The standard of service that your home deserves
Our Private Staffing Placement Process
At Land & Sea Chef Agency, our private staffing process is discreet, personalized, and designed around the needs of your home. From the first confidential consultation to the final placement, every detail is handled with care, precision, and a deep understanding of luxury household service.
We take time to understand your lifestyle, household structure, service expectations, schedule, and long-term staffing goals before introducing qualified candidates.
Client Investment for Private Staffing Searches
Following your complimentary discovery consultation, a non-refundable $500 deposit is required to begin your personalized private staffing search. This investment activates the search process and supports the strategic planning, candidate outreach, market expertise, and careful vetting required to identify the right match for your household.
The deposit is applied toward your final placement fee upon a successful hire, reflecting our commitment to a thoughtful, results-driven placement experience.
Private Staffing Placement Fee
Our placement fee is a one-time fee equal to 16% of the candidate’s gross annual compensation.
This fee includes access to our full private staffing recruitment process, including candidate sourcing, careful selection, in-depth evaluations, reference review, placement coordination, and post-hire support. Every search is designed to create a successful long-term match between your household and your selected private service professional.
Your placement is protected by a 6-month guarantee. As a gesture of appreciation, first-time clients receive a preferred rate on their second placement with Land & Sea Chef Agency.
Begin Your Confidential Staffing Search
Submit a private inquiry, and a placement director will contact you to schedule a confidential consultation. We will discuss your household staffing needs, answer your questions, and outline the next steps for beginning your personalized search.
Your Household Vision, Our Private Staffing Expertise
Since 2017, Land & Sea Chef Agency has supported prominent households nationwide by placing experienced private chefs and household professionals in long-term roles. Our placement approach is detailed, discreet, and highly personalized, with every candidate evaluated for experience, professionalism, references, service standards, and fit within your home.
Your search begins with a private consultation to understand your household, lifestyle, schedule, expectations, and preferred style of service. Chef Jonathan Wilson and the Land & Sea team use this insight to create a focused placement strategy and identify candidates who align with both the role and the environment.
Our process goes beyond qualifications. We evaluate each candidate’s background, communication style, discretion, adaptability, and ability to provide exceptional private service. Once a placement is made, we remain involved through the transition to help establish expectations and support long-term success between client and candidate.
