How can a family office benefit from partnering with a domestic staffing agency?

Partnering with a domestic staffing agency like BAHS, which has years of experience in family office staffing, brings a wide range of benefits. Perhaps most importantly, BAHS has access to the top candidates; we don’t rely on job posting sites to find staff – many of our candidates are referrals from other top candidates and from clients themselves. We have strong personal relationships we have cultivated over years. We vet our candidates extensively, from conducting resume and background checks to taking detailed references and reviewing social media and online presence.

Our clients also benefit from our in-depth knowledge of compensation, job descriptions, laws, negotiations, and more. We have a large network of trusted international partnerships, equipped to help families in many situations, whether setting up a family office, acquiring citizenship in a country through investment, or navigating the competitive world of college admissions, we have partners who can help.
