We recruit the staff you need
for the lifestyle you desire.

 

Our placements begin with a conversation about you and your lifestyle. As a starting point, that leads to all sorts of possibilities. It's the difference between simply filling a job and finding a gem. 

CreativE

We find the needle in the haystack—the chief of staff leading teams at several properties worldwide, the executive assistant who attended butler school and the estate manager with extensive COO experience in a family business office. Perhaps it's the unflappable personal assistant with a law degree, the property manager with vineyard management experience, or the traveling private chef with a degree in nutrition and expertise in special diets.

 Personal

Working with a small number of clients, we intently focus on exceptional, high-touch service. We meet with most of our clients in person (highly recommended!) and identify, select and vet candidates personally. It is very comprehensive and we will partner closely with you to find your ideal match.

 PROVEN

With decades of combined experience in this niche market, we have placed hundreds of stellar Estate Managers, Executive Assistants, Personal Assistants, Private Chefs and other high level staff with discerning clients looking to enhance their lifestyle. We have an extraordinary network of top talent and are strengthening our candidate pool daily.

Clients have included executives at Apple, Chewy, Dolby Labs, Dropbox, Eventbrite, Facebook, Fantesca, First Republic Bank, Google, KPCB, Levi, SF Giants, Oracle, Sequoia Capital, Slack, Stanford University, The Gap, TPG, Twitter, Williams-Sonoma, WhatsApp, Yahoo!, to name a few.

Recent placements include: Chief of Staff in Atherton, Director of Estate Operations in San Francisco, Executive Personal Assistant in Los Angeles, Chef in Woodside, Estate Manager in St. Helena, Director of Operations in Miami, Personal Assistant in Seattle, Executive Personal Assistant in Nashville.

 
What People are Saying

Cecilia has such a great personality for the house, she’s sweet without being saccharine (as you said), she’s discreet and calm, and has enough energy and determination to roll with anything. Caren and Kate have both noticed a big difference in the house since she came on board and we are thrilled with her work ethic. THANK YOU for all your patience and hard work while we looked for just the right fit.

—A.W.

Thank you for bringing Kevin to us and thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for recognizing him as a star candidate that could truly add value to the team! It was such a crucial role to fill with the right person and you have done just that!!

—T.W.

I’ve known Nancy for at least 12+ years. Not only have I used her recruiting services in homes I’ve managed but I’ve also referred her to friends and ex-Principals who were looking for staff because I could do so with complete peace-of-mind.

— J.M.

Nancy is a straight-shooter! She tells me everything and anything, which is why I believe we worked so well together. The honesty, decency, integrity, and level of knowledge that she has regarding private domestic service, creates a process that is so thorough and thoughtful, that it protects everyone involved in the candidate search. Nancy strives for the right fit always!

—A.S.

I’ve worked with many recruiters and your dedication and level of professionalism is very rare. Looking forward to building the relationship.

—R.C.

Nancy is amazing: she will very quickly understand what you guys need and soon come up with many potential candidates. I was blown away by how fast she could tap into her network and find extremely qualified leads.

—J.O.
