Why use a Butler service company for recruitment?

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.
