Private Driver Driving A Client In Washington DC

What A Private Driver Costs in DC

In Washington, D.C., time isn’t just money, it’s access, image, and opportunity. For our clients—whether they’re C-suite executives, political figures, or private families juggling packed schedules—reliable, professional transportation isn’t a luxury. It’s a necessity. We’ve seen firsthand how the right driver can transform someone’s daily routine, butt we’ve also seen professionals wait too long to make the switch from rideshare and on-demand services to a dedicated driver—and by the time they come to us, it’s often negatively impacted their personal and/or professional life.  So how do you know if it’s time to bring on a private driver? What should you budget? And what separates a true professional from someone who just happens to be available

What Executives Really Look For In An Executive Assistant

We’re seeing many changes to the administrative position, and to an inexperienced administrative professional or casual observer, you may think that this new era, defined by digital shortcuts and automation, will spell the end of executive and personal assistants. But any accomplished executive will credit a portion of their success to those around them, especially including their administrative and support staff. An Executive Assistant is an experienced and skilled administrative and operations specialist whose #1 priority is ensuring that their principal is organized and prepared for each day of their professional and often personal life. These executive support professionals provide administrative support and are trusted confidants to CEOs, MDs, and other top executives. There are

Woman Looking Around As The World Moves Quickly Around Her

The world is spinning faster every day.

Employment has changed drastically the past few years—how we work, the type of work we do, and even where we work. Yet, while the world adapts, solutions for hiring private staff seem to be stuck in the past.

 

At Old State Staffing, we believe the status quo is not enough, and that those who decide now is the time to settle will be left behind. In the face of great change, tinkering around the edges simply won’t do. Since Day 1, our approach has been built on four key principles:

1. Developing A Quality Product

We’ve built Old State Staffing from the ground up, implementing the same cutting-edge recruiting tools used by the nation’s largest family offices. Historically inaccessible to smaller clients, these tools improve the tracking and management of talent, utilize machine learning for smarter searches, and intuitively compare compensation and qualification benchmarks both regionally and nationally. This allows us to find and match families with the best candidates quicker and more efficiently than ever before.

2. Building A Great Team

We knew from the start that our team would be our greatest differentiator. That’s because our agency is composed entirely of family office professionals who know what exceptional candidates look like; because we’ve applied to, managed, and hired for each of those positions ourselves.

3. Creating Meaningful Relationships

Building and maintaining relationships is important today, more than ever before. We place immense value on our relationships, not just with our clients, but our candidates, and the community at large. We spent our “pandemic years” building partnerships with local universities, to open the doors of private staffing to recent college graduates in the most educated metropolitan area in the world.

4. Refusing To Settle

Change is inevitable, yet private staffing has historically lagged in both hiring and employment standards. We’ve always been disruptors, first to adopt AI and machine learning—ensuring smarter, faster, more accurate matches for our clients.


We know that choosing an agency is a personal decision, and we’re honored for the time you have spent considering us as a partner in your search. If you haven’t spoken to us yet, let me be the first to say that we can’t wait to introduce you to our contacts, to guide you through the hiring process, and to introduce you to the perfect candidate. We know the stakes are high, but so are the rewards. With Old State Staffing you’ll be empowered to make informed, meaningful hiring decisions, so you can continue to thrive in a world that’s spinning faster every day.
