Search Process

  1. Consultation: The process begins by scheduling a call to discuss your specific needs.
  2. Starting a Search: You will complete a short client profile with your household details. We will create a job description, collect the search fee and client agreement, and begin the search.
  3. Interviews: We will begin sending you a select group of pre-screened personal assistants to interview that match your search criteria, and bring one or two back for “trial time” to observe them in action as part of a working interview.
  4. Hiring: After you have found your perfect match and are ready to make an offer, we will prepare an employment agreement that includes the specific duties, compensation, and terms of employment. The placement fee is then due for the referral of your household staffing candidate.
  5. Ongoing Support: MBF is available to meet any of your post-placement needs, and can be contacted for industry recommendations / standards, appropriate expectations, and any necessary coaching or issue resolution.
