How we deliver in London
Step 1
Confidential brief for London
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.
A London household is judged on discretion and continuity
Belgravia, Kensington and Mayfair households run on small, permanent teams: a house manager who holds the diary and the contractors, an executive housekeeper who protects the interiors, and a chef who can move between family service and formal entertaining. The brief matters more than the CV — hours, travel, guest cadence and who actually decides are written down before the search opens.
Most of our London mandates come from families who also keep a residence in Florida, New York or Iberia. We write the role around that rotation: cover during the months the principals are away, a single reporting line, and staff who are comfortable working alongside a second household team abroad.
Verification, trial and guarantee
Every candidate is background and reference verified before introduction, with evidence organised by AI and signed off by a senior partner; finalists complete a paid trial day at the residence. 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, the verification and the offer. Contracting, payroll and UK employment compliance sit with the principal's own advisors or a vetted local partner.
