Laurine Mallet co-founded Morgan & Mallet International and was a nanny herself before that, so she has sat on both sides of the hiring table. In this episode she answers real questions from Reddit, from parents who feel overwhelmed by fees, models, and horror stories. It is a clear look at how a good nanny agency actually works.

• A single search can bring 80 to 180 applicants, which a busy family rarely has time to screen properly.
• A good agency charges the family a registration fee plus a placement fee based on the gross annual salary. The nanny pays nothing.
• Employer of record means the agency is the legal employer, runs payroll and admin, and invoices you monthly with a management fee.
• Warning signs include never meeting the candidate, checking only one reference, and pushing a CV without checking the fit first.
• Match on more than availability: location, lifestyle, long term plans, and even pet allergies, or the placement will not last.

Nikki Beauchamp is a senior global real estate advisor who was born and raised in New York and has worked the city's high-end market for more than twenty years.

In this episode she breaks down how New York luxury property really works, from co-ops and condos to townhouses.

She also explains why the right household manager can shape which home a family ends up buying.

Nikki explains why buying a co-op means buying shares in a corporation rather than real estate, and why board approval can feel more invasive than merging two companies.

She shares how she spends the first part of any search understanding how a client wants to live, and how a home's layout reveals whether it was built to be run with staff.

She also talks about building the right team of advisors, and why the people you choose to work with matter more than anything.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• In New York you buy into a building, not just an apartment. A co-op means buying shares and a proprietary lease with heavy financial disclosure, while a condo is real property you own outright.
• Co-op boards can say no without giving a reason, so wealth alone does not guarantee approval. Your board package is your prospectus, and it must leave no unanswered questions.
• Board packages run to financial statements, reference letters, and full backup for every asset and liability. One recent package ran to about 1,500 single-sided pages.
• Time spent upfront understanding how a buyer wants to live is the most valuable part of the search, and it makes finding the right home far more efficient.
• House managers often shape property decisions, because they can describe the daily flow and guest experience a principal may not think to mention. Bring your real estate and staffing advisors in early.

If you are setting up a home and need someone to run it, read our guide to hiring a house manager. To see the roles and pay behind a full household team, look at the best household staff jobs in the US for 2026 and the Household Staff Industry Report.

Dave is a senior recruiter in the Morgan & Mallet Dubai office, and he grew up in the Philippines.

In this episode he explains why so many Filipino candidates see a high salary and assume it must be a scam.

He also shares how to spot a fake job offer and how to check that a recruiter is real before you trust them.

Dave talks about his move from teaching in the Philippines to recruiting in Dubai, and why fair pay makes his job easier.

He explains why candidates who have worked in other parts of Asia for low wages often panic when they see UAE salaries.

He shares real stories of friends who paid a fee and never got a job, and he gives clear advice for anyone who is nervous about applying to a great offer.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• A real recruitment agency never charges a candidate a fee. The client, not the worker, pays for the service.
• Do not click a link if you are unsure. Search the company name on Google, read the reviews, and check the LinkedIn page instead.
• A legitimate company name should show up when they call you, and no one should pressure you to decide fast or send money.
• Many Filipino workers in places like Hong Kong and Singapore earned around 2,000 dirhams for jobs that combine housekeeper, nanny, cook, and caregiver duties, so a 5,000 to 10,000 dirham offer can look fake.
• Fair pay leads to longer stays, and a member of staff who stays long term starts to anticipate the family's needs, which is where the real value begins.

If you are a candidate weighing up an offer, read our guide on how to work for a wealthy family, celebrity, or VIP. To see what fair pay looks like by role, take a look at the best household staff jobs for 2026 and the Household Staff Industry Report.

Morgan & Mallet co-founder Morgan Richez joins Ben W to talk about the new generation of household staff.

He explains what younger candidates want, why the money is no longer the whole story, and how employers can attract and keep them. It is a candid look at how private service is changing.

Morgan explains why younger candidates move from luxury hospitality into private homes, and why comfort, communication, and rest now rank above pay.

He talks through the shortage of young domestic couples, and the practical fixes when a couple cannot be found.

