"Greycoat was founded in 1996 and from the very beginning the driving philosophy has always been one of professionalism, integrity and trust. The company is determined to deliver an unrivalled service to its Clients and Candidates. The company began with a staff of two and has grown enormously since then, developing the business into further sectors, such as Catering & Hospitality offered by Lumleys, and expanding our Childcare sector to include Education, whereby we can now also source Private Tutors and Pastoral Staff for Independent Schools.

Our International sector aims to be as global as possible, endeavouring to fill any job registered with us, in any number of far flung locations (subject to Visa restrictions). Even though our recruitment operations are far reaching, we will always continue to offer a friendly, personal, discreet service.

The staff at Greycoat have always been carefully chosen for their personal experience and ability in their field. Our high quality service is directly related to the quality of the staff we employ. We invest in training and personal development for all our employees. Through motivation and team work, everyone at Greycoat is valued and successful in their roles, and this is evident in the service they then provide to their Clients and Candidates.

Managing Director, Debbie Salter says, “Our Clients may have the luxury of having private domestic staff, but do not have the luxury of time to be able to source the right people, and that’s where we come in. Our knowledge of the market is second to none and our reputation in providing the best quality service and building long term relationships means our Clients use us time and time again." ... more

4HomeHelp.com Mission:

"4HomeHelp is busy building America's first Household Staffing Portal, the first and last stop for domestic staffing. What does this mean?

American families today are challenged to find balance between their professional lives and their personal lives. Parents working outside the home need childcare. 4HomeHelp will allow families to perform a self-search for a nanny, or locate appropriate staffing services to provide more assistance.

American families need help in the home, whether a full time housekeeper, household manager, personal assistant, or a regular cleaning service. 4HomeHelp will allow families to perform a self-search for a housekeeper, personal assistance, etc. or to locate appropriate staffing services. Families looking for a weekly or bi-weekly cleaning service can search our directory of Cleaning Services.

Care for elderly family members needs to be located. 4HomeHelp allows families to perform a self-search for an elder companion or home health aide. Families may also search our database of Geriatric Care Managers to provide more coordinated care.

Can you trust your nanny applicant, the person applying to help your mother at home, your housekeeper? Children and the elderly are our most vunerable family members. 4HomeHelp lets families order pre-employment criminal screening (at the source, not from outdated databases), DMV records retrieval and search sex offender registries to help put your mind at ease. Searches are ordered online and results are generally available within 2 - 3 business days.

Families that employ staff in their homes become employers in the eyes of the Internal Revenue Service and their state's Department of Labor. The housekeeper or nanny was hired to make the family's life easier, who can help with the payroll issues? 4HomeHelp refers families to HomeWork Solutions Inc, a nationally respected household payroll and employment tax service.

In short, 4HomeHelp's mission is to help today's busy families find the home and family care services they need - because life is busy enough!" ... more

The IDPG
"the International Domestic Placement Group (IDPG) have the most competitive fee structures in the domestic industry."

The reason we can do this: Our large client base.

Most domestic agencies only place locally or even statewide. They have lower volume and therefore higher fees to the client. International Domestic Placement Group clients are located across the U.S. and internationally. We have literally hundreds of clients throughout the world and a database of thousands of the top domestic candidates. Our volume translates to a lower cost to you!

IDPG maintains the highest standards of quality. We successfully screen the very best domestic staff to match the needs of our selective clients.

The Process
The ProcessUsing our database, International Domestic Placement Group finds several candidates that meets your specific needs. Once you select your candidate, you are allowed a “working interview”, meaning you will then get the opportunity to “try out” this employee. By doing this, it saves you time and money, and lowers the chances of replacing the domestic at a later date. You will not be invoiced until you have fully accepted the domestic.

Background Checks
All candidates recommended by IDPG have full background investigations on file. We use a third party, licensed, private investigative firm. The background checks are available for you to review. GUARANTEED!

We strive to keep overhead to a minimum and therefore offer very competitive pricing for our placement services. Please contact us directly to learn more about our fees." ... more
