A More Intentional Approach to Private Staffing
Private staffing requires context, discretion, and judgment. The Estate Agency approaches each placement with a deep understanding of how households, estates, family offices, and executive environments function day-to-day.
A More Intentional Approach to Private Staffing
Private staffing requires context, discretion, and judgment. The Estate Agency approaches each placement with a deep understanding of how households, estates, family offices, and executive environments function day-to-day.
We’ve found in multi-property estates that responsibilities are often spread across roles without clear ownership. The Estate Agency takes the time to understand responsibilities, expectations, and how the role fits into day-to-day operations. That perspective helps us identify candidates who can step in and contribute immediately.
Discretion Is Built Into the Process
Many searches involve sensitive transitions or high-profile environments. We manage each search with discretion from the outset, from candidate outreach through placement, ensuring privacy for both clients and candidates at every stage.
Focused on Long-Term Fit
A strong placement should hold up over time. For example: Technical skill alone rarely determines success in a private chef role, and traveling households require a different level of flexibility than single-location roles.
We look beyond resumes to assess working style, expectations, and environment, and our focus is alignment (not speed).
A Network Developed Through Experience
Our network is built through ongoing work in private households and family offices.
We maintain relationships with estate managers, personal assistants, private chefs, and household staff, many of whom are not actively searching but are introduced based on fit.
A Structured, Thoughtful Search Process
Each search follows a clear, tailored process: We define the role, identify qualified candidates, and guide both sides through interviews and decisions. Throughout, we provide insight into market expectations and candidate availability so decisions can be made intentionally, and with clarity.
