Candidate Recruitment Process

Our recruitment process is designed with intention, care, and respect for both our clients and our candidates. We don’t just fill roles — we thoughtfully match experienced professionals with families and individuals who value their expertise. From the first conversation to final placement, our process is relationship-driven, ensuring every step reflects the integrity, alignment, and high standards that define our work.

Step 1: Submit a Complete Application

All candidates must submit the following:

  • Resume
  • Personalized cover letter
  • 2–3 letters of recommendation
  • Recent professional photo
Step 2: Preliminary Phone Screening

Once your application is reviewed, we’ll reach out for a brief phone screening to ensure alignment and answer any initial questions.

Step 3: In-Depth Interview

Candidates who move forward will complete a virtual or in-person interview with our placement team. We dive into your experience, preferences, strengths, and ideal work environment.

Step 4: Create Your Candidate Profile

We craft a detailed candidate profile that highlights your skills, personality, and professional strengths. This is what we’ll share with clients during the matchmaking process.

Step 5: Reference Checks & Screening

We personally contact your references and conduct internal screenings to verify work history, professionalism, and cultural fit.

Step 6: Apply & Match

We’ll match you with roles that align with your background and career goals. You can also express interest in listed opportunities on our job board. Each role is thoughtfully curated.

Step 7: Client Interviews

You’ll meet with clients (via Zoom or in-person) to determine mutual fit. We guide both sides through the process and offer support at every stage.

Step 8: Background Check

Once a client extends a letter of interest, we’ll conduct a thorough background check including identity verification, employment history, and optional additional screenings as needed.

Step 9: Work Agreement & Onboarding

We assist with aligning expectations and drafting a professional work agreement. Once terms are finalized, you’re ready to begin your new role—with full support from our team.
