Sourcing talented domestic staff for your private household

Finding the best of the best when it comes to domestic staff is one of the most important decisions a private household can make. From housekeepers and chefs, to estate managers and nannies, professional domestic staff can bring structure, security, and a seamless service to daily life. But how can you attract top talent to your private household or luxury hospitality setting?

At Shire & Wold Staffing, we specialise in providing only the best domestic staff, ensuring every placement is trustworthy, highly experienced, and the perfect fit for your home.

Read on to learn what you need to know when looking for experienced domestic staff for your private household.

Sourcing talented domestic staff

Finding truly exceptional domestic staff requires more than posting a vacancy on a job board. 

While generic listings may attract applicants, they rarely deliver the calibre of professionals needed to run a private household with precision, discretion, and long-term harmony.

Partnering with a leading domestic staffing agency, such as Shire & Wold Staffing, is your first step to helping you find the best of the best. Our team of experts offers:

• Access to a vetted talent pool
  All of our candidates are pre-screened for skills, professionalism, and discretion before being introduced.

• Bespoke recruitment
  Instead of a one-size-fits-all approach, all of our searches are shaped around the unique needs and culture of your household. We take the time to really get to know you, and understand your needs, so we can match you with the best domestic staff talent.

• Discretion and confidentiality
  Unlike public job boards, our tailored service ensures privacy and professionalism is maintained at every step of the recruitment journey.

• Higher success rates
  With expert guidance, placements are more likely to result in long-term satisfaction for your household and for the new staff members.

By partnering with Shire & Wold Staffing, private households can discover talented domestic staff who meet the highest standards,  saving you time, reducing risk, and ensuring a perfect fit, every single time.

The challenges of hiring domestic staff

Finding trusted domestic staff

Trust is the foundation of every private household. Without thorough vetting, hiring domestic staff can expose households to unnecessary risks.

Matching staff to your unique household

Every home has different needs. From formal private household estates to modern luxury hospitality properties, aligning a candidate’s personality, skills, and experience with your household culture is a challenge many families face.

Attracting top domestic staff in a competitive market

The most skilled domestic staff are in high demand. Competing private households and luxury hospitality employers make it harder to secure the best candidates without expert support.

Ensuring long-term fit and loyalty

A successful hire goes beyond filling a role. Private households need domestic staff who can commit, adapt, and deliver consistency time and time again.