He also shares how to handle tension between older and younger staff, and what builds a team that lasts.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Younger candidates move into private service from luxury hospitality for the environment, the travel, and better pay than a five-star hotel.
• The employer's behavior now matters as much as the money. New candidates ask about the family, the relationship, and how staff are treated.
• Comfort, good accommodation, clear organization, and communication now come before salary for many younger staff.
• Young domestic couples are in short supply, especially between Monaco and Saint-Tropez and in the Hamptons, so employers may need to split roles or flex on experience.
• To build a lasting team, hire for experience and longevity, check references, and treat a pattern of job-hopping as a red flag.

Morgan & Mallet recruiter Jonathan D. Vanderbilt joins Ben W from the New York office to open up the US market. He walks through how hiring works inside New York homes, why it moves fast, and what sets it apart from Europe. It is a candid guide for principals and candidates alike.

Jonathan explains why New York moves fast, with in-person interviews and several rounds of screening before the principal. He covers how US employment law shapes hiring, why families lean toward live-out staff, and why references and background checks come first. He also shares the rise of the all-round house manager, and honest advice for both clients and candidates.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• New York moves fast, with in-person interviews and several screening steps, from family office to estate manager to house manager before the principal.
• Morgan & Mallet is full service, coordinating every interview and handling the process so clients and candidates do not deal directly at first.
• US employment law is strict, especially on discrimination, so agencies must be careful what they ask and how they record it.
• New York families often prefer live-out staff who know the city, partly because a townhouse has far less space than a Beverly Hills mansion.
• References and background checks come first. IDs, criminal records, and driving are all checked before anyone enters a home, and only candidates with real private household experience make the cut.

If you are hiring for a home out east, see our Hamptons page. For the all-round role Jonathan describes, read about the house manager. And to understand live-in and live-out rules in the US, start with our plain-English guide to live-in household staff.

Laurine reveals how Switzerland's currency, geography, and cultural preferences create distinct hiring challenges and opportunities that set it apart from neighboring European countries.

Laurine explains how Switzerland's high cost of living is offset by significantly higher salaries and lower tax burdens for household staff, making it an attractive destination for candidates from neighboring countries.

She discusses the preference for live-in positions among Swiss families and why discretion ranks as the most requested character trait.

The conversation covers legal frameworks, language requirements spanning French, German, and Italian, and the complexity of different cantonal regulations.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• Switzerland offers the highest household staff salaries in Europe with significantly lower tax burdens compared to neighboring countries, making it highly attractive to candidates.

• Swiss families predominantly request live-in positions and prioritize discretion above all other character traits, reflecting cultural preferences.

• Geneva serves as the main hub for Swiss household staffing due to its international business community, banks, and airport connections.

• Work permits are essential before applying for Swiss positions, unlike some EU countries where documentation can be processed after hiring. • Different cantons have varying tax rules and applications, requiring specialized legal advice for proper salary calculations and compliance.

Morgan & Mallet co-founder Laurine Mallet joins Ben W to break down the St Tropez summer staffing season.

She covers when to hire, which roles are in demand, and what top seasonal staff really earn.

Whether you are hiring a villa team or working the season yourself, this is the inside track.

• Know when the St Tropez season runs and when to start hiring.
• Understand which roles are in demand and what they pay in peak months.
• Learn the traits and conditions that make a seasonal placement succeed.

Laurine explains why the season runs from late April to the end of September, and why cook chefs top the request list.

She shares a client who hosted up to 70 guests a night, the full team it took, and the salaries that come with that pressure.

She also covers how far ahead to book, the value of experience, and why rest is what keeps seasonal service sharp.

• The St Tropez household season runs from the end of April to the end of September, with yacht crew requests on top.
• Cook chefs are the most requested role, and a chef feeding big numbers needs a full team, from a commis to butlers and waiters.
• Book early. The end of March to early April is ideal, because there is a real recruitment process behind every placement.
• A private chef in high season can earn roughly 6,000 to 8,000 euros a month, depending on guest numbers and days worked.
• Seasonal staff need speed, stamina, and flexibility, and they need real rest, because a rested candidate delivers better service.

