Nantucket’s Unique Hiring Challenges
Finding Qualified Candidates:
The island's remote location can deter potential candidates, making the selection process extremely competitive. Our agency has access to the best household staff in the industry with the ability to travel to seasonal locations like nantucket or live-in or off-site year round. Our rigorous vetting process guarantees that you receive star candidates with impeccable credentials and proven track records.
Staff Retention:
High turnover rates, particularly due to the seasonal nature of work on the island, can disrupt continuity. We provide support in creating attractive employment packages and fostering a positive work environment, which enhances staff loyalty and job satisfaction.
Seasonal Needs and Temp Staff:
The seasonal nature of Nantucket's population means fluctuating staffing needs. Plan ahead for peak seasons by securing temporary staff in advance. Serafina Staffing offers flexible hiring options and clear communication about seasonal expectations, helping you manage this transition smoothly.

You can also hire our local candidates if needed. They reside in Massachusetts and take the ferry to the island.
