose your preferred worker or office and apply for financing.
Eligibility review: An approved financing provider reviews your application and issues a decision.
Agree on installment terms: A repayment period is set — typically 6, 12, 18, or up to 24 months.
Complete recruitment procedures: The recruitment process proceeds and the worker arrives as planned.
Monthly repayments: You pay the agreed monthly installment on a fixed schedule.
This system converts a large one-time expense into manageable monthly payments that can sit comfortably within a household budget.
Choosing installments doesn't mean your budget is limited — it means you're managing your finances intelligently. Instead of freezing a large sum at the start of the year, you spread the cost across months and keep your liquidity available for other needs.
When your decision isn't constrained by an immediate cash limit, your choices expand. You can select a worker with more experience or specialized skills in childcare, elderly care, or cooking — options that might be difficult to access when paying everything upfront.
A fixed monthly installment makes budgeting straightforward. You know in advance what you'll pay each month, eliminating financial surprises and giving you peace of mind.
Many families delay hiring for months while they save the full amount. With installments, you can begin now and get the worker you need without delay affecting your daily life.
Hiring on installments through an accredited platform ensures every step of the process — from the recruitment office to the financing provider — is subject to supervision and Saudi regulatory compliance.

1. Read the Contract Carefully Before signing any document, review all terms: repayment period, monthly installment value, and any additional fees or late payment penalties.
2. Choose a Realistic Installment Period Don't choose the shortest term just to pay off faster if doing so will strain your monthly budget. Choose the period whose monthly installment you can genuinely manage.
3. Check Office Ratings and Reviews Ayady provides ratings from previous clients. Make use of them before making your decision.
4. Clarify Your Requirements from the Start The more clearly defined your requirements (tasks, language, experience level), the more precise and efficient the selection process will be.
5. Confirm Post-Recruitment Commitments Ask about post-arrival guarantees: what happens if there's a problem? What is the replacement or support process?
Installment-based domestic worker recruitment is particularly suited to:
Families with regular income who prefer distributing financial commitments across the month.

Those seeking higher-qualified workers without being limited by immediate cash availability.
Families in transitional phases such as postpartum recovery, the arrival of a newborn, or caring for an ill parent.
Financially conscious households who believe in smart cash flow management rather than spending a large sum at once.
