Boutique. Private. Referral-only. Starboard Staffing places the staff that exceptional households and offices are built around.
PRIVATE HOME & ESTATE STAFFING
From a city residence to a multi-property estate, we place the people who make it run. We understand that the same title means different things in different households — and we take the time to understand yours before we start.

EXECUTIVE & FAMILY OFFICE STAFFING

You’ll have a dedicated point of contact, full transparency throughout the search, and our honest assessment.
We won’t tell you what you want to hear.
We’ll tell you what you need to know.
Every search starts with understanding the people, the place, and the role. We take the time to understand what the position really requires and who is likely to thrive within it.
Our goal isn’t to send the most candidates. It’s to introduce the people we genuinely believe belong in the conversation.

01
LISTEN FIRST
We don’t start with candidates. We start with you — your household, your schedule, your standards. Then we search.
02
CURATED CANDIDATES
No bulk submissions. No resume dumps. Only people we'd recommend by name.
03
THOROUGH VETTING
References are personal conversations, not forms. Every finalist completes a comprehensive background check. Always.
04
PLACEMENT & FOLLOW-THROUGH
We negotiate, we place, and we follow through.
Once hired, the candidate is a direct employee of your home or office. The file closes. The relationship doesn't.
We don’t close files.
We maintain relationships.
The hire is the beginning — and we stay involved well beyond it. Every placement is the start of an ongoing relationship, not the end of a transaction.
