Frequently Asked Questions
Do you place household positions not listed on your website?
Yes. Whether your position goes by a different title or is a completely unique role, there’s a good chance we’ve hired for it before. Contact us to discuss—if we can’t help, we’ll direct you to other hiring resources or trusted partner agencies.
Should I expect to pay a candidate more or less if my role is live-in?
Generally speaking, requiring an employee to “live-in” is considered a benefit to the employer, not the employee. Most employers who require live-in arrangements do so to ensure after-hours availability, on-call support, or increased responsibilities.
That said, candidates may perceive live-in arrangements differently. For example, a younger candidate—especially one relocating—might see provided housing as a financial perk. But a candidate with a family or someone further along in their career may view it as a limitation.
Some roles (House Manager, Summer House Staff, etc.) typically involve live-in arrangements due to the nature of the work. Our compensation guidance takes this into account. If housing is offered as an optional benefit—or if a housing stipend is included for relocation—it may justify a lower salary than a fully live-out position.
My home is informal. How do you match candidates to different household environments?
Formality in the home has decreased significantly over the years, especially in the U.S., which has changed expectations around titles, training, attire, and etiquette. Most households today lean informal, though some, particularly in cities like D.C., do maintain traditional standards.
We understand that every household is different. What works for one family may not suit another. Our consultation process is designed to get a detailed understanding of your household culture so we can find the right fit.
What is the age range of your household candidates?
Our candidates come from a wide range of backgrounds and ages, but the majority of our applicants tend to be in their early twenties through late forties.
We strongly encourage clients to consider all qualified candidates. Many of our most successful placements have been candidates outside the client’s expected demographic.
