Trial, offer and 12-month care
Paid trial day in the house, offer support, payroll and HR handoff, written household standards and a twelve-month replacement guarantee.
Why Greenwich households staff differently
A Greenwich estate is rarely a single building. Back Country properties carry acreage, guest houses, barns, courts, pool houses and a rotating cast of grounds, snow and tree vendors. Belle Haven and Riverside waterfront homes add dock lines, seasonal closing and salt-air maintenance. In-town residences look simpler and often are not: they run at Manhattan pace, with a household calendar synchronized to an apartment in the city and a second home in Palm Beach, Nantucket or the Hamptons.
That structure decides who can hold the role. An estate manager here is a general manager of a small business: payroll for a household team, vendor contracts, capital projects, winter protocols for generators and nor'easters, and a documented standard the family never has to repeat. Hiring for hospitality polish alone, without operating depth, is the single most common reason a Greenwich placement fails inside a year.
Roles we place most often in Greenwich
Estate manager and house manager searches lead the market, followed by executive housekeepers with formal-service and art-handling training, private chefs who can move between family weekday meals and weekend entertaining, and nannies or governesses matched to the academic calendar of Greenwich Country Day, Brunswick, Sacred Heart or a Manhattan independent school.
Domestic couples remain the practical answer for Back Country properties that sit quiet for stretches of the year: one principal-facing role inside the house, one caretaking and grounds role outside it. Chauffeurs are briefed on the Merritt and I-95 commute, Westchester County Airport and Teterboro patterns, and the school run.
How the search stays invisible in a small town
Greenwich household networks overlap — staff know each other, and so do the families. Every Valmore search is retained and single-firm: we approach known professionals directly instead of advertising the role, candidates learn the region and the scope but never the family name or address until you approve introductions, and no candidate is ever presented to another principal while your search is open.
Verification comes before you meet anyone. Employment history, background and driving records, and reference chains across Fairfield County and Westchester households are confirmed first. AI organizes the job-related evidence; a senior partner approves a shortlist of up to six, and finalists work a paid trial day in the house before an offer.
Timing, guarantee and what it costs
Most Greenwich searches close in six to ten weeks. Estate managers and chiefs of staff for larger Back Country properties run eight to twelve weeks when relocation is involved, and seasonal households are best briefed eight to twelve weeks before the opening date.
The placement fee is 20% of the accepted first-year base salary, with a retainer of 20% of that fee credited at placement. Every placement carries a written twelve-month replacement guarantee, and a named partner remains your escalation point long after the start date.
