Expert Household Staff Recruiter
Gilles Kuhn, a senior recruiter at Morgan & Mallet (M&M), brings a decade of experience in luxury household staffing, combining the discretion of private banking with a genuine commitment to finding the perfect match for UHNW clients worldwide.
Building Confidence From First Contact
The high standards M&M’s clients require complete discretion and absolute confidentiality.
Gilles believes a highly professional and transparent approach is essential, allowing prospective clients to immediately sense, from the very first contact, that he is attentive to their needs and fully committed to supporting them in their search for household staff.
Listening creates better results faster than persuasion ever could.
More Than Just Placement
Being a recruiter at M&M means having the opportunity to work with HNW and UHNW clients every day and advise and assist them in their search for future employees.
It’s a daily commitment with the goal of satisfaction at the end of a recruitment mission.
When Three People Smile
The single most rewarding part of placing a candidate in a UHNWI home is what Gilles calls the satisfaction shared between himself, the candidate, and the client.
When all three parties feel the placement is right, that’s when you know the work has paid off.
From Banking to Household Staffing
- Gilles has 10 years of experience in the luxury staffing and domestic placement industry.
- He was previously a banker in private commercial and investment banks, where discretion, listening and advice are combined.
- This background prepared him specifically for recruiting for UHNWIs, where trust and confidentiality are paramount.
- Over the past decade, Gilles has made a few hundred placements throughout his career.
- Each one has added to his understanding of what makes a successful match in the UHNW world.
Coffee on an F1’s Champion's Yacht
One of Gilles’ best memories was finding himself on the yacht of a multi-time world champion F1 driver over a cup of coffee to discuss the search for his future caretaker couple for his second home.
A classic search, but a great moment spent in private with this motorsport legend.
It’s these unique situations that remind him why this work is so rewarding.
Tennis, Wine, and Italian Poetry
Outside of work, Gilles enjoys playing tennis and jogging, and takes great pleasure in gardening, cooking, savoring fine wines, and reading French and Italian poetry.
In his opinion, patience and an analytical mind are qualities that make him better at his job.
These qualities help him stay calm under pressure and carefully assess each candidate’s fit for the role.
