Detailed answer
Discreetly and personally. In a confidential intake, CourtesyMasters discusses your private residence, your standards and your preferences, and then introduces carefully assessed head chefs from its trusted network, supported by dedicated assessments and OSINT-supported due diligence.
What is discussed in the intake?
The intake is held with you, your family office or a representative. It covers your lifestyle, the structure of your household and your expectations of the role. From there, the role is defined: the responsibilities, the experience required, any cultural sensitivities and the exact fit you are looking for.
Which chefs are introduced?
Candidates are handpicked from a trusted network of private staff professionals, with prior experience in UHNW or royal households and verified service credentials. CourtesyMasters also recruits culinary leaders across hospitality, such as the Executive Chef it placed at a new luxury hotel in Beirut.
How are chefs assessed?
Every candidate is screened on background, verified references and personal character before you see a profile. Each placement is matched on skill, and also on temperament, discretion and the ability to move with ease within a private residence.
Can a trial period be arranged?
Yes. CourtesyMasters assists with trial periods where needed, and with relocation, as part of the final stage of the placement.
How do you start?
Book a confidential meeting with the private clients team. No detail about your residence or your family leaves the conversation without your explicit agreement.
