The process begins with a discreet, high-level intake to understand your private residence, your family office or your lifestyle needs. CourtesyMasters then approaches candidates through its trusted network and assesses them with dedicated tools, including OSINT-supported due diligence, before any introduction. Every step, from search to placement, stays personal and confidential.
How does the intake work?
The intake is held with the principal, the family office or a representative. It covers your lifestyle, the structure of the household and your expectations. From there, the role is defined in detail: the responsibilities, the experience required, any cultural sensitivities and the exact fit you are looking for.
Where do the candidates come from?
Candidates are handpicked from a trusted network of private staff professionals, with prior experience in UHNW or royal households and verified service credentials. The private clients team also has access to international networks, including off-market high potentials who are not visible on the open market.
How are candidates vetted?
Every candidate undergoes enhanced background checks, reference verification and personality matching before being presented. Each placement is matched on skill, and also on temperament, discretion and the ability to move with ease within a private residence.
What happens at the end of the search?
CourtesyMasters coordinates the introductions and the final interviews, handles the offer, and assists with trial periods or relocation where needed. You remain the only point of decision at every step.
How is your privacy protected?
No detail about your estates or your family leaves the conversation without your explicit agreement. Your privacy shapes every decision, from the first call to the final placement.
