Randolphs

What Randolphs does

Randolphs is a London-headquartered private domestic household staff recruitment agency founded in 1999, operating as both an employment agency and employment business. The firm places high-calibre service staff including housekeepers, butlers, domestic couples, nannies, maternity nurses, governesses, tutors, private carers, chauffeurs, private chefs, and family/corporate office personnel (chiefs of staff, executive assistants, personal assistants) into permanent, temporary, rota, and seasonal roles on live-in or live-out arrangements.

The company earns revenue through transaction-based placement fees on both permanent and temporary/contract engagements, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Its technology stack is minimal: a marketing and lead-generation website, a Vincere.io-powered candidate portal for registration and job alerts, and Google Analytics for site measurement. There is no proprietary AI or matching technology, and the core delivery model is human consultant-led matching by a senior recruitment team.

Geographically, Randolphs positions itself as serving London, the broader United Kingdom, Europe, Switzerland, the Middle East, and select international locations including Milan, New York, and Brazil. The business is owner-operated with no disclosed institutional investment; leadership comprises a Managing Director (Steven), a Senior Recruitment Consultant (Eva), and a Senior Consultant & Office Manager (Desrin). Over its 25-year history, the firm has extended its offering through a dedicated Carers Desk (2021), a Housekeeper Training add-on, and a Security Service (2024), incrementally broadening the addressable verticals within the HNW household staffing market.
