Domestic staff play a key role in maintaining an efficient household. From keeping homes clean and organized to managing busy schedules or providing attentive care for children, these professionals give homeowners the peace of mind they need to live comfortably.
Here are some of the biggest benefits of hiring domestic staff for your home:
- You save time to focus on other priorities that are important to you.
- You are providing employment for someone who needs it.
- You get extra family support.
- Your schedule may become more flexible.
- You can experience reduced stress and improved mental health.
Recognizing the value of domestic staff is just the first step. The key to a successful household staffing experience lies in a comprehensive and thoughtful hiring process.
By following a structured approach, we ensure that you find the right professional who not only meets your household’s specific needs but also becomes an integral part of your home’s ecosystem.
Overview of the Hiring Process
At Household Staffing, we’ve refined our hiring process into a meticulous, client-centered approach designed to take the stress and uncertainty out of finding the perfect household staff.
Our comprehensive process is built on three fundamental pillars: thorough candidate selection, rigorous screening, and a commitment to your complete satisfaction through our unique replacement guarantee.
New Hire Application
Beginning your journey with Household Staffing is simple and straightforward. Visit our website and complete our online New Hire Application form.
This detailed questionnaire helps us understand your specific household needs, preferences, and the type of staff you’re seeking. Be prepared to provide information about your household size, specific job requirements, desired working hours, and any unique considerations that will help us find your ideal candidate.
Once we receive your new hire application, we review it and one of our Executive Recruiters will work with you throughout the process to ensure you hire the right person.
You may also call us directly at (212) 600-2085 to complete this application process over the phone with one of our dedicated specialists.
Candidate Review
Your recruiter will present you with only the most qualified individuals and conduct all research needed to provide you with an accurate match.
These candidate profiles can be conveniently reviewed from the comfort and privacy of your home or office, offering you a comprehensive and in-depth exploration of each potential hire including work experience, education, hobbies, personality traits, and more.
Candidate Interview
Once you find a candidate(s) you’re interested in interviewing, your recruiter will arrange a virtual interview.
We’ll ensure any digital meeting platform you prefer (Zoom, Google Meet, FaceTime, etc.) will work properly ahead of time for both you and the candidate.
Your recruiter will also be available at the time of your virtual interview to confirm both parties are able to connect and troubleshoot software or communication issues.
In-person interviews may be arranged following this virtual candidate interview.
Candidate Screening
Upon your offer of employment, our team at Household Staffing conducts an extensive screening process that includes a nationwide criminal records investigation, a nationwide sex and violent offenders search, driving record report, social media search, and personality assessment. Our goal is to ensure you, your family, and your home are in capable hands.
Our Replacement Guarantee
Our experts at Household Staffing perform personalized placement search and recommendations from our exclusive provider database for up to one calendar year (365 days).
We are capable of placing someone in your home immediately, and usually find the placement you’ll hire in less than 10 days. It’s important to note that each client is different and some positions may take longer to find the most qualified person for the job.
Recognizing the Unique Needs of Affluent Households
We recognize that affluent families or individuals often have different needs when it comes to hiring staff to work in their home.
For example, your employees may need to work rotating hours to provide 24-hour service, or you may have multiple homes to visit throughout the year that require staff.
Or, you may travel often for business and need staff that can stay at your estate in your absence to oversee schedules, maintenance work, or to keep other parts of the property running smoothly.
Because many affluent or high-profile families are in the public eye, we are also aware of the various rules and needs surrounding privacy and confidentiality. In these cases, your staff may need to sign a nondisclosure agreement, or you may have strict guidelines about social media use or photos.
We will pay close attention to the discreet needs of your situation. Each detail matters and our team is here to ensure we can place the right person in your home who meets your requirements.
