Our standard

Discretion is a discipline.

Every candidate we introduce goes through the same four stages first.

01

Identity & right to work

We check ID and right to work before every introduction.

02

Principal references

Spoken references from previous households, taken personally.

03

Certificate of good conduct

Where the role justifies it, for example in childcare, the professional provides a certificate of good conduct.

04

In-person assessment

Craft, presence and discretion, assessed in a personal interview.

In confidence

Nothing shared without your consent.

A private conversation is the first step.

In confidence, without obligation.
