For clients
Hire people you can rely on, found by people who understand the role.
A Chief of Staff for a family office, an Executive Assistant in London, a Private PA in Monaco, a Travelling PA in Dubai or a Palace Manager in Abu Dhabi: we find candidates whose expertise, personality and working style fit. Then we guarantee it.
What we recruit
Seven specialisms, each with its own standards.
Business Assistants
Behind every effective executive is an organised, intuitive assistant. Whether you need a Team Assistant, a PA or a C-suite Executive Assistant, we find people whose expertise, personality and working style fit the principal they will support.
Roles & approach
Private Household
No one works closer to you than the people in your home. Discretion, reliability and relevant experience are non-negotiable, and so is personality fit. We vet every household candidate thoroughly before you ever meet them.
Roles & approach
Live-in / Live-out Childcare
The people who care for and teach your children are the most important hires a household makes. We place Governesses, Governors, Nannies and Private Tutors, live-in and live-out, rota and travelling, and we vet each one with the care you would expect: qualifications, enhanced background checks, references and an honest read of character.
Roles & approach
Operations & Office Support
As a business grows, the right support team lets everyone else get on with their jobs. We place Receptionists, Administrators, Office Managers and Heads of Operations who fit your culture as well as your brief.
Roles & approach
Human Resources
A robust HR function is critical to any growing business, and candidates increasingly judge employers by it. We find HR Assistants, Managers and Heads of People who nurture the environment your team deserves.
Roles & approach
Client Services & Events
The people who look after your clients and your events become your most valuable assets. We find Events, Project and Account professionals who balance skill with seamless integration into your culture.
Roles & approach
Virtual Assistants
A Virtual Assistant is a modern answer to a familiar problem: you need skilled support without the infrastructure of a permanent, in-house hire. Our VAs have years of PA, EA and office management experience behind them.
Roles & approachWhy Marcilly
Serious about the hires that matter.
Support roles are the hires that touch everything: the diary, the inbox, the home, the family. Getting them wrong is costly. We built Marcilly to get them right.
- 01
We have done the job
Every member of our team has worked in a private household or as an Executive Assistant before moving into recruitment. We know what a brief really means, and what a candidate will actually face.
- 02
Boutique by design
A limited number of briefs at any one time. You deal with a consultant who knows your business, not a team of researchers.
- 03
Vetting you can rely on
Every candidate is interviewed by us, tested where relevant and referenced at final stage. Nobody reaches you on the strength of a CV alone.
- 04
Nine-month guarantee
One of the longest in the market. We only make a placement we believe will last, and we stay close through probation to make sure it does.
- 05
International by experience
London, the Riviera and the Gulf are markets we have worked in, not just placed in. Relocations, languages and cultural fit are everyday considerations.
- 06
Discretion as standard
Confidential searches, unnamed clients and sensitive household briefs are handled with the care they need.
Who we work with
Family offices, financial services, private households, property, luxury, technology and professional services.
