For house managers

    Grow your house manager career on verifiable references

    Private household work runs on trust and word of mouth. Keep that word of mouth somewhere a family can actually read it.

    The reviews you earn go to the agency

    House managers, estate managers and personal assistants are hired almost entirely on references — and references live in a placement agency's file, or in a phone call you have to arrange every time.

    The result is a career of excellent work with almost no public, checkable record of it.

    The gap: a business rating answers “is this place any good?”. It never answers “is this house manager any good?” — which is the only question your next client is actually asking.

    What changes when the reputation is yours

    • Verified reviews from families you have worked with
    • Responsibilities and household size described clearly
    • One link to send with any application
    • A record you keep when you change agencies

    How it works

    1. Claim your @handle

      One free profile in your name, marked as a house manager, with your services and area.

    2. Ask after each appointment

      Share one link or QR code while the client is still happy. It takes them under a minute.

    3. Share the proof

      Send your profile to referrals, print the QR, and let verified reviews do the convincing.

    What a strong house manager profile shows

    • Scope you handle: staff, vendors, budgets, travel, calendars
    • Verified references from previous households
    • Availability and preferred arrangement
    • Certifications and background checks you hold

    What clients say when the review has your name on it

    Example reviews showing how clients talk about a house manager once the feedback lives on the house manager's profile instead of the agency's page.

    • Sent by the agency the first time, booked the house manager directly after that. Their profile had the proof I needed.

      One-off job

    • I've recommended this house manager to three neighbours — I just send the profile link instead of retelling the story.

      Referred by a neighbour

    • Every job photographed and reviewed in one place. Much better than a five-star rating for a company I never meet.

      Typical time for a client to leave a review

    • 100%

      Reviews that stay with the house manager, not the agency

    Example reviews shown for illustration. Real reviews on Kleos are verified and attributed to the client who left them.

    Does this compete with Google reviews?

    No, and it should not. Google reviews belong to the business and help it get found — keep asking for them. Kleos records the part Google cannot: which house manager did the work. The same client can review the agency on Google and review you on Kleos in the same minute.

    If you want the Google side sharper too, our how to ask for a google review: 18 scripts covers the ask, the timing and the follow-up rules.
