  • Recruiting in Paris, Monaco, Brussels and Geneva
    May 15 2026

    Co-founder Laurine Mallet examines how recruitment strategies differ across four major European markets. From Paris's formal credentials and agency relationships to Monaco's exclusive networks, Brussels's international institutions, and Geneva's Swiss precision, she reveals the cultural and legal nuances that shape household staffing in each location.

    • Learn how each city operates at different paces with unique priorities, from Paris's prestigious but bureaucratic approach to Monaco's tight networks.

    • Understand the complex legal frameworks, including France's employee-protective laws, Belgium's dual legal systems, and Switzerland's cantonal variations.

    • Discover salary expectations across regions and why French employer contributions can be double the gross salary.


    Laurine discusses how language requirements vary by location, why domestic couples dominate French placements, and how geographic flexibility affects compensation.


    She explains the trend from traditional specialist roles toward housekeepers and personal assistants, while sharing insights on taxation impacts and live-in versus live-out preferences across different markets.

  • Vetting in the Age of AI: What Principals Need to Know Before They Hire
    May 1 2026

    Eric leads people and operations at Morgan & Mallet International's New York office.

    Before joining M&M, he recruited software engineering interns at Google.

    In this episode, he sits down with Ben W to explain how AI is actually being used inside M&M's recruitment process, and where humans will always stay in charge.

    In this episode:

    • Why AI is a tool, not a decision-maker, and why the most important part of matching a candidate to a UHNW household will always require a human recruiter who can read the room.
    • How M&M is using AI to help candidates build professional resumes directly through the agency's website, and what that means for the quality of applications clients receive.
    • What principals should be asking their agency about AI right now.

    Eric also covers how AI is being used to generate legally compliant reference check questions tailored to each job description, why candidates can lie on a resume in ways that AI will never catch, and what the next two to three years of AI in luxury recruitment actually looks like.
