North House Placement Seal

We don’t fill positions.
We make introductions
that last.

North House Placement is a boutique retained search firm specializing in executive and household staff for ultra-high-net-worth individuals, private estates, family offices, and senior executives across the country.

Every search we conduct is personal, exclusive, and unhurried. We do not post job listings or cast wide nets. We source with intention, vet with rigor, and present only candidates we would stake our reputation on.

I
Retained Only

Every engagement receives our full, undivided focus. No contingency searches. No divided attention.

II
Absolute Discretion

Your household, your identity, and your candidates are protected at every stage. Always.

III
Boutique by Design

We deliberately limit our client roster. Fewer searches means each one receives the attention it deserves.

Two divisions.
One standard
of excellence.

North House Placement operates across two core practice areas — Executive Staff and Household Staff — each with dedicated sourcing networks, vetting protocols, and placement expertise. Whether you need a chief of staff who can anticipate your next move or an estate manager who runs a seamless household, we place the people others cannot find.

Executive Staff
Executive Assistant

Senior-level support for principals who demand precision — calendar, travel, communications, and stakeholder management at the highest standard.

Chief of Staff

Strategic operational partners for executives who need more than administrative support. Someone who owns outcomes and runs the office with quiet authority.

Personal Assistant

Dedicated support managing the professional and personal details of a principal’s life with seamless efficiency and absolute discretion.

Household Staff
Estate & Household Manager

The anchor of a well-run private residence. Oversight of all household operations, staff, vendors, budgets, and properties.

Private Chef

Culinary professionals trained for private service — from daily family meals to elevated private entertaining and complex dietary requirements.

Nanny

Trusted childcare professionals who bring warmth, structure, and impeccable discretion to the family home.

Housekeeper

Skilled household professionals who maintain impeccable standards of cleanliness, order, and presentation across private residences of any scale.

Security & Driver

Vetted protective and transportation professionals for high-profile principals and families requiring reliable, discreet service.

A structured process.
A personal experience.

01
Retained Engagement

Every search begins with a signed agreement and a thorough consultation. We learn your household, your culture, and the precise profile of the person you need. Your search is exclusive and dedicated to you.

02
Targeted Search

We do not post listings. We conduct a proactive, confidential search drawing on our proprietary candidate network, industry relationships, and careful outreach — nationally.

03
Rigorous Vetting

Every candidate undergoes in-depth interviews, background and MVR checks, minimum three reference verifications, and social media screening before being considered for presentation.

04
Curated Shortlist

We present a small, carefully selected shortlist — typically two to four candidates. Each accompanied by a detailed profile prepared by our team. Quality over volume, always.

05
Interview & Offer Support

We manage all candidate communication, coordinate interviews at your convenience, and provide offer negotiation support to reach a placement both parties are proud of.

06
Placement & Guarantee

Upon confirmed placement, we provide a 90-day replacement guarantee and remain available throughout onboarding. Our relationship with you does not end at the offer letter.
