Our Candidate Vetting & Matching Process
Finding the right candidate isn’t about finding the most resumes. It’s about finding the right person.
When you work with us, you aren’t simply gaining access to a database of applicants. You’re gaining a team that takes the time to screen, interview, get to know, verify, and thoughtfully match candidates before they are presented to your family.
Step 1: Initial Phone Screening
Every candidate begins with an initial phone conversation with our team.
We discuss their:
Professional background and experience
Education and qualifications
Availability
Career goals
Interest in the position/working with our agency
Expectations for their next opportunity
This first conversation helps us determine whether the candidate should move forward in our process.
Step 2: In-Depth One-on-One Interview
Candidates who pass the initial screening move on to a more extensive one-on-one interview.
This is where we go beyond the resume.
We ask detailed questions about their experience, responsibilities, problem-solving abilities, communication, personality, work style, values, and goals.
We want to understand the person behind the resume.
This helps us determine not only whether someone is qualified to perform the job, but whether their personality and approach to work could be a good fit for the type of family and environment they are entering.
Step 3: Comprehensive Candidate Profile
Candidates who successfully complete our interview process create a detailed candidate profile.
Profiles may include:
Professional experience
Education
Skills and qualifications
Personal and professional bio
Career goals and preferences
References
This gives families substantially more insight than a traditional resume alone.
Step 4: Personal Reference Checks
References aren’t simply collected and placed on a form.
We personally contact and verbally check references.
The information and feedback we receive is documented and included in the candidate’s profile so families can review it when considering a candidate.
Step 5: Matching From Our Candidate Database
One of the advantages of our process is that we maintain a database of candidates who have gone through our screening and vetting process.
This means we aren’t limited to simply presenting candidates who have recently applied for one particular position.
Instead, we can look across our vetted candidate pool and consider who may be the strongest match based on the family’s specific needs.
We consider factors such as:
Experience • Skills • Personality • Communication Style • Work Style • Values • Preferences • Goals • Family Needs
Step 6: Selective Candidate Presentation
This is where our matching process really matters.
We don’t believe in sending families a stack of resumes and asking them to figure it out themselves.
We carefully review candidates against the specific requirements and dynamics of the position and only present profiles of candidates we believe could be a strong match.
Our goal isn’t to send you the most candidates. It’s to send you the right candidates.
Step 7: Final Background & Driving Checks
Our process continues through the final stage of hiring.
Before a hire is finalized, candidates undergo applicable:
Criminal background checks
Driving record checks
This provides an additional level of screening and confidence as the family moves toward making a final hiring decision.
Why Our Matching Process Matters
Anyone Can Create a Resume. We Take the Time to Know the Person Behind It.
A resume can tell you where someone has worked and what qualifications they have listed.
It can’t tell you everything about:
How they communicate
How they interact with others
Their personality and temperament
What type of environment they thrive in
What they’re looking for in a position
Whether their values align with your family’s expectations
That’s why our matching process goes beyond qualifications.
We take the time to understand both sides of the match—the candidate and the family—so that the candidates we present are selected with the bigger picture in mind.
You Don’t Need More Resumes. You Need the Right Match.
We do the initial work of screening, interviewing, verifying references, and evaluating fit so your family can spend less time sorting through candidates and more time getting to know the people who may truly be right for your home.
A Model That Attracts Exceptional Talent
Candidates never pay us a fee or have anything deducted from their compensation. This allows us to build trust with top professionals and attract candidates who are selective about the opportunities they pursue.
Because families are our clients, our focus remains on understanding your needs, identifying exceptional candidates, and creating the right long-term match.
