International as a Freelance Recruiter

The Elite Freelance Recruiter Partner Program

We are looking for experienced recruiters who want to build their own business backed by one of the world’s leading luxury staffing brands.

Morgan & Mallet’s (M&M) Freelance Recruiter Partner Program gives ambitious professionals the tools to work independently while drawing on the credibility, systems, and global reach of an agency trusted by royal households, family offices, and UHNW clients worldwide.

The program covers three sectors

Household staff in the kitchen

Household staff recruitment

Yacht crew working

Yacht crew

Hospitality staff working in a restaurant

Hospitality

This is how you move beyond salary caps and traditional agency limits to build real long-term income in premium recruitment.

Unlimited Earning Potential
In High-Value Markets

Unlike traditional recruitment roles where commissions are capped or diluted, our freelance recruiters work on a model where pay is tied entirely to results. 

Luxury household staff searches, yacht crew assignments, and senior hospitality roles all generate strong fees.

When you close deals in premium sectors

Your commissions reflect it

There is no ceiling

No territorial restrictions

No artificial income limits

Your success drives your revenue directly

Who We Are
Looking For

Our program is selective. We look for professionals who have

Strong sales and negotiation skills

Confidence in winning clients

A relationship-first mindset

High professional standards

Discretion

Experience in luxury, hospitality, yachting, or private service is highly valued. We are not looking for passive recruiters. We are looking for business builders.

Who Built This
and Why It Works

Morgan & Mallet was founded in Paris in 2011 by two former household workers who knew this world from the inside. Morgan had worked as a butler for clients including Italian fashion designer Valentino. Laurine had spent years as a nanny for UHNW families in London.

Both understood what these households needed and how poorly most agencies served them.

They launched with one office and a clear purpose: global families deserved a global agency. Over the next decade, that grew into a network spanning London, Paris, Geneva, Dubai, New York, Los Angeles, Miami, and Palm Beach, now handling over 1,200 searches a year.

That kind of growth attracts people who stay. Gilles Kuhn has been a freelance recruiter with M&M since the agency’s earliest days, over a decade ago. A former private banker, he brought the same discretion and careful judgment to luxury staffing.

One memory sums up why he stayed. He once found himself on the yacht of a multi-time F1 world champion in Monaco, over coffee, discussing the search for a caretaker couple for his second home. The work and the commissions kept growing.

Who Built This
and Why It Works

New wealth is being created at pace

The top 5% of earners in the United States has expanded significantly over the past decade. A strong tech economy has created overnight wealth on a scale that did not exist a generation ago.

Founders, executives, and fund managers who became wealthy quickly now need households run to a standard they have never had to organize before.

1
Economic uncertainty is pushing investment into property

Tariffs, geopolitical risk, and financial uncertainty push wealthy individuals to protect their money through property.
More property means more staff. More staff means more searches.
Instability in financial markets is, counterintuitively, good for this sector.

2
Clients are buying abroad to spread risk

Families are buying homes in Monaco, London, Dubai, and New York not just for lifestyle but to spread risk. That creates staffing demand across multiple countries.
It also creates a strong need for an agency that can cover all of them through a single relationship.

3
This is a young, fragmented industry with no dominant global player

London has plenty of agencies, but most focus on the UK. The US has strong agencies, but most stay domestic. M&M is one of the only agencies operating as a genuine global solution.
That gap is large, and the opportunity for recruiters who work within it is real.

4
A shrinking candidate pool is pushing wages and fees up

Fewer people are entering domestic service than before. The pool of trained, experienced candidates is getting smaller. That makes some searches harder, but it also pushes wages up.
Higher wages mean higher fees. Higher fees mean bigger commissions for the recruiter who closes the search.

5
Staff move more often now, creating repeat business

Job switching is more common than it was a generation ago. A butler who spent 15 years with one family is rarer now.
Clients need to rehire more often, which means more recurring business for recruiters with strong client relationships.

Why Become a Freelance
Recruiter with M&M?

Build Your Own Recruitment Business
With Global Brand Support

Starting an independent recruitment business alone carries real risk. Building credibility, winning luxury clients, and finding qualified candidates takes years. With M&M, you draw on:

  • An internationally established luxury recruitment brand.
  • Existing global client networks.
  • A growing digital footprint, including coverage in Forbes and other leading publications, that brings inbound leads.

 

Over a decade of authority in UHNW staffing.

You operate as an independent recruitment partner, backed by a brand trusted by private estates, family offices, yacht owners, luxury hotels, and royal households. That shortens the time to your first mandate significantly.

Access to Premium Industries

Most freelance recruiters compete in oversaturated markets. Our partners work in niche, high-value sectors.

Butlers, estate managers, private chefs, nannies, governesses, chauffeurs, domestic couples, property managers.

Yacht crew captains, chief stewards, engineers, deckhands, private yacht chefs, rotational crew.

