Estate Manager & Household Staff in Zurich
Household & Staffing in Zurich
Zurich is the centre of Swiss private banking and the most discreet money in Europe. Its economy runs on private banking, insurance, commodities trading and watchmaking, and the members we look after here are typically families with Swiss banking relationships going back decades.
Household staff are placed for how your house actually runs. We define each role with you, source and reference candidates, arrange trial periods, and stay involved after placement so a gap is never left open.
Employment law here gives household staff full protection, and contracts are drawn up properly from the start. Practically, an international airport with an established general aviation presence, and discretion here is a professional standard rather than a preference.
Held locally
How this works in Zurich.
- Requests from Zurich reach a named relationship manager rather than a queue, and the same person stays with the request until it is closed.
- Every candidate is referenced and lawfully checked before an introduction is made.
- Where something cannot be arranged in Zurich on the terms you have asked for, you are told that plainly and early rather than late.
Questions, answered once
Household & Staffing in Zurich, without the theatre.
How are household staff vetted before placement in Zurich?
We define each role with you, source and reference candidates, arrange trial periods, and stay involved after placement so a gap is never left open. Every candidate is referenced and lawfully checked before an introduction is made.
How long does it take to place an estate manager?
It depends on the request and the season. Your relationship manager gives you a realistic timeframe when you ask, and says early if it is not achievable rather than late.
What employment rules apply to household staff in Switzerland?
The position differs by jurisdiction and changes. We confirm what applies in Switzerland with qualified local advisers before anything proceeds, and set it out for you in writing.
Is staff placement handled confidentially?
Discretion is the default. Nothing about the arrangement is shared beyond the people carrying it out, and nothing is disclosed to a counterparty without your instruction.
What do you need from us to begin?
Usually one conversation. Your relationship manager will tell you exactly what your particular request needs, and will not ask for more than that.
