Next Steps After In-Person Interview

After a successful second round interview, we will help you to present a written job offer to the candidate of your choice. Alternatively, you may choose to arrange a 1-3 consecutive day paid trial alongside a written job offer.

Trial Period

A trial is not required, but if you would like to invite your final round candidate for a trial, please let us know and we will arrange the details. Families may trial a My Household Managed candidate for up to 3 consecutive days, after a written offer has been presented to the Candidate, with the offer contingent upon a successful trial. Candidates are to be paid directly for their time worked and at the hourly rate advertised in the offer letter.

Work Agreement

Candidates typically expect an offer within 72 hours of the second interview. Upon your readiness, we'll draft a worksheet detailing pay, benefits, schedule, start date, and employment terms for your review. After confirmation, return it to us for conversion into a formal offer letter, including clauses like social media and confidentiality. Candidates often interview with other families until an offer is secured, so prompt action helps secure your ideal candidate. A written offer through our agency initiates the official background check process.

New Hire Onboarding

We offer tools such as employer success guides, employee performance review packets, household manuals, social media screening reports, and DISC personality assessments. These resources are designed to ensure that both you and your new hire are aligned and set up for long-term success. We believe that a thorough and thoughtful onboarding process is one of the biggest predictors of a successful placement. In addition to our comprehensive guarantee policy, we provide these additional resources to help you start off on the right foot and foster a positive, lasting employment relationship.
