Partner-led search for senior management, directors, regional representatives, family office staff and private personnel. NDA-protected by default.
EMPTEAM runs partner-led searches for senior corporate roles across the GCC, Europe and selected international markets. Engagements are NDA-protected from first call, owned by a single partner end-to-end, and delivered as defensible three-to-five-candidate shortlists rather than CV piles.
Tailored confidential searches for senior leadership — written brief, defined milestones, partner-owned delivery.
Vice presidents, senior vice presidents and heads of function for international organisations across the GCC and Europe.
Executive directors, board directors and non-executive directors — placed under full NDA with reference checks completed before shortlist.
Country managers and general managers for regional operations, standalone business units and new market entries.
Heads of HR, finance, operations, commercial and other corporate functions for growing international organisations.
Senior commercial leaders for market entry, channel partnerships and growth-stage business development across regions.
Country and regional representatives placed on behalf of international employers without an existing local presence.
Senior specialists where the role demands deep domain expertise rather than generalist seniority — placed by written brief.
Confidential by default. Sensitive mandates are never publicly listed. Every brief is handled under NDA from the first conversation.
Partner-owned. One partner owns the mandate end to end — sourcing, assessment and shortlist — with no junior hand-off.
Defensible shortlists. Three to five candidates, each vetted at source and defensible against the written brief.
EMPTEAM supports principals, family offices and private employers with the discreet recruitment of trusted personal and household staff — from executive assistants and butlers to private chefs, drivers, wellness professionals and household managers. Every placement is handled with the discretion expected at this level: NDA from first conversation, no named-client references, vetting at source.
Right-hand professionals for principals — diary engineering, travel architecture, family rhythm. Polished, multilingual, fluent in protocol.
For CEOs, founders and chairs — board-grade discretion, stakeholder management, written register and travel control.
Formally trained butlers (Ivor Spencer, Magnums, or equivalent) — senior service leadership for principal residences.
Day-to-day operational leadership of the residence — staff, supplier relationships, household systems, the principal's standards executed daily.
For multi-property estates and yacht operations — staff teams of 10+, budgets, suppliers, security coordination, SOP design.
Defensive-driving certified, discreet, security-aware. Prior principal-facing experience and the temperament for an unpredictable working day.
Private chefs trained in fine-dining and family-table service — placed across residences, yachts and travelling households.
Certified massage therapists for private residences and family offices — vetted for discretion as much as for technique.
Wellness coaches, nutritionists, recovery specialists and lifestyle wellness professionals placed in private households.
Certified personal trainers placed in private residences, family offices and travelling households.
Trained nannies (Norland or equivalent where required) — police-checked, references confirmed directly with previous principals.
Experienced domestic helpers placed with private families — vetted at source, with prior international household experience preferred.
Operational support staff for the principal's private office — chiefs of staff, governance, lifestyle coordinators.
Investment, governance, finance and family-facing operational hires for single and multi-family offices.
