How a Professional Domestic Staffing Agency Protects Your Privacy

Domestic Staffing Agency Protects Your Privacy

Being a high-net-worth individual who needs to hire household staff, it is of the utmost importance to ensure that you can trust whomever will be present during your daily life. That being said, we will detail how working with an agency like Staffing at Tiffanie’s ensures that your family’s safety and privacy will be protected. 

Our Privacy Protection Process

Since our inception in 1998, Staffing at Tiffanie’s has placed the privacy of each client as our top priority. To that end, we have put a three-part process in place that protects clients in three ways, ensuring that all vetted household staff you hire are trustworthy individuals. 

Strict Vetting

All potential domestic staff candidates undergo strict pre-employment screening to ensure that they are the right fit in terms of conduct, experience, character, and skills. We begin with a preliminary phone screening with the candidate to learn more about their suitability. We also require each candidate to undergo a detailed application procedure that provides the information we require in order to conduct reference verifications.

Each candidate must complete a written evaluation. Finally, we submit candidate information to several authorities to complete the following background screening procedures:

  • Motor vehicle investigation
  • Social Security trace
  • Criminal employee background check on City, County, State, and Federal levels.

Confidentiality Protocols

Private household staffing

Along with strict vetting, Staffing at Tiffanie’s confidentiality protocols are a must, as our clients include celebrities, high-level executives, lawyers, and other high-profile individuals. We oversee and provide support and guidance for all steps of the sourcing and hiring process. One of these steps is the Offer of Employment, which we work together with the client to develop.

A typical Offer of Employment contains one or more types of confidentiality clauses in order to legally protect our clients. These clauses include clear statements about your personal data and other information being considered to be confidential and, therefore, not shared by staff in any way.

Our Offers of Employment also include any non-disclosure agreements that you may wish your staff to agree to and sign, as well as all of the consequences of breaching NDAs and other confidentiality clauses, including staff dismissal and pursuit of legal remedies.

We also advise our clients to prevent misunderstandings which can lead to accidental privacy breaches by being clear in their privacy guidelines and explaining to your household staff the reason for requiring this level of privacy, such as the high risk of a seemingly innocent photo or social media post.

Discreet Sourcing and Placement Practices

Staffing at Tiffanie’s employs discreet sourcing and placement practices that protect our clients’ personal information. We possess and access an extensive and exclusive network, which connects us to Private Chefs, Estate Managers, and other private household staff who are available for short or long engagements in private homes.

Our trusted network has been built over several years out of our experience as a household staff agency and as household staff working in the homes of high-net-worth employers. This dual perspective allows us to understand what employers and employees are seeking in a business relationship.

We source only the top private household staffing candidates, individuals who possess not only the skills and experience our clients require, but who also pass every stage of our vetting and screening process and match our clients’ personalities, work ethic, and household dynamics.

How to Work with Our Agency

Discreet household staff

It is possible to source, vet, and hire private staff on your own. However, if you do not possess experience in doing so and your demanding schedule does not allow for this, it can be a stressful and overwhelming process. 

Working with a staffing agency to find the employees you require is an ideal choice, as it allows the process to be professionally managed. This allows you to continue enjoying your well-earned lifestyle and focus on those things which matter most to you and your family. 

Since 1998, Staffing at Tiffanie’s has been sourcing and matching staff with high-net-worth actors, doctors, corporation owners, and other individuals in locations across the country and beyond.

If you have identified the need for one or more discreet household staff in your single residence or multiple properties, Staffing at Tiffanie’s is a premier agency with the experience to vet, source, and place qualified candidates.

We invite all of our potential clients to initiate client onboarding, which explains what our comprehensive process includes at each stage. You are also asked to complete our Client Questionnaire. Of course, we are more than happy to answer any questions you may have regarding any part of the process.

Our agency also accepts applications from qualified confidential household staff seeking placement in private homes. You may also view our current list of available positions in the estates and residences of our clients.
