Household Staff Agency
A Household Staff Agency Built on
Private Service Experience
Bespoke Crew sources exceptional private household staff for
UHNW families, estates and residences across the UK and beyond.
Discretion, quality and genuine industry knowledge at every stage.
We’ve Worked in Private Homes.
We Know What’s Required.
Unlike generalist domestic recruitment agencies, everyone at Bespoke Crew comes from a background in private or luxury service. That means we understand what a UHNW household actually demands — the standards, the discretion, the cultural fit — before a single candidate is ever presented.
We recruit permanent, temporary and seasonal household staff for private residences, London townhouses, country estates and international properties.
Private Household Staff We Recruit
A Personal, Process-Driven Approach to Household Recruitment
We don’t send you a stack of CVs and leave you to it. Every search is handled by a dedicated consultant who takes time to understand your household, your expectations and your preferences before a single candidate is considered..
Our job isn’t just matching a CV to a job description. It’s understanding a household well enough to know who will actually fit into it, and that only comes from taking the time to listen properly at the start.”
Frankie Mason
Bespoke Crew Director
How do we do it?
More Than a CV Matching Service
The best household staff are rarely actively looking. They’re already employed in excellent positions and only move for the right opportunity. Because we’ve built genuine relationships across the private service world, we can reach candidates that other household staff agencies simply can’t.
We also understand that placing the wrong person in a private home is far more disruptive than taking a little longer to find the right one. We’d rather tell you a search is taking time than send you someone we’re not confident in.

What types of household staff do you place?
Do you recruit household staff outside London?
Yes. While we work extensively with London-based households, we place private household staff across the UK, including country estates, rural properties and private islands. We also recruit internationally for clients with homes abroad. Wherever your property is, we’ll be straightforward with you about timescales and what to expect.
How long does it take to find the right candidate?
It depends on the role and how specific your requirements are. Housekeeper and PA placements tend to move relatively quickly. More specialist searches, such as domestic couples or estate managers, naturally take longer because the candidate pool is smaller. We’ll give you an honest estimate at the start and keep you updated throughout.
What checks do you carry out on candidates?
Every candidate is interviewed by our team before you see their profile. We verify employment history, conduct verbal reference checks with previous employers and carry out background screening. Candidates are only presented once we’re satisfied they meet the standard required for a private household environment.
Can you help if I need staff for multiple properties?
Yes. We work with clients who have residences in multiple locations, both in the UK and overseas. Your dedicated consultant handles all searches, so there’s no need to manage different agencies for different properties.
Do you place temporary as well as permanent household staff?
Yes. We place permanent, temporary and seasonal household staff depending on your needs. Whether you need cover at short notice or a long-term addition to your team, we’ll work to find the right person for the situation.
What makes Bespoke Crew different from other household staff agencies?
We’re a specialist agency with roots in private service, not a generalist recruiter that covers household as one of many sectors. That background shapes how we assess candidates and how we understand what a UHNW household actually requires. We also keep our shortlists tight, never sending you more candidates than necessary, and we stay involved after placement to make sure the relationship is working well.
