Built for the world where discretion is non-negotiable.
One centralised candidate profile. Cross-referenced by referees and accredited agencies. A unique verification code — recognised by agencies and family offices.
Developed for HNW/UHNW household and lifestyle staffing. Designed to scale across luxury hospitality.
Over 2,000 agencies are calling the same ultra-private HNW/UHNW clients — repeatedly — to verify the same candidates from scratch, every single time.
A top candidate registers with multiple agencies. Each agency calls the same former UHNW employer to verify references. That principal is now fielding dozens of unsolicited calls.
Each of those 2,000+ agencies independently verifies the same candidate from scratch. There is no shared system. No verified record that travels with the candidate.
Candidates are asked to hand over their most private professional contacts — including the personal details of ultra-high-profile principals — with no guarantee the job even exists.
Fraudsters posing as legitimate private household staffing agencies advertise across LinkedIn and major job portals, collecting candidate applications as usual — but their real target is not the candidate. It is the reference.
In the US alone, reported losses to job and employment-agency scams rose from €79 million in 2020 to €430 million in 2024, as the number of reports tripled. That is one country.
Of all the sectors these figures cover, private household staffing is among the most exposed: sensitive details about UHNW families pass from party to party — candidate, agency, referee — with little protection along the way.
A broken trust system is costing everyone — candidates, agencies, and the world’s most private clients.
The architecture that protects the principal also protects the person walking through their door.
Private household staff sit in one of the least protected corners of the labour market: domestic workers worldwide are widely excluded from labour law, and the sector has no union structure and no accepted way to prove that an agency, a role or a reference is real.
Fake agencies exploit this, approaching staff about roles that do not exist in order to charge illicit placement fees, or posing as legitimate recruiters simply to harvest references and compromise sensitive client data such as addresses and contact details.
Nayastrea vets every agency at registration, and gives the candidate a verified career record they own and carry, reducing the need to re-expose personal documents at every approach.
The result is verified trust running in both directions — and, for family offices, the social pillar of ESG applied to the household itself.
Identity, references and credentials — verified once, stored securely.
AI and cross-referenced verification creates a lasting record — recognised by accredited agencies and family offices. Candidate-controlled access reduces ghosting.
Trusted credentials, protected privacy, and accelerated placements.

Register as agencyNayastrea addresses four persistent challenges in the UHNW staffing industry: principals disturbed by repeated reference calls, recruitment fraud that compromises sensitive data and exhausts candidate patience, fragmented credentials, and placement processes that are delayed for weeks while documents are manually verified.
My career spans 7 years as a chef and private chef, alongside 12 managing estates for UHNW and Royal principals across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia.
I have led UHNW household teams of 200+, overseen multi-property portfolios, and worked directly alongside some of the world's most demanding principals. Those years taught me what they truly require: reliability, absolute discretion, and people who can anticipate needs before they arise.
I also saw the other side: fraud, falsified references, data leaks, and a verification process that is fragmented, inconsistent, and structurally flawed. Nayastrea is my answer to it — built from the inside out, by someone who has lived this problem on both sides.
