Aleksandra Baker

Founder & Director

I founded Baker & Dunn, The Elite Staffing Agency, after two decades of dedicated service in private hospitality, catering to some of the world’s most prestigious families.

My career began in the superyacht industry at a young age, where I honed my skills in luxury service and operations before transitioning to managing grand mountain estates in Park City, Utah; Northern Montana and private Bahamian island properties. With extensive international and domestic experience, I have worked on the most exclusive residences and vessels worldwide, gaining invaluable insight into the industry’s demands.

As my career evolved, I took on leadership roles, overseeing estates and yachts while also managing staff placements. My firsthand experience in these roles allows me to expertly match top-tier talent with discerning clients all while building long lasting professional relationships. In addition to staffing, I am a trained butler and have provided silver service training to estates nationwide.

Having personally hired and managed elite teams throughout my career, I understand the nuances of each position, ensuring a tailored and seamless placement process. My commitment to excellence, discretion, and personalized service makes Baker & Dunn the premier resource for elite household staffing.

Elite match methodology refers to a strategic approach to recruiting and placing staff in high-end private estates and luxury homes. This methodology focuses on ensuring that the candidates not only possess the necessary skills and experience but also aligns with the specific needs and culture of the estate they will serve. Here’s a breakdown of key components:

1. Understanding Client Needs

Conduct in-depth consultations with estate owners or managers to understand their specific requirements, preferences, and the unique environment of the estate.
Identify the roles needed (e.g., house managers, chefs, housekeepers, groundskeepers) and the qualifications and characteristics desired in candidates.

2. Candidate Profiling

Develop detailed profiles for ideal candidates based on the client’s needs, including skills, experience, personality traits, and cultural fit.

Consider factors such as previous experience in similar environments, references, and specialized skills (e.g., culinary expertise, language proficiency).

3. Rigorous Screening Process

Implement a thorough screening process that includes interviews, background checks, and reference verifications to ensure candidates meet the high standards expected in elite estates.

4. Personalized Matching

Utilize a tailored matching system that considers both the candidate’s qualifications and the estate’s specific needs to create the best fit.

Ensure that the placement process is not just about filling a position but about creating a harmonious working relationship.

5. Ongoing Support and Feedback

Provide ongoing support to both the estate and the placed staff to ensure satisfaction and address any issues that may arise.

By employing elite match methodology, we can ensure that we deliver highly qualified and compatible staff, fostering a positive and efficient working environment on luxury estates.
