Whether you’re looking to hire a housekeeper or fill another specialized role, our journey in private household staff recruitment has been filled with success stories. Each story demonstrates our commitment to excellence and deep understanding of the ultra-high-net-worth (UHNW) sector. At WVB CONNECT, we take pride in finding the perfect fit for UHNW clients, meeting their unique and often complex needs.
Tailored Recruitment for Excellence
We’d like to share a particularly compelling case that showcases our expertise in sourcing multi-skilled candidates. In the UHNW household staffing world, we often receive requests that go beyond the conventional. We know the right candidate must match the client’s personal preferences and lifestyle. According to The Wealth Report by Douglas Elliman and Knight Frank, the number of UHNW individuals globally grew by 4.2% in 2023, reaching 626,619. This growing demand has made it more important than ever to hire household staff with diverse skills.
At WVB CONNECT, we believe no challenge is too big. Recently, a UHNW client approached us with a very specific request: they wanted a qualified medical nurse with a European hospital background who also had solid housekeeper experience. At first glance, this combination seemed difficult to find, but we thrive on such challenges.
Our Approach to Finding the Right Housekeeper
To meet this unique request, we took a strategic approach. We tapped into our vast network and used effective recruitment methods to engage with talent at all career stages. This allows us to maintain a diverse, highly skilled candidate pool, ready for even the most niche roles.
We started by targeting sources in both the medical and hospitality sectors, reaching out to our global contacts. Then, we rigorously screened housekeeper candidates to ensure they not only had the necessary qualifications but also understood the demands of working in a UHNW household.
Our experienced recruiters conducted in-depth interviews, assessing both technical and soft skills. We looked for candidates who demonstrated adaptability, discretion, and a service-oriented mindset — qualities crucial in the UHNW environment. After a thorough vetting process, we presented a shortlist of candidates. All of them met both the medical and housekeeping requirements, proving our ability to source multi-skilled professionals.
The Result
The client was impressed by our ability to find such niche housekeeper talent. This experience reinforced our reputation as leaders in UHNW household staffing. It highlighted our ability to meet even the most specific requests, our deep understanding of the UHNW sector, and our dedication to fulfilling every client’s needs.
