Personal and Family Driver Recruitment

Trusted chauffeurs for private clients, prominent families, residences and Private Offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, London and across Europe.

We recruit private, family, school-run and International chauffeurs for daily transportation, journeys with children, business engagements and international schedules.

We do not forward a stream of CVs. We present carefully selected candidates who have confirmed their availability, acceptance of the terms and genuine interest in your position.

A Chauffeur Is Part of a Family’s Private Infrastructure

A private chauffeur works in close proximity to the principal, family members, children, guests and business associates. The chauffeur has access to residence addresses, daily routes, schedules, children’s travel arrangements and other sensitive private information.

For this reason, professional driving experience alone is not enough.

We assess whether a candidate is prepared to work within a discreet private environment: respecting hierarchy and confidentiality, maintaining impeccable service without constant supervision, coordinating with the Personal Assistant, Estate Manager and security team, carrying out instructions correctly and remaining composed when plans change.

Our role is not to provide dozens of profiles, but to help the family appoint a chauffeur aligned with its lifestyle, security requirements and household protocols.

Chauffeurs We Recruit

We develop a tailored candidate profile based on the family structure, routes, vehicle fleet, schedule and established service standards.

Not a CV Database, but Confirmed Candidate Interest

Before being introduced to the client, each candidate confirms the key terms of the position.

We Verify What Others Simply Forward

  • assess discretion and identify inconsistencies in responses;
  • document risks and communicate them to the client.
