Achieving Excellence Through Bespoke Hospitality & Private Staff Recruitment

Yes. Achieve Hospitality’s recruitment specialists provide hands-on support in crafting precise, compelling job descriptions for luxury hospitality and private household roles. We work directly with clients to refine job requirements, ensure expectations are clearly defined, and position each opportunity to attract the highest calibre of talent. Whether you are hiring a Private Chef, Estate Manager, or senior hotel leadership, we ensure your brief is accurate, thorough, and market-appropriate before any search begins.

We recruit globally. Achieve Hospitality places candidates across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Asia-Pacific, and the United States. Many of our UHNW and private household clients maintain multiple residences across different countries and require staff who are comfortable working across international locations. We also recruit for superyacht crew across key Mediterranean and Caribbean destinations, including Monaco, Antibes, Palma de Mallorca, and the British Virgin Islands. Wherever your requirement is based, we have the network and experience to support it.

Yes. Discretion and confidentiality are central to how we operate. We regularly conduct sensitive searches for private households, UHNW families, family offices, and organisations requiring executive-level backfills where privacy is non-negotiable. All searches are handled under strict confidentiality protocols, with NDAs in place where required. Client and candidate information is never disclosed without explicit consent, and our consultants are experienced in managing searches where even the existence of a vacancy must remain private.

Every candidate presented by Achieve Hospitality goes through a rigorous vetting process before reaching a client. This includes an in-depth consultant interview, reference checks with previous employers, and verification of qualifications and experience. Because we specialise in luxury hospitality and private staffing, we also assess discretion, cultural fit, service standards and suitability for demanding environments such as formal households, five-star hotels, private estates and superyachts.

To begin a search, we typically need a clear brief covering the role title and responsibilities, the location or locations involved, your preferred start date, salary or day rate expectations, and any specific qualifications or experience requirements. For private household and estate roles, it is also helpful to understand the household structure, the principal’s lifestyle, and any particular preferences around discretion or working style. The more context you can provide, the more precisely we can target the right candidates. Our consultants are happy to guide you through this process if you are unsure where to start.

We offer a 12-week replacement guarantee at no additional cost. If a placed candidate does not meet your expectations within the first 12 weeks, we will conduct a full replacement search free of charge. This applies across our permanent placement services and reflects our confidence in the quality of every candidate we present. Our goal is a long-term, successful placement – not just a filled vacancy.

Achieve Hospitality recruits across luxury hospitality, private households, estates, family offices, seasonal residences, retreats, and superyachts. We place senior leaders such as Hotel General Managers, Directors of Operations and Executive Chefs, as well as specialist private staff including Estate Managers, House Managers, Private Chefs, Butlers, Nannies, Yacht Captains and full household or hospitality teams.
