Recruitment process

How Valmore searches.

Confidential intake with a senior partner — never a shared marketplace
Retained, single-firm Greenwich search, NDA-protected end to end
Local reference chains verified across Fairfield County and Westchester households
AI-organized evidence review with human partner final sign-off
Shortlist of up to six fully referenced candidates, trial day at the residence

AI + human review

Evidence first. Humans decide.

Valmore uses AI to organize job-related evidence — experience, references, verified skills — and to recommend up to six candidates for consideration. Every shortlist is reviewed and approved by a senior partner. AI never makes the final employment decision, and Valmore never uses protected characteristics such as race, religion, sex, age or national origin.

Greenwich is a small town with a smaller household network. Every search is run under NDA and candidates learn the family's identity only after you approve introductions.

The Valmore process

How a Greenwich estate staffing search actually runs

Families searching for estate staffing agencies in Greenwich are usually replacing someone quietly, or opening a newly bought property before the season. Both need the same discipline: a written scope, a closed candidate pool and references that come from households you can actually verify.

1. Private intake at the residence
A senior partner meets the principal or chief of staff at the Greenwich property, documents the household calendar, service standards, staff structure, compensation band and non-negotiables, and agrees how the search stays invisible locally.
2. Closed, retained search across Fairfield County and New York
We approach known professionals directly rather than advertising the role. Candidates are told the region and scope, never the family, until you approve introductions.
3. Verification before you meet anyone
Employment history, background, driving record and reference chains are verified first; AI organizes the job-related evidence and a partner approves a shortlist of up to six.
4. Trial, offer and 12-month care
Finalists work a paid trial day in the house. After acceptance we handle payroll and HR handoff, written household standards and a 12-month replacement guarantee.

Frequently asked

Common questions from Greenwich principals.

Does Valmore work as a domestic staffing agency in Greenwich specifically?

Yes. Greenwich, Old Greenwich, Riverside, Cos Cob and Round Hill are a core service area, with placements coordinated alongside New York City and South Florida residences.

How long does a Greenwich estate staffing search take?

Most searches close in six to ten weeks. Estate managers and chiefs of staff for Back Country properties can run eight to twelve weeks when relocation is involved.

Can you staff a seasonal Greenwich household?

Yes. Summer-into-fall and winter-closing schedules are common; we also place staff who rotate between Greenwich and a Palm Beach or Hamptons residence.

Are Greenwich placements guaranteed?

Every placement carries a written 12-month replacement guarantee, and a named partner remains your escalation point after start date.
