Recruitment process
How Valmore searches.
- Confidential intake with a senior partner — no shared marketplace
- Retained, single-firm search — never presented to other principals
- AI-assisted evidence review with human final decisioning
- Curated shortlist of up to six candidates, fully referenced
AI + human review
Evidence first. Humans decide.
Valmore uses AI to organize job-related evidence — experience, references, verified skills — and to recommend up to six candidates for consideration. Every shortlist is reviewed and approved by a senior partner. AI never makes the final employment decision, and Valmore never uses protected characteristics such as race, religion, sex, age or national origin.
Miami placements are handled under NDA. Candidates never see the principal's identity until you approve introductions.
Frequently asked
Common questions from Miami principals.
How long does a Miami search typically take?
Most Miami searches close in 4–8 weeks. Senior roles (Chief of Staff, Director of Residences) can run 8–12 weeks depending on relocation.
Do you place bilingual staff?
Yes. A large share of our Miami placements request English–Spanish fluency; Portuguese and French are also common in this market.
Can Valmore staff support yacht and aviation coordination?
We regularly place estate managers and chiefs of staff who liaise with captains, pilots and dispatch on behalf of the principal.
Is compensation published?
No. Compensation ranges are shared privately with retained clients after intake and reviewed against the specific residence, travel and scope.
