Questions clients ask

Before we begin

Why choose Leaman Consulting for Family Office and Private PA recruitment?

These appointments require a close understanding of the person, responsibilities and private environment involved. Anne Corrett leads our senior Family Office and Chief of Staff searches, while Catherine Sharp specialises in Private PA and senior support appointments. You work directly with experienced consultants who understand the judgement, discretion and personal compatibility these roles demand.

How do you understand the way our family office operates and find someone we can trust?

We begin with a detailed conversation about your Principal’s priorities, office structure, trusted advisers and working style. We clarify responsibilities, reporting lines and the level of autonomy required, then assess candidates against that specific brief. Experience and references matter, alongside judgement, communication and the ability to build lasting working relationships.

How do you manage sensitive searches with discretion and confidentiality?

Confidentiality is central to our work. Many of our private office appointments are handled discreetly without public advertising. Your consultant manages communication carefully, sharing relevant information with selected candidates who have been briefed and agreed to be considered.
