Household Staff Recruitment
Professional recruitment of staff for private homes, apartments, villas, residences and families with high expectations regarding service, trust and confidentiality.
The international household staff agency Very Important Personnel recruits private staff for property owners, private clients, residence managers and family offices.
We fill positions for the home, children, kitchen, vehicles, residences and family support.
Each search is built around the owners’ lifestyle: residence schedule, country of employment, working format, experience requirements, languages, references, personal qualities and expected level of privacy.
Who We Recruit
Household Staff
Housekeepers, housemaids, VIP wardrobe specialists, house managers, butlers, estate engineers and housemen are responsible for order, housekeeping, wardrobe care, the technical condition of the property and the home’s daily readiness.
For these positions, accuracy, respect for hierarchy, quietness, careful treatment of property and the ability to work without unnecessary presence are especially important.

How Recruitment Works
We begin with a confidential consultation: we clarify the property, family composition, responsibilities, schedule, country of employment, accommodation format, experience requirements, languages, references and the candidate’s personal qualities.
After that, we create a position profile, search through the agency database, conduct preliminary screening and assess relevance. The client receives a shortlist of candidates ready for interview. The client may invite selected candidates for trial days and then decide whether to hire or continue the search.
Candidate Screening
We assess experience, references, professional background, communication style, presentation, stability, accuracy, respect for hierarchy and willingness to follow the rules of a private household.
