Staffing Options for Your Portfolio

Chef Placement — Tailored quote (B2B portfolio rate). This is our partnership-tier placement fee for villa managers — a flat B2B rate that replaces the standard placement model (one month's salary) quoted on our other staffing pages. Pre-vetted chef profiles, a cooking trial session, background verification, contract preparation, payroll guidance and a 30-day replacement guarantee. Best for a single villa or small portfolio.

Service Staff Pool — Tailored quote retainer. Standing access to our vetted service staff: front-of-house coverage, housekeeping support, on-call replacements, monthly performance reviews and a dedicated account manager. Best for villa managers with rotating guest schedules.

Full Hospitality Package — Tailored quote. Chef and service staff bundled: full kitchen and front-of-house coverage, event staffing included, vendor relationship management, weekly reporting and priority placement. Best for multi-villa portfolios and private estates.

Every option includes the same vetting stack, replacement guarantee and account support. Villa managers with three or more properties receive tiered partnership discounts — ask us for a custom rate sheet based on your portfolio size.

Why Villa Managers Outsource Hiring to Us

Recruiting one housekeeper can eat two weeks of a manager's month. Across twelve properties, turnover becomes a full-time job you never hired for. We absorb that entire function:

• Speed. Our pre-vetted candidate pool fills most roles within 48–72 hours. Emergency placements are available for retainer clients — because a villa cannot go into a booking weekend short-staffed.
• Continuity. If a placed staff member leaves, retainer clients receive priority re-matching at no additional placement fee. Your roster stays full; your reviews stay intact.
• Flexibility. Staffing that scales with occupancy — surge support for high season and events, lean coverage when bookings soften. Ideal for short-term rental portfolios.
• One partner, one invoice. Chefs, service staff and event coverage under a single account, with monthly performance tracking across your properties.

Need bar staff, cocktail menus or bar management for your properties? Our bar services division covers the beverage side.

What a partnership replaces. No more classified ads between check-outs, no more interviewing on your phone from a villa driveway, no more hoping a last-minute replacement shows up. You send one brief; we return vetted profiles, handle trials and contracts, and stay accountable through the placement — with a dedicated account manager who knows your properties and your standards.

Vetting: Your Reputation Protected

A bad hire at a managed property costs you a review, an owner relationship, or both. Every candidate in our pool passes:

1. Identity verification
2. Reference checks with previous employers
3. Skills assessment for the specific role
4. A trial session or trial shift before joining the pool

All placements include standard Indonesian employment contracts and payroll guidance — including BPJS and THR obligations — and for larger portfolios we can recommend integrated payroll partners.

How Partnership Works

1. Brief. Share your properties, guest profiles and staffing needs.
2. Shortlist. Receive matched candidates for your properties — typically within 48 hours.
3. Trials. Trial sessions at your villa with top candidates.
4. Placement. Contracts, onboarding and first-week support.
5. Ongoing. Monthly reviews, replacements and dedicated account management.

For villa managers who also want to offer guests private dining, our certified partner programme formalises referrals — while this page covers the staffing side of your operation.
