Family Offices: Benefits of Working with an Agency
百花视频 often works with single and multi-family offices, both to staff the family鈥檚 homes and/or estates, and, often, to staff the family offices themselves. Working with an agency that is experienced in dealing with family offices offers unique benefits, ranging from access to top-tier candidates and partnerships to long-term time and money savings. This week, we are outlining how some of these benefits can help your family in their staffing search.
Expert Advice
By using a domestic staffing agency, families benefit from the agency鈥檚聽wealth of knowledge聽from years of working directly with UHNW families. BAHS understands the unique needs of these families and can provide聽tailored and professional聽support no matter the circumstances. The agency can guide employers through every step of the process, from outlining what the role will entail and writing the job description to connection with a payroll company to be sure pay is tax-compliant and handled properly for the local laws. BAHS can also provide insight into local markets, competitive compensation packages, and how to structure roles that require a particularly demanding travel or work schedule.
Flexible and Efficient
BAHS is accustomed to the quickly changing needs of family offices, such as seasonal demands and unexpected transitions, and can assist with聽flexible support聽during these busy times. We understand that life isn鈥檛 predictable and can take on聽urgent searches, when needed, including聽in-home medical eldercare, companion care,听补苍诲聽last-minute travel roles.
Save Time and Money
By outsourcing the bulk of the search to an expert, employers can focus solely on finding the right candidate match – BAHS will聽source candidates worldwide, sort through resumes, handle initial interviews, and do background checks and references. We can also assist with聽contracts, onboarding,听补苍诲聽negotiations, all of which take significant time and resources. We support the search so that single-family offices and multi-family offices can focus their time and attention where it matters, instead of wasting time wading through resumes.

Access to Top Candidates
