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. An Executive Assistant typically runs family offices, but household staffing in the private sector requires a different style.
A household manual is an essential tool for estates. With it, private staff will understand the homeowner's expectations. 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 integral part of our service to clients. We aim to find the perfect fit, and staffing agencies are unique regarding search standards. Some agencies 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 who comes along.
Our concierge service demands that we be available after hours and on weekends if our clients need us. We only rest once you hire perfect domestic couples or housekeepers for your private household. Having the right team to suit your needs is essential to our agency -- and that's how we assist you with 5-star service.

When we place job ads, we are very thorough with our job descriptions because we want to attract suitable candidates; the same procedure is also followed for an international household.
