Household staff recruitment may seem like a daunting and time-consuming task, but it needn’t be. We take away your stress of finding new private household staff by managing all advertising, shortlisting and interviewing. We make sure you get the best candidate by conducting thorough referencing, processing DBS applications, and we even offer a good probationary period to ensure they are the right staff for your home. Unlike other private household staff agencies, we will only put forward candidates who match your criteria exactly – rather than send lots who ‘might’ be suitable, saving you large amounts of time reviewing average or unsuitable CVs.

We have a full database of not just private household staff, but also experienced luxury chalet and yacht staff, as such, we provide a great selection of well-travelled, interesting, enthusiastic candidates each time.
