Published pricing. 12-day average placement. No retainer games. The agency experience, rebuilt for people who value their time.
Six things we do differently — and why they matter.
18% for permanent. 22% retained. Day rates for temp. No negotiations, no surprises, no "let me check with my manager." You know what it costs before we speak. Radical transparency shouldn't be radical.
First vetted candidates in your inbox. Most agencies take 6–8 weeks. We move fast because our network is deep.
Our placements stick because we match on personality, not just CV keywords.
Skills are table stakes. We match on character, energy, household dynamics, and cultural fit.
Real-time updates. Voice notes. Quick decisions. Not email chains that take 3 days.
5-year history. Enhanced DBS. Right-to-work verified. Two direct references minimum. No shortcuts, ever.
If it doesn't work out in the first 12 weeks, we replace them free. 16 weeks on retained searches.
From live-in butlers to travel nannies to yacht crew. If they work in a private household, we place them.
We kept everything that works. Killed everything that doesn't.
