COMPENSATION: $150K-$220K DOE + benefits
The RoleThis 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 pressurein 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, or 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
ImportantIf you cannot clearly articulate:
- what roles you can hire
- how quickly you can hire them
- and how you balance speed with judgment
this role is likely not the right fit.
