Private Chef Placement Terms & Unrivaled Speed of Service
The Power of a 30-Year Network
Within 24 to 48 hours, clients receive a curated shortlist of 6 to 8 qualified candidates — a pace that sets us apart from the industry standard of 7 to 10 business days.

The 48-Hour Standard
Leveraging a placement legacy established in 1995, we provide a level of responsiveness that is unique among boutique agencies. Once your specific household requirements are finalized:
- Rapid Presentation: We typically present a curated shortlist of 6 to 8 qualified candidates within 24 to 48 hours.
- Same-Day Rush Service: For principals in immediate need, our deep network often allows us to provide qualified resumes the same day of the inquiry.
- The PCI Bench: This efficiency is the product of a 30-year head start. We maintain an active, deep bench of elite culinary talent across our international network, spanning the United States, Canada, and the Caribbean. While other agencies begin their search by posting ads, we start by tapping into an existing network of proven professionals we have known and vetted for decades.
- Confidentiality: Every search is conducted with the absolute discretion and trust required by high-profile families and family offices.
