Family Office & Corporate Staffing
Elite Staffing for Exceptional Structures
At Squad Placements, we specialize in building discreet, high-functioning teams for family offices, private companies, and ultra-high-net-worth households. Whether you’re running a single-family office, overseeing a boutique investment firm, or managing the legacy of generational wealth, we help you find the right people — and build the right structure — to support your goals.
We understand that hiring for UHNW environments goes far beyond CVs. Trust, discretion, emotional intelligence, and cultural fit are just as important as experience and qualifications. Our boutique approach combines deep industry insight with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring a tailored match for every client.
Family Office Staffing
Running a family office requires a tightly knit team of professionals who can operate with discretion, initiative, and absolute trustworthiness. Whether you’re launching a new office or expanding your existing structure, Squad can help you source, vet, and place exceptional individuals across core functions.
We regularly recruit for roles such as:
- Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Chief Financial Officer (CFO) and Chief Operations Officer (COO)
- Chief of Staff
- Executive Assistant & Personal Assistant
- General Council, Finance, Legal, and Compliance Officers
- Property and Estate Managers
- Tax Advisors, Accountants and Risk Managers
- Philanthropy or Foundation Directors
Each candidate is handpicked based on your specific needs — whether you require someone with financial expertise, operational fluency, or personal service finesse.
Corporate Staffing
For high-powered corporate entities — from private equity offices to luxury startups — the right team can define your trajectory. We support founders, executives, and senior leadership by providing top-tier candidates for operational and strategic roles.
Often, these companies are closely linked to the family offices or private clients we already work with — whether owned by the family, aligned with their ventures, or operating under shared leadership. Extending the relationship with a staffing partner who already understands your values, rhythm, and standards isn’t just efficient — it’s a strategic advantage.
We focus on key hires who can operate across multiple functions, such as:
- C-suite executives (CEO, CFO, COO)
- Directors and Senior Managers (Operations, Finance, Marketing, HR)
- Marketing, Communications and PR leads
- Business Development and Partnerships Managers
- Executive Assistants and Chiefs of Staff
- Office and Operations Coordinators
Our candidates are used to fast-paced, high-standard environments where initiative and discretion are non-negotiable.
Our process
Our recruitment process is intentionally rigorous — and entirely bespoke. We don’t flood you with options; we curate shortlists with precision, based on a deep understanding of your culture, structure, and objectives.
Typically, we follow the structure below:
Initial Consultation – We begin with a conversation to understand your current structure and identify your ideal candidate profile. If necessary or when several hires are needed, we present different options on how to cover all departments efficiently.
Search & Selection – We activate our network and resources to identify candidates who align with your needs, values, and work style.
Screening & Interviews – All candidates are interviewed by us before you ever see their CV. We assess communication, attitude, and discretion — not just experience.
Shortlist – You receive a curated shortlist containing only the best, most suited candidates for your vacancy.
Placement & Follow-Up – Once placed, we stay in touch with both client and candidate to ensure smooth integration.
