Head of Talent & Recruiting (Private Household)

LOCATION: Remote with the ability to work onsite as needed (Atherton, CA, 94027)

JOB TYPE: Full-Time (40 hours/week), Hourly (Non-Exempt), occasional after-hours availability

COMPENSATION: $150K–$220K DOE + benefits

The Role

This is a senior, hands‑on HR role with direct ownership of recruiting results for a private family estate. Your primary responsibility is not HR administration — it is delivering hiring outcomes under time pressure in a highly private, high‑trust environment. If your strength is mainly HR operations, compliance, or process, this role is likely not a fit.

What You Will Own

  • End-to-end recruiting for 10+ hires annually
  • Direct responsibility for time-to-fill, quality of hire, and long-term fit
  • Hiring for key, high-trust household roles (e.g., executive support, service leadership, and operational staff)
  • Defining role profiles, rejection standards, and hiring priorities
  • Driving hiring decisions with speed, judgment, and accountability
  • Knowing when to move fast—and when not to hire

Supporting Responsibilities

  • Onboarding and offboarding
  • Core HR operations and employee relations
  • Basic California compliance and risk awareness
  • Coordinating with external partners as needed

What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years HR and/or recruiting leadership experience
  • Proven ownership of hiring outcomes (not just support)
  • Experience in high-trust environments:
    • private households
    • family offices
    • luxury hospitality
    • executive support
  • Ability to clearly explain what you’ve hired, how fast, and why those decisions held up
  • High discretion, strong judgment, and independence

What Success Looks Like

  • Critical roles are filled quickly and correctly
  • Vacancies don’t keep reopening
  • Leadership doesn’t need to chase hiring decisions

Important

If you cannot clearly articulate:

  • what roles you can hire
  • how quickly you can hire them
  • how you balance speed with judgment

This role is likely not the right fit.
