Why You Should Use a Domestic Staffing Agency to Staff Your Home

According to Forbes, there are more than 2,700 billionaires in the world; and more than 600 of them are in the United States. CNBC says that there are about 50,000 households with net worth between $50MM and $500MM. Additionally, there are more than 10MM millionaires in America. With such staggering wealth comes a need to manage it all, and that's where domestic staffing agencies for high-net-worth families enter the picture.

Brian Daniel -- a former Personal Assistant and Chief of Staff to Hollywood celebrities, American aristocracy, billionaires and royalty -- founded The Celebrity Personal Assistant Network in 2007 to cater to the staffing needs of the super-successful. "After working for some of the world's highest profile individuals and families, I found a gap when it came to domestic staffing agencies," says Brian Daniel. "Most of them are high-volume operations and many of them are staffed by recruiters who have never been in the roles themselves. I wanted to change all of that."

Since the founding of his elite recruitment firm, Daniel has placed personal assistants, estate managers, executive assistants and other domestic staffing roles throughout North America, Asia, the Middle East and Europe. And his work has gone unnoticed because he has appeared in dozens of media outlets worldwide.

Why Use a Domestic Staffing Agency?

For privacy reasons, many celebrities and high-net-worth families attempt to take out anonymous job ads themselves to place staff in their homes; but that can be problematic. Being a recruiter for mansions and estates takes a very special set of skills: interviewing, verifying former employment, doing background checks, etc. When families attempt to do it themselves, there are often shortfalls in the process, and it opens families up to liabilities as well.

Professional staffing agencies understand the complexity of vetting candidates and navigating federal laws. Many celebrities and high-profile families have been sued by employees for violations of labor laws, so hiring a headhunter solves many problems. Among them, sifting through a vast sea of resumes and identifying the best of the best candidates.
