Silver Swan and it’s staff are great. They are very personable, grounded yet effervescent and genuine. In true service to our private service communities and their clientele. Always a pleasure, like spending time with valuable friends. I’ve known them for the past few years and mostly chatted with Jessica Parkin, who has always been very helpful with questions and possible positions for people I’ve recommended.

Professional and collaborative, friendly, and extremely supportive community which is the true leading light in PA/EA community forums and groups. Enjoy the workshops/online seminars, social meet-ups with guest speakers, and face-to-face time that Philippa, Laura, and the teams at Silver Swan provide, they really do care about their candidates - I had already got a temp role through the online community group via another member - pretty much as soon as I joined. Fantastic results! Highly recommend the team at Silver Swan. First rate.

I discovered Silver Swan thanks to a private Chef I worked with. He recommended this agency to me, and now I can recommend it to everyone else! Anna and Charlotte are two great recruiters I had the pleasure of talking to. They remembered all my needs and requirements and found me the perfect job for the winter season. I'm so happy! I hope that thanks to you I will have the opportunity to find another great job during the summer season. THANK YOU!

As an estate manager you sometimes feel like an island, surrounded by work and responsibility with no real connection to others in similar roles. Silver Swan has been instrumental in connecting me with others in similar positions and it has opened so many doors for me personally in terms of connections, recommendations, support and training. They have connected me with other UHNW estate managers, household assistants, personal assistants and others which makes recruiting, job hunting and trading advice and contacts for professional services in my area so much easier. They also have guest speakers and other training professionals lined up to give classes and seminars which I find very useful. Very grateful to Chris for reaching out and bringing me into the community

Not only would I like to highlight their great professionalism in the selection process, but also their boldness in choosing a position that matched accurately my needs and preferences. They were very approachable, addressed all my doubts, and above all, they were open, kind and friendly. I would not hesitate to recommend the services of this agency, and I will certainly turn to them if needed in the future. I appreciate your impeccable work.

During my recent recruitment process, I had the pleasure of working with Luke Quaintance at Silver Swan. I am pleased to share that my experience was outstanding. Right from the beginning, Luke proved to be highly professional, punctual, and approachable. He offered regular contact so that I always felt in the loop. His friendly demeanour and thorough pre-interview guidance greatly contributed to a positive overall experience. I never felt like I was lost going into an interview, which really helped with nerves! He was extremely flexible when it came to planning around my schedule as well as sorting out difficult administration. Thanks to his help, I was able to secure a dream position.
