Why We Are the World’s Most Unique Personal Assistant Agency

There are more than 225,000 recruiters in the United States and more than 1,000,000 in the world; but only ONE has worked with celebrities, American aristocracy, legacy families, billionaires and royalty -- and that's Brian Daniel of The Celebrity Personal Assistant Network .

Only a very small percentage of recruiters specialize in one field, and even fewer have experience in the field they are recruiting for. This is where Brian Daniel stands completely apart from the rest.

We specialize in elite assistants that serve the high net worth

Most domestic staffing agencies that make placements in private households have a "Jack of all trades, master of none" format, which means they can get you a birthday clown, dog walker, butler, gardener, auto detailer, etc.

We specialize in assistants (and hybrid assistants); and only the roles that Brian Daniel has personally done himself: Personal Assistant, Estate Manager (aka House Manager), Executive Assistant, and Chief of Staff.

Our personal assistant agency is retained search

99% of staffing agencies work on contingency, which means zero dollars upfront from the client. Being retained search and getting a deposit from the client is exceptionally rare in this industry, and it separates the curious from the serious (no "tire kickers" who are half-heartedly looking to fill a role).

It's also common for employers to hire 3 to 5 staffing agencies, which means that it literally (not figuratively) becomes a race to see who can submit candidates first to be able to "call dibs" and have the right to a commission -- many candidates are registered with multiple agencies, which is why the method is in practice.

Our placements are long-lasting because we take the time needed to interview candidates to ensure they are the right fit, which is impossible when agents are racing to score a commission. Brian Daniel has been called "The Real-Life Jerry Maguire," with fewer clients, less money, and better service.

Most recruiters couldn't pass a lie detector test

We don't coach and poach

When the 99% of recruiters who aren't on a retainer are racing to score a commission, some of them unethically "coach and poach," which means they coach the candidate on how to speak to the client in a way that will get the client to hire him or her. It's an "honor amongst thieves" arrangement. The candidate wants a job, and the agent wants a commission.

The placement would only last for a while because it was a race from the beginning, and the process was rushed. Either the candidate will get let go because they weren't fit or will contact the recruiter to say they aren't happy in the role. Some agents will then poach the candidate back (usually right after the 90-day replacement guarantee runs out) and then place the candidate again in another role and score another commission. Our company mission condemns this practice.

Our staffing agency is pulling back the curtain on bad industry practices

We don't "bait and switch" candidates with fake job ads

We are like those magicians who show you how the magic trick works, so we "pull back the curtain" on the practice of "harvesting" leads off of candidates' resumes.

Many staffing agencies use fake job ads to lure unsuspecting candidates into their offices. They do this because the recruiters will contact the candidate's previous employers. After all, they need to "verify former employment."

The recruiters introduce themselves to the high-net-worth clients to try to score new clients (and more commissions). This is standard practice in the recruiting industry worldwide. Not all agencies do it, but most do.

So, without even blinking an eye or thinking twice about it, the unscrupulous agents willingly and knowingly misrepresent the candidates. It could be a better use of time for the job seekers. After the candidates have spent half their day in the recruiters' office filling out paperwork and taking useless tests on outdated software programs, most will be met with the same canned response: "The job you came in for was just placed." In short, it's a scam.
