Finding the right staff
Finding the right staff to work for someone in a private capacity is never easy. The employer needs to feel confident that their privacy is protected, that the standards of the staff are impeccable and that their personalities and expectations fit within the environment where they will be working. No easy matter.
For the candidates who often want to settle long term, finding the right situation can be equally fraught with difficulties.
Having started a different agency (Greycoat Placements Limited, part of the Empresaria Group) sixteen years ago, Jane Urquhart brings a wealth of skills and experience to a service that is unique in its care and attention to detail
The expectations of all clients need to be fully understood before a search commences and then only the most appropriate candidates should be proposed. Those candidates also need to be fully aware of all the implications of the post and its responsibilities, rewards and demands. This careful matching is vital.
A team of consultants in London and nationally are available to meet clients and candidates, to discuss all the options and to ensure a professional service is offered.
