Why use a Butler service company for recruitment?
You might be wondering “Why would I need a referral agency? Can’t I just find someone on my own without your help?”
If you want the least hassle possible, have the best domestic staff on the market, and free up a TON of your time to focus on what you actually want to do – there is no better option than to let us do the heavy lifting for you and match you with that perfect butler.
A butler service company connects independent butlers with clients who need their services. This makes the process of finding or hiring a butler a lot easier and faster than scouring through random online postings!
You get referred to a vetted butler with at least 5 years experience in a similar role to yours, and you can trial them in your own time.

Difference of a Butler and House Manager
Interestingly, the role of the House Manager and Butler has changed. Actually, the traditional ‘Upstairs Downstairs’ idea of a Butler still exists. However, often in more formal households. Having said that, these days, we are more often asked to find a modern Household Manager. Impressively, the House Manager is an intelligent, practical individual. Also, he or she is prepared to multi-task in all manner of areas.
Some examples are:
- First of all, management of other staff.
- Secondly, general management of a home. Or sometimes of a whole portfolio.
- Thirdly, events organisation.
- Of course, PA duties. For example, diary management.
- Finally, chauffeur duties.
More traditional duty examples are:
- offering formal table service.
- service of drinks.
- also, greeting guests.
- of course, valeting.
- importantly, care of the wine cellar.
- also, cleaning of silver, care of fine antiques and art.
- last but not least, organisation of shoots.
Of course, House Managers and Butlers are computer literate. Furthermore, they are often asked to travel with their employers. Sometimes they work in multiple homes and estates. In fact, some of them manage a whole portfolio of properties. Also, sometimes they are even asked to speak a second language.
