Estate and Household Staff Recruitment, Led by Private Service Experience
Portico specializes in recruiting exceptional private household staff for families who expect discretion, professionalism and the right fit.
From estate managers, household managers, and private chefs to personal assistants, housekeepers, and nannies, we take the time to understand your household before we recommend a candidate.
Why Choose Portico?
Portico Inc. has been placing distinguished private service staff for families since 2017. The business draws on founder and CEO Scott Munden's 30+ years of experience in private service, luxury hospitality, and domestic staff recruiting. We understand what it takes to run a home successfully and how a well-matched team makes that possible.
Unlike agencies that send a steady stream of hopeful but unqualified candidates, we only send people we know can do the job. That starts with understanding the job order, your home environment, and your family's expectations.
We advise from decades of hands-on experience solving problems for luxury households, and we're never afraid to say "I don't know, but I can find out."
Recruiting can be taught.
Private Service Industry knowledge only comes with experience.

We had the pleasure of working with Portico to find a Cook Housekeeper for our family last year, and the experience was outstanding. From the start, Scott impressed us with his knowledge, professionalism, and warm, friendly demeanor. He maintained open communication throughout the process, making it smooth and stress-free.
Scott quickly presented us with excellent candidates, and the individual we hired has been a perfect fit - reliable, dedicated, and passionate about their role. Portico’s thorough reference-checking process gave us complete confidence in our choice.
Finding skilled household employees can be daunting, but Scott makes it effortless. His professionalism and genuine care for his clients are unmatched. We are incredibly grateful for his help and cannot recommend Portico highly enough.
