FOR CLIENTS
Tell us who your ideal candidate is. We'll go and find them.
StaffCover provides a highly personal headhunting service for luxury hospitality, private members' clubs and UHNW private households.
OUR SEARCH APPROACH
Every search begins by understanding exactly who you need — not simply the job title.
We want to understand your business, club or household, your standards, culture, expectations, challenges and the personality that will complement the people already around you.
Then we build a clear picture of your ideal candidate. And we go out and find them.
WE HEADHUNT — WE DON'T SIMPLY WAIT FOR APPLICATIONS
The ideal person for your role may not be looking for a new job.
They may already be successfully employed, valued by their current employer and completely unaware of your opportunity. That doesn't mean they aren't the right person.
Drawing on an extensive professional network built through years of relationships, we search the market, identify individuals whose experience and character align with your brief and approach them personally.
We don't limit the search to people who happen to be available. We look for the person you actually want.
FEWER CVs. BETTER INTRODUCTIONS.
Our job isn't to fill your inbox with candidates.
It's to find the people genuinely worth meeting.
We consider career history, progression, stability, standards, leadership, commercial experience and professional achievements — alongside personality, motivation and cultural fit.
Someone can look perfect on paper and still be completely wrong for your environment. That is why every introduction is considered personally.
You tell us who you need. We find the closest possible match.
OUR SPECIALISMS
Three sectors. One highly personal approach.
PRIVATE MEMBERS' CLUBS
Private members' clubs require a particular understanding of service.
Discretion, consistency, tradition and personality can be every bit as important as technical experience.
We understand that the right individual must not only perform the role exceptionally well, but also understand and complement the culture of the club.
LUXURY HOSPITALITY
Exceptional hospitality requires exceptional people.
We recruit senior operational leaders, management professionals, front-of-house talent and culinary specialists for luxury restaurants, hotels and hospitality groups.
We look beyond the job title to understand the standards someone has worked within, the teams they have led, their commercial understanding and the kind of environment in which they perform at their best.
UHNW PRIVATE HOUSEHOLDS
Private household recruitment requires absolute discretion.
Professional experience is important, but so are trust, temperament, boundaries, communication and personal compatibility.
We approach each private assignment confidentially and individually, with careful consideration given to both professional capability and character.
A FLEXIBLE APPROACH TO FEES
A flexible approach to fees.
Every search is different, so our fee structure can be tailored to the nature and scale of the assignment.
All fees and terms are agreed clearly at the outset.
CONTINGENCY SEARCH
A one-off placement fee following a successful appointment. Every permanent placement includes a replacement guarantee in accordance with our agreed terms.
RETAINED SEARCH & NEW OPENINGS
For senior appointments, confidential searches, new openings or projects requiring a significant number of appointments, we can create a tailored retainer structure around the individual assignment.
This provides a flexible and cost-effective approach to larger recruitment projects and allows the recruitment budget to be planned effectively throughout the process.