 General managers, executive chefs, directors of operations, luxury resort management, Michelin-star restaurant leadership, retail directors.

These markets offer high fees, long-term client relationships, repeat business, and strong referral networks.

Full Autonomy and Remote Flexibility

Our program is built for professionals who value independence. You control:

  • Your schedule.
  • Your sourcing strategy.
  • Your client approach.
  • Your geographic focus.

Whether you are based in the US, UK, Middle East, Asia, Europe, or anywhere else, you can build and run your recruitment desk remotely.

Structured Systems,
Training, and Operational Support

While you operate independently, you are not on your own. M&M gives you clear recruitment processes, guidance on vetting candidates, interview approaches, compliance advice, brand materials, and direct input from senior leadership.

We have built these systems through years of working with UHNW households, yacht crew, and luxury hospitality clients. Our partners get proven methods rather than starting from scratch.

New Revenue Streams You
Can Only Access Through M&M

M&M is the only luxury staffing agency currently offering international payroll services across multiple countries. We can handle payroll in Monaco, the UK, the UAE, and an expanding number of US states, with new states added each month.

Clients want this because it cuts their admin load and reduces their legal exposure. When the agency is the direct employer, employment disputes fall to the agency rather than the family. For high-profile clients, that matters.

For you as a recruiter, these services mean additional commissions on top of your placement fees. Every new service M&M launches is another conversation you can open with a client, and another way to earn.

Long-Term Career Scalability

This is not a short-term freelance contract. Successful partners build specialist areas, develop long-term client relationships, and work with clients in multiple countries.

Over time, that creates steady, predictable income. Within M&M’s network, you build your name and reputation faster than you could alone.

Why Morgan &
Mallet Is Different

Many freelance recruitment platforms offer freedom but no real structure. Many agencies offer structure but limit income and autonomy. M&M brings together a trusted brand, international client access, high-fee sectors, the freedom to run your own desk, and over a decade of recruitment experience.

We work in a part of the market that keeps growing. The fact that this industry has no single global leader, combined with clients buying property in more countries than ever before, means the demand for a truly global agency keeps rising.

M&M is built to meet that demand. Most agencies are not.

Build Your Future in
Luxury Recruitment

Recruitment is one of the few industries where your income is tied directly to your performance and relationships. Luxury recruitment multiplies that potential.

If you are ready to increase your earning potential, work independently with a global brand, access premium clients and candidates, and build long-term financial growth, Morgan & Mallet International invites you to join our Freelance Recruiter Partner Program.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Morgan & Mallet Freelance Recruiter Partner Program?

The Morgan & Mallet (M&M) Freelance Recruiter Partner Program is a structured opportunity for independent recruiters to build their own recruitment business within an internationally recognized luxury staffing brand.


Partners work independently while benefiting from brand credibility, clear recruitment processes, access to premium sectors, hands-on guidance, and strong commission structures.

There is no earning cap. Income depends entirely on performance, client acquisition, and successful searches.

Because M&M works in premium sectors, fees are often significantly higher than in standard recruitment markets. Your income scales with your results.

Previous recruitment experience is strongly preferred. A background in private estates, yacht crew, 5-star hotels, Michelin-star restaurants, luxury retail, or family offices is highly valued but not required.

What matters most is your ability to win and manage clients, assess and qualify candidates, close searches professionally, and work with discretion and integrity.

Yes. The program is fully flexible and remote. You can operate from anywhere in the world. You manage your schedule, your pipeline, and your geographic focus.

Traditional agencies often offer fixed salaries, limited commissions, restricted autonomy, and defined territories.

M&M’s freelance recruiter model offers no earning cap, full ownership of your desk, freedom to specialize, access to luxury clients, and the credibility of an established brand behind you. You work as an independent partner rather than an employee.

Yes. While you operate independently, M&M gives you clear recruitment processes, practical guidance on candidate assessment, advice on working with high-profile clients, and direct support from senior leadership.

You get real structure without giving up your independence.

Partners can specialize in household staff, yacht crew, or hospitality recruitment, or work across all three. The range covers roles from butlers and estate managers through to Michelin-level chefs, resort general managers, and rotational yacht crew.

Details on the partnership structure, how commissions work, and terms are covered during the qualification process. Everything is explained clearly before any formal agreement begins.

The ideal M&M recruitment partner is self-driven, confident in sales and negotiation, experienced in recruitment or luxury sectors, focused on long-term relationships, and comfortable working with UHNW clients.

Yes. Recruiters can focus on US luxury markets, UK private estates, UAE and Middle East hospitality, European UHNW households, global yacht crew, or any combination.

Your geographic focus is built around your network and experience.

Submit your profile and professional background through our application form. Selected candidates will be contacted for a qualification discussion to assess fit, experience, and long-term potential.

We seek quality over volume.
