The Marcilly difference
A CV is only the beginning of the story. We place people, not paper.
Every member of our team has worked in a private household or as an Executive Assistant before moving into recruitment. Marcilly is deliberately boutique: a limited number of briefs at a time, every client met and every candidate interviewed by us, and a nine-month guarantee on each permanent placement.
