Applicant Information

  Dear Applicant,

We are a National Placement Service that represents quality household staff. Our dedicated professionals will work with you to help you find employment that meets your qualifications and expectations. There is no charge to you for this service. Potential employers often have more than one home and represent many different areas of our society: Elected Government Officials, Business Owners, CEOs, Movie Stars, Celebrities, and busy Professionals.

Applications are available on our web site under Employment Information. Please complete as completely as possible. You can either print them off or send them by email. We also will need your photograph, a copy of your driver’s license, copies of any written references, etc. We normally require two years of experience in the same household or professional training from our Institute in order to represent you to our wealthy clients.

Realizing that you are probably seeking immediate employment, we will try to process your paperwork as quickly as possible. Remember, however, that the process begins with you! Make sure your application is filled out completely. Your application is often our only opportunity to get to know you, especially because we don’t always have the chance to meet with you in person.

     Read instructions carefully. Where the application asks for employment history, for example, do not write, “See résumé.”

Answer all questions thoroughly. Write legibly. Phone calls requesting clarification of a phone number or name slow the process. Be sure the phone numbers and addresses of references (both business and professional) are complete and accurate. Please, no computer disks. Because of the threats of viruses, worms, etc., our consultants do not open unsolicited computer disks. Also, please send a hard copy of your application packet by mail. Do not send the application via fax or e-mail; the first page of the application is a release form that must be signed. For legal reasons, we must receive an original signature. Don’t ask us to visit “your web site”. This is not professional. The information that we need is on our applications. Every line left blank on an application sends a message: anything from “I don’t follow instructions” to “I can’t be bothered to complete this.” Don’t let your application send these types of messages. Make the impressions you give, be positive ones.

Upon receipt of your completed packet, we will check all of your references and conduct a complete background investigation to ready you for potential employment. We have employment opportunities for individuals with no experience but very strong abilities as well as for individuals with experience in working in a wealthy private home, or that have the equivalent in professional training. However, we are more successful in placing individuals with experience or training, because the vast majority of our clients are seeking such individuals. (Our high-level positions—Household Managers, Personal Assistants, Estate Managers, etc.—in particular require previous household experience or professional training.)

We look forward to discussing with you the many wonderful opportunities we have for qualified applicants!

PLEASE NOTE: Jobs that are posted are for those applicants who are legally able and who are currently living in the United States. We usually have over a hundred jobs available at any given time for qualified applicants. However, we do not discuss any positions available with anyone until they have an approved application on file with us.
