About Merlo Private Staffing

Merlo Private Staffing is an international boutique recruitment agency specialising in the search and placement of exceptional professionals for private households, royal residences, ultra-high-net-worth individuals, family offices, private yachts and private aviation.

We work with clients whose environments require exceptional standards of discretion, professionalism, trust and service. Every mandate begins with a detailed understanding of the household, estate, family office or private operation involved — including its structure, lifestyle, culture, expectations and long-term requirements.

Our recruitment expertise covers Private Household Staff, Family Office Recruitment, Private Yachting Recruitment and Private Aviation Recruitment.

Through an international network and a highly selective search process, we identify professionals whose technical capabilities are matched by discretion, emotional intelligence, adaptability and cultural awareness.

Our approach is deliberately bespoke. We do not believe that successful private staffing is simply about matching a CV to a job description. Long-term placements depend on compatibility between the individual, the principal, the family and the wider private environment.

Candidate selection includes detailed interviews, professional reference checks, background screening and careful assessment of experience, service standards and suitability for the specific role. Only candidates considered genuinely aligned with the client’s requirements are presented.

Merlo Private Staffing operates internationally, supporting clients across Europe, the United Kingdom, Switzerland, Monaco, the United States, the Middle East and other global locations.

Our objective is not simply to fill positions, but to help private clients build reliable, discreet and high-performing teams that provide continuity, stability and exceptional service over the long term.
