In homes today, technology is no longer a luxury — it’s the foundation of how we live, work, and relax. From smart lighting and voice-controlled assistants to security cameras and app-based systems, modern residences are evolving at a rapid pace. For households looking to keep up, the staffing needs have changed too. At Solitaire Consultancy Services, we’re seeing a clear shift: the domestic support team you hire now must be technologically adept, as much as they are reliable and professional.
Smart-home platforms, automation systems, and digital workflows are becoming standard in high-performing homes. According to industry analysis, the home services market is poised to grow significantly by 2025, partly driven by smart home integration and connected-device demand.

For staffing, this means a chef who knows how to work with app-based inventories, a house manager who can supervise smart climate control and automated vendor alerts, or a nanny who understands how to manage tablets, online learning platforms, and child-friendly technology.
Why does this matter? Because the presence of technology alone does not guarantee smooth living — the human element behind it does. When your staff are comfortable with tech, they’re more efficient and proactive. They anticipate problems (“The air-filter alert went off — we’ve ordered the cartridge”), they maintain systems (“The smart-lock firmware update is scheduled for 2 pm”), and they integrate their roles into your connected lifestyle. This leads to fewer disruptions, more convenience, and — most importantly — peace of mind.
At Solitaire Consultancy Services, we ensure our candidates go through screening not only for classic skills like reliability, discretion, and emotional intelligence, but also for tech-adaptability. We ask about their comfort with apps, smart-home systems, digital scheduling, and remote monitoring. We train them to understand how smart homes function, how vendor coordination works through platforms, and how to handle digital tools with confidentiality and competence.
In conclusion, as homes get smarter, your staffing should too. The right team is one that blends traditional domestic excellence with modern technological fluency. With the right professionals in place, your home becomes more than just managed — it becomes intelligent, seamless, and future-ready. At Solitaire, we’re proud to place staff who meet this new standard of excellence.
