Engineering Crew

Professional, responsive and refreshingly easy to deal with. The candidate we hired for our Chief of Staff role has been outstanding.

They understand that the right personality is just as important as experience on board vessels. The candidate we appointed has been a great fit with the crew and we have signed an ongoing contract with them for all future crew.

We have used 19 London for both of my business and private hires in my household, and the standard has been consistently high. We hired a chef, a nanny and a PA through them, and we now have a brilliant support team.

The Executive Assistant candidates sent by 19 London were noticeably stronger than those we had seen elsewhere from other agencies. They clearly understood the brief and that was apparent from every communication I had with them from the terms, the job brief and the shortlisted candidates.

We needed to move quickly and the team delivered a very strong shortlist within days for our Chef. The whole process was efficient and straightforward.

We needed someone exceptional (for a Director of a Family Office role) and had very little time to find them. 19 London delivered to an exceptional standard.

The team handled everything with absolute discretion. The whole process felt considered rather than transactional. Really a brilliant agency.

19 London understood the brief for our Bosun and Chief Stew requirements immediately and only sent us candidates who genuinely fitted what we were looking for. It saved us a huge amount of time.

They have an unusually good understanding of private households and the importance of getting the fit right. Corne had worked in private service herself and this definitely helped our search for a Chauffeur and Estate Manager. We wouldn’t hesitate to use them again.

19 London understood exactly the calibre of person we needed. The shortlist of Executive Assistants was excellent and the process incredibly straightforward. Kirstin was a delight to work with.

We had struggled with this hire before approaching 19 London. Within a short period they introduced the person we ultimately appointed and managed the process so well. Their team are beyond excellent.

A genuinely excellent experience. Corne was lovely to work with. They understood both the professional requirements and, just as importantly, the personality fit for not just Housekeeper recruitment but also all household staffing levels. I trust them implicitly to get it right from day 1 and find us vetted and trustworthy staff.

19 London have become our first call whenever we need to hire. They know what good looks like and don’t waste our time.

I rarely have time to interview extensively, so the quality of the shortlist for our household roles really mattered. Every candidate was relevant and appointable – I also like the feel of this agency – it’s cool and modern and the team just get you.

Fast, discreet and very well connected too. 19 were very good at understanding the nuances of the role and our lives. We were impressed by the quality of every candidate introduced and ended up hiring 2 candidates instead of the initial 1.

They found us a Nanny we simply wouldn’t have found ourselves. An excellent service from beginning to end.

The level of discretion and care throughout the hire of our House Manager in NYC was exceptional. We felt completely understood from the outset and felt they genuinely cared about our family having the right person.

We have worked with 19 London on several key hires – Personal and Executive Assistants, Investment Manager and other support staff – and they consistently deliver. They understand our world and the level we expect and that is why we moved them onto our PSL.
