House managers and Estate managers
Estate managers run your household like a business
Domestic staff for private households need management, and that's where the EM comes in. Family offices are typically run by an Executive Assistant, but household staffing in the private sector requires a different style.
A household manual is an important tool for estates. Without it, private staff won't understand the expectations of the home owner. House managers are responsible for the creation of such manuals.
To be fully-qualified candidates in an estate, staff need to be familiar with the protocol of the private homes they work in; so studying the house manual is essential to success. Because each client wants the household staff to meet their individual needs, staff should always have access to the manual.

Domestic staff inside the household
The recruitment process is an important part of our service to clients. Our goal is to find the perfect fit, and staffing agencies aren't created equally when it comes to search standards. Some agencies just do quick interviews before sending candidates to clients, but that strategy only gets temporary results. We take a different approach because we are in the business of finding the right candidate, not just anyone that comes along.
Our concierge service demands that we be available after hours and on weekends if our clients need us, so we don't rest until you hire perfect domestic couples or housekeepers for your private household. Having the right team to suit your individual needs is important to our agency -- and that's how we assist you with 5-star service.

Is a domestic recruitment company right for you?
Domestic staffing for affluent families
Think about this: If you employ domestic workers in your household, then making sure that you are following all the applicable laws of your state is paramount. When you hire us to recruit, we inform you during the search process about how to hire properly and follow the law.
Disgruntled candidates are likely to visit government agencies if they are not paid overtime or get scheduled breaks, so having a private staff comes with a lot of responsibility.
Hiring the right housekeeper, for example, is more than just about their skills. You want to make sure they are right for your team. When we hire private staff for your household, we also run background checks to ensure housekeepers, private chefs, and estate managers don't have a sorted past.
When we place ads for jobs, we are very thorough with our job descriptions because we want to attract the right candidates; and the same procedure is followed for an international household as well.

Job titles and descriptions
One challenge the domestic staffing industry faces is with job titles and descriptions. While many other industries have common standards and best practices, household staffing does not. In fact, every household has their own idea of what a personal assistant or estate manager should do. For your convenience, our agency has provided a detailed description of household staff positions on our site map.
Once we have determined which household staffing positions need to be filled at your estate, then we help you build a detailed job description as well. Once the right information is distributed to our network and placed on our job boards, we begin the recruiting process to find you the right household staff. Our goal is to make sure placements are permanent. Rest assured that we don't give up until we find the right person for the job.
