How we deliver in Barcelona
Step 1
Confidential brief for Barcelona
One-on-one intake with the principal or chief of staff — role scope, household culture, calendar, compensation and non-negotiables.
Step 2
Discreet search & vetting
Retained, single-firm search: sourced candidates, references, background checks, trial engagements and AI-organized evidence review with human partner sign-off.
Step 3
Onboarding & 12-month care
Placement, onboarding, payroll/HR handoff and a 12-month replacement guarantee. A named partner remains your escalation point.
Eixample apartments and Pedralbes houses are two different searches
A Pedralbes or Sarrià house needs grounds, pool and a driver in the picture; an Eixample penthouse needs a house manager who can hold porter, building and contractor relationships in a dense city block. We separate the two before writing the brief, because the profile that succeeds in one rarely succeeds in the other.
Spanish–English fluency is standard, Catalan is common, and most placements are live-out. Where a family rotates between Barcelona and a residence in Florida, New York or Latin America, one named partner keeps a single reporting cadence across both houses.
Verification, trial and guarantee
Every candidate is background and reference verified before introduction, and finalists complete a paid trial day. The placement fee is 20% of the accepted first-year base salary, with a retainer of 20% of that fee, and a written twelve-month replacement guarantee.
Valmore runs the search and the offer; Spanish contracting, payroll and social-security registration are handled by the principal's advisors or a vetted local partner.
