Overview
British American Household Staffing (BAHS) is seeking a thoughtful, detail-oriented Talent Acquisition Specialist to join our close-knit, highly collaborative team. This full-time role focuses on the candidate side of the recruitment process: finding, vetting, and preparing exceptional domestic professionals for successful placement with our clients. We are looking for someone to start in January 2027.
The Talent Acquisition team manages the early stages of the recruitment pipeline and plays a key role in maintaining the high standards our agency is known for. In addition to reviewing incoming applicants and proactively sourcing new talent, this role takes ownership of candidate reference checks, which are central to the integrity of our placement process.
You will work closely with our Placement Specialists to keep a steady flow of qualified, thoroughly vetted candidates moving across a variety of household roles.
Many successful members of our team previously worked as professional nannies, housekeepers, house managers, or estate staff. That firsthand understanding of the private service world matters here. You know what to look for in a candidate, how to frame a question, and how to read between the lines of what a reference is and isn't saying.
