the Mountain West
Before
An entrepreneur mom in a Mountain West town with two young children, the youngest still in half-day school. The ask was modest and honest: lighten the load enough that she was not always on.
Why they chose Sage Haus
A deliberately small role in a thin local market is the hardest kind of search to run alone — the posting sites simply do not produce for it. Handing it to a recruiting team was the difference between a wish and a hire.
Sage Haus found their house manager
A light-touch scope shaped around school hours: resets, laundry, supplies and errands in the quiet part of the day. The search took nine weeks and a couple of false starts — and ended with a placement the family loves.
