International Salaries
Our international sector has grown considerably over the last 5 years. From a long history of providing yacht and ski hosts to being specialists in recruitment for the Middle East, providing staff for palaces and businesses, helping candidates adjust to a different way of life and recruiting all over the world.
Most recently, we established a dedicated office in Switzerland and achieved the SECO licence. SECO is Switzerland’s federal Government’s centre of excellence for all core issues and we are one of very few recruitment agencies that has achieved a SECO Licence.
Today, we place candidates in full-time, part-time, temporary, travelling and contract positions across the globe, covering the whole of Europe, the USA, The Middle East, The Caribbean, African nations and many more sought-after locations. Quite a leap from a 2 person team providing private staff for residents in Victoria, London 25 years ago.
