How to find domestic staff


To find house staff is not very easy ! Finding the good employee might take up to 3 or 6 months. As an employer, if you are planning on hiring yourself, do not forget that all your efforts will leave traces, especially emails. On top of this, you will face an impressive pile of resumes and most of them do not even relate to what you are looking for. Many non-qualified job hunters apply to those positions hoping to score a bigger job at some point. It is then important to plan your search carefully.  No phone numbers or addresses can be visible on a site! Keep your anonymity.

- If you ask for references, you will eliminate a part of the non-qualified applications.
- Ask clearly: if you are looking for an internal or external employee, a couple, etc. The clearer your demand,  the better the answers.
- No appointments without a resume: always ask for a resume first! Do not waste your time or the job hunter’s.
-No waste of time: if after a few minutes you realize that this not going to work out, do not expand on the position, conditions, etc.  
- During initial meeting, you need to listen and hear your candidate. It is his responsibility to explain his background and defend his skills.
If you would prefer to use recruitment agencies, you can certainly go to Staff-at-one.com, they can post your ad for free and maintain your anonymity. If you prefer to be guaranteed of success, there are agencies in London (MarshallHarber…) who can cater to your needs.
