Eden Private Staff | London | Hammersmith
Eden Private Staff is a leading specialist agency in private household, family office and executive support recruitment. We partner with discerning clients in the UK and internationally who value trust, discretion and long-term relationships.
As we continue to grow, we are seeking a Recruitment Consultant with exceptional emotional intelligence — someone who thrives in a relationship-led environment and takes pride in matching outstanding people with private clients where fit truly matters.
About Eden Private Staff
With over 25 years’ experience, Eden places nannies, maternity nurses, housekeepers, PAs, EAs and senior private staff into private households and family offices worldwide. Our culture is collaborative, people-first and values-led, with a strong emphasis on integrity, professionalism and genuine care for both clients and candidates.
The Role
This is a hands-on, relationship-driven recruitment role where emotional intelligence is central to success. You will:
* Own and manage desk covering both permanent and temporary placements within the private household and family office space
* Build deep, trust-based relationships with clients and candidates
* Take detailed, nuanced job briefs, understanding not just requirements but household dynamics and unspoken expectations
* Conduct empathetic, structured interviews that explore values, motivations and interpersonal style as well as experience
* Guide both clients and candidates through the full recruitment journey with clarity, sensitivity and professionalism
* Work closely with a small, supportive team, sharing insight and contributing positively to Eden’s culture
What We Offer
* A people-first environment where emotional intelligence is valued as a core professional skill, not a “soft” extra
* Ongoing development in relationship management, interviewing and negotiation
* A respected, established brand with strong inbound demand — no high-volume cold calling culture
* Competitive base salary and uncapped commission in a niche, high-trust market
* The opportunity to build a long-term career in a specialist sector where reputation and relationships matter
About You
You may come from recruitment or a highly relationship-driven background such as private service, luxury hospitality, client services or UHNW environments. You are likely to be:
* Naturally empathetic, perceptive and emotionally intelligent
* Calm, reassuring and resilient, even in high-pressure or sensitive situations
* A clear, thoughtful communicator, both written and verbal
* Discreet, trustworthy and comfortable handling confidential information
* Genuinely interested in people, their stories and what makes professional and personal relationships work
* Organised with strong time management skills
* Target driven and able to demonstrate clear examples of where you have surpassed expectations using your own initiative
* Self-motivated
* Solutions oriented
* Willingness to go the extra mile