Morgan & Mallet co-founder Morgan Richez sits down with Ben W to unpack French labor law for private households. They cover the clauses, the trial periods, the payroll service, and the mistakes that cost families later. If you are hiring staff for a home in France, this is the plain-English rundown you need.

• Vague hours are the biggest cause of disputes, so spell out duties, hours, notice, and the trial period in writing.
• Keep a daily record of hours on both sides, family and staff, using an app or a simple log.
• Use a permanent CDI contract with the right trial period from day one. A CDD is only legal for genuinely temporary or seasonal work.
• A payroll service can act as the legal employer, which cuts the family's tax and admin load in France and keeps the owner discreet.
• Small clauses matter. Add an NDA to every contract, set clear live-in accommodation rules, and for a domestic couple agree what happens to one partner if the other leaves

If you are hiring live-in staff, our plain-English guide to live-in rules, contracts, and taxes is the place to start. To structure hours and standby time without arguments later, read our guide to on-call and standby pay. And if you are hiring two people together, see our domestic couple page.

Morgan Richez, co-founder of Morgan & Mallet, joins Ben W to talk about staff accommodation and how to get it right. After 12 years of reviewing private household contracts, Morgan knows where families and live-in staff trip up, from the contract to the question of guests.

What you will gain from this episode: a clear view of what the law really allows when you house live-in staff. You will know what to write in the accommodation article of the contract, and what to leave as a good-faith understanding. You will also pick up practical ways to avoid conflict and keep good staff for longer.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The accommodation is an article inside the employment contract, not a separate rental agreement, so the live-in staff member never pays rent.
• French law treats the accommodation as private space, so a clause banning guests will not hold up in court. Treat it as a strong wish backed by good faith.
• A proper check-in and check-out of the accommodation protects both the family and the staff.
• For a domestic couple, link the two contracts so that if one role ends, the family can review both together.
• Organization prevents most problems. Prepare in advance, buy products in twos, and run tests before the busy season.

USEFUL RESOURCES If you are thinking about hiring a live-in couple, start with our domestic couple hiring guide. For a plain-English look at the rules, contracts, and taxes behind live-in roles, read our guide to live-in household staff. For the bigger pay picture, see how domestic couple salaries have doubled since 2015.

Morgan shares insights from his three and a half years living in Dubai and running M&M's regional office during this challenging period.

Morgan explains how M&M adapted when expat clients fled Dubai while local families continued hiring.

He discusses the travel restrictions that made it nearly impossible to move European and American candidates to the region, forcing the agency to temporarily close their Dubai office and allow remote work.

Key take aways:

• Household staffing demand from wealthy local families remains stable even during regional conflicts, while expat clients typically pause hiring and relocate temporarily.

• European and American household staff now command higher salaries in Middle Eastern markets due to perceived risk and reduced candidate supply.

• International staffing agencies benefit from geographic diversification, allowing them to shift focus between markets when regional disruptions occur.

• Dubai serves as the central hub for Middle Eastern household staffing because most regional business owners maintain offices there regardless of their home country.

• Chef positions experienced unexpected growth in demand during the Iran conflict, while butler and housekeeper requests remained steady.

In this episode, he sits down with Ben W to explain how AI is actually being used inside M&M's recruitment process, and where humans will always stay in charge.

In this episode:

• Why AI is a tool, not a decision-maker, and why the most important part of matching a candidate to a UHNW household will always require a human recruiter who can read the room.
• How M&M is using AI to help candidates build professional resumes directly through the agency's website, and what that means for the quality of applications clients receive.
• What principals should be asking their agency about AI right now.

Eric also covers how AI is being used to generate legally compliant reference check questions tailored to each job description, why candidates can lie on a resume in ways that AI will never catch, and what the next two to three years of AI in luxury recruitment actually looks like.

Eric covers why location and longevity are the two things that get a resume filtered out fastest, how M&M is building an AI-assisted resume tool directly into its website with two routes both designed to make sure what reaches the recruiter is professional and complete, and why being honest on your resume is more important than ever when AI is involved. He also explains how M&M protects candidate data, what questions candidates should ask an agency before sharing their profile, and how to demonstrate the ability to think ahead, the quality that separates good household staff from exceptional household staff, in a first interview.
