A Personalized, Transparent Approach to Private Staffing
Our Placement Process
We specialize in high-touch, highly personalized placements. Every search is tailored to the unique needs and preferences of each client — because no two households or roles are ever the same.
We believe that clear communication and transparency are essential to a successful placement. That’s why we outline exactly what we offer — and what we don’t — so there are no surprises along the way.
In addition to our placement services, we’re happy to connect clients with trusted partners for support beyond hiring — whether that’s more in-depth background screening, legal referrals, or payroll and benefits resources. Our goal is to ensure you have access to the right tools and professionals at every stage of the employment process — and beyond.
