Shire & Wold delivers tailored recruitment solutions across Europe, supporting ultra-high-net-worth individuals, private residences, family offices, and luxury brands.
Europe presents a diverse and highly nuanced recruitment landscape. From city apartments and Mediterranean villas to alpine chalets and country estates, we source exceptional talent aligned to both lifestyle and long-term success.
Many European roles involve seasonal living, from summer villas on the Mediterranean to winter placements in alpine resorts. We specialise in sourcing candidates who are experienced in these environments and understand the pace, flexibility, and expectations required.
This is one of our genuine strengths. A candidate placed for a Cotswolds estate in summer may be needed in Verbier or Courchevel in winter. We understand that world and recruit accordingly.
From the French Riviera to the Swiss Alps, we support clients across some of Europe's most prestigious and sought-after locations.
We place across the full spectrum of private household and luxury roles throughout Europe.
Housekeepers, house managers, butlers, private chefs and estate staff placed across private residences, villas and estates throughout Europe.
Experienced professionals for family offices managing international lifestyles, multiple residences and complex operations across Europe.
Front and back of house staffing for luxury hotels, private members clubs, and fine dining venues across key European locations.
Business support, operations and senior leadership recruitment for European-based luxury brands, private offices and family businesses.
Specialist crew, chalet staff and aviation placements across Mediterranean, alpine and wider European lifestyle environments.
We combine UK-based expertise with a genuine understanding of European lifestyle and recruitment nuance. Our candidates are sourced for cultural fit as much as experience, ensuring long-term success wherever they are placed.
We do not send volume. We find the right person.
