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.
