Are we seeing an unprecedented moment in private service? Brian Daniel thinks so — and he's sharing his insights in the latest episode of the Easemakers Podcast.

Brian Daniel has worked with billionaires, royalty and Hollywood A-listers — first as a personal assistant, and now as a recruiter. He’s seen it all in his 25 years in the industry, but he says today is a unique moment in history: a gilded age in private service.

Demand for private service roles is higher than ever. Salaries are climbing, and candidates are holding the cards.

At the same time, Brian says he’s seeing major changes in job descriptions, including a shift towards hybrid roles.

How can principals and private service professionals navigate the trends and find a long-lasting match?

  • Trends in salaries, turnover, job descriptions and more

Plus, in the lightning round, don’t miss his insights on balancing work and family (with a shout out to fellow Easemakers Podcast guest Bonnie Low-Kramen), and why his social media tagline is “wherever you’re at, knock ’em dead.”
