The right professional,found quietly.
We recruit for private residences, estates, villas, superyachts and luxury operations. Our current specialist expertise is private culinary talent; the same standard of search will extend to further household categories.
What working with us looks like.
A personal point of contact
One senior person handles your search from first conversation to placement. No hand-offs, no ticketing systems.
A written brief before any approach
We agree responsibilities, locations, travel, compensation range and the personal qualities that matter, in writing, before a single candidate is contacted.
A shortlist, not a stack of CVs
You see a small number of genuinely suitable professionals, each with our assessment and the reasoning behind it.
Confidentiality throughout
Your identity is never used in advertising and never disclosed to candidates without your consent. An NDA is available before details are shared.
Wherever the role is based.
Private Residences
City residences and principal homes require professionals who understand privacy, family rhythm and the standards of formal and informal service alike.
Estates and Villas
Estates and villas bring seasonal peaks, entertaining at scale and periods of quiet stewardship. Staff must manage both with equal composure.
Superyachts
Yacht placements demand maritime experience, appropriate certification, provisioning judgement in remote waters and the temperament for close-quarters professionalism.
International Travel
Travelling roles follow the principal's calendar: multiple residences, chartered travel and changing kitchens. Flexibility and documentation readiness are essential.
Private Events
Event engagements call for professionals who arrive prepared, deliver quietly and leave no administrative burden behind.
Luxury Operations
Private clubs, family-office environments and exclusive hospitality operations recruit from the same pool of discreet, internationally experienced professionals.
A shortlist arrives as a private introduction.
No stack of CVs. Each candidate we put forward comes as a six-part dossier, prepared for you alone and marked confidential. This is the document your search produces.
