4 Ways a Household Staffing Agency Can Help You

If you are considering hiring staff for your home, it's advised to use an experienced domestic staffing agency to assist. Here are six reasons you should consider it:

Recruiters work fast to deliver turnkey candidates

Because experienced recruiters have a database full of qualified candidates, they can deliver candidates in days when it would take an employer months to accomplish. 

Recruiters are better at interviewing candidates

Recruiters know how to "read between the lines" when interviewing private service professionals. Let's be realistic. Because recruiters are interviewing candidates all day, every day, we are better at it than homeowners are. We know how to properly qualify candidates and ask the right questions. 

Recruiters understand the law

Recruiters help employers be compliant with the law. If someone, for example, hires a personal assistant or housekeeper on their own, chances are they won't understand how to pay the candidate properly. Because "ignorance of the law" is no excuse, it's better to use a domestic staffing agency to ensure you don't get yourself in legal trouble. 

Recruiters can run background checks

If a private employer hires a nanny or executive assistant, chances are they won't have a clue how to run a background check. A professional household staffing agency knows how to thoroughly vet a candidate, verify employment, and run a battery of background checks: criminal, driving record, and credit check.
