We begin with a personal on-site meeting, allowing us to gain a clear understanding of the residence, estate or property, the family, and the day-to-day operations.
Based on the initial meeting, you will first receive a clear proposal outlining the assignment, terms, and costs in full. Upon approval, we define the profile for the position, such as an estate manager, estate couple, property manager, or household staff member.
The search is focused exclusively on carefully selected candidates from our own network. We assess not only experience and skills, but also personality, reliability, and the extent to which a candidate fits the culture and style of the family.
Potential candidates are first interviewed online by Paul Braun. If the initial impression is positive, a personal interview follows. Only candidates who truly fit the role and the family are presented to the client.
At the time of introduction, the client is provided with a complete candidate dossier, comprising:
Additional checks, such as a Certificate of Good Conduct (VOG), Credit Registration Office (BKR) check, or further security screening, can be arranged upon request.
Following a positive first meeting, a second interview may take place with additional family members or family advisors. On-site shadowing is recommended to ensure a realistic understanding of the working relationship. This phase is part of the total lead time of one to four months.
Paul Braun personally guides the entire process, from the initial consultation through to final placement. This guidance is included as part of the engagement. Following appointment, he remains available as a trusted advisor to both parties.
Every recruitment assignment is fully tailored. After a personal on-site meeting, Braun Family Recruitment presents a clear, no-obligation proposal outlining the commission, terms, and conditions in full — ensuring complete transparency from the start and a structured recruitment process you can rely on.
References from previous clients are available upon request. Discretion and confidentiality for both families and candidates are strictly maintained throughout the entire recruitment process, until the moment the client decides to proceed with one or more candidates.
