Tailored Recruitment Solutions for Your Private Staffing Recruitment Needs

Our dedicated private recruitment division works with households and family offices that require lifestyle and administrative support. Unlike other recruitment agencies, our consultants have previously worked in the private sector – we’ve held roles in family offices as private PAs, private chefs in country estates and onboard superyachts. This gives them a personal insight into the unique requirements of hiring private staff, ensuring they source the ideal candidate for your household.

We also offer a household consultancy service, designed to help employers address issues like high staff turnover, unclear job descriptions, and poorly managed work rotas.

If you’re looking to hire private staff, contact us by calling +353 16111524 or email our consultants today.

Frequently asked questions

Find a few of our most frequently asked questions below. If you have further questions about the recruitment process, get in touch today!

What types of private and family office support roles do you recruit for?

We recruit for a range of different roles including, but not limited to, PAs, chiefs of staff, estate managers, house managers, chefs, butlers and chauffeurs.

What are private recruitment agencies?

A private recruitment agency provides hiring advice, interview guidance and a shortlist of suitable candidates to private individuals and family offices. The roles that a private recruitment agency recruits for include private personal assistants, chiefs of staff, house managers and more. They can assist with permanent appointments; contract hires or temporary placements of one day or more.

Is it cheaper to use an agency for staff?

Using an agency to help you find staff can cut down on both costs and time spent finding the right person. The hiring process can be long and time-intensive if you do it yourself, so working with an agency often proves the more economical option overall.

What is the most popular recruitment agency?

There are several large international recruitment agencies that recruit high volumes of jobseekers. Tiger is also international, but each of our offices adopts a bespoke methodology for recruitment. This means that our clients and jobseekers continue to experience a service that is highly personalised. Our consultants maintain strong relationships with both employers and candidates, so they understand the nuances of each party’s requirements.
