The Private Standard was founded on the staff side of the door.

Fifteen years inside private households at the highest level, from principal residences in the Gulf to estates in Europe, as the trusted hire, not the agency.

We know what determines whether a placement holds, because we have watched wrong hires unravel households from the inside.

And we live and operate in the Gulf. On the ground, not in an office in London.

Every engagement is personally overseen by our founder.

Ultra-high net worth families open their homes, their children’s lives, and their privacy to the people who work for them.

What they want in return is simple: conduct, discretion, and service they never have to question.

That is why every professional we place signs the Candidate Service Agreement, a personal commitment to the standard our principals expect, before they ever join a household.

If that raises your ambitions rather than your doubts, we would like to meet you.

Loyalty is not a qualification. Not through any fault of theirs.

Because nobody in this industry ever held them to a standard. Until now.

Every programme is delivered in house, inside your household, and prescribed to what your home needs.

First aid. Water safety. Swimming.

The Professional Nanny Standard. Chef. Butler.

Etiquette. Advanced safe driving. Professional organising. Flower arranging. Language.

The right training, for the right member of staff, at the right level.

The people inside your home know more about you than your board does.

Your routines. Your children’s schools. Your guests, your finances, your family’s private life.

We provide discreet, intelligence led due diligence through partners drawn from military, law enforcement, and government intelligence.

Certainty about who is inside your world.

It begins with eight minutes.

Ultra-high net worth households run on trust.

The people they hire hold their keys, their routines, their children’s days, and the most private details of their lives.

So, they do not want a CV. They want a record, discretion, and the ability to enter a family’s private world without friction and without noise.

If you hold the experience, the discretion, and the standard these households require, we will welcome a conversation.

These are the people who hold your keys, your routines, your children’s trust, and the most intimate details of your private life.

Most households only discover the gaps, the missing manual, the lapsed certificate, the reference nobody truly checked on the day those gaps matter.

You should never have to discover them that way.

In plain terms.
We recruit your household and family office staff.
We train the team you already employ.
We vet everyone who enters your world.

And we put in place what most households have never had: a written house manual, a proper onboarding for every new hire, NDAs signed and on file, first aid and water safety that never lapse.

Tell us the problem. Leave the solution to us.
