Recruitment process
How Valmore searches.
- Search often begins with a family-office structuring conversation
- References cross-checked across foundations, PE and household networks
- Human partner signs every shortlist; AI screens evidence only
- Post-placement onboarding across HR, payroll and household governance
AI + human review
Evidence first. Humans decide.
Valmore uses AI to organize job-related evidence — experience, references, verified skills — and to recommend up to six candidates for consideration. Every shortlist is reviewed and approved by a senior partner. AI never makes the final employment decision, and Valmore never uses protected characteristics such as race, religion, sex, age or national origin.
Every New York search is treated as a family-office matter with full NDAs, sealed résumés and blind introductions.
Frequently asked
Common questions from New York principals.
Do you work with existing family offices?
Yes. Many New York placements complement an existing family-office structure and report directly to a principal or COO.
Can you handle multi-residence roles?
Yes. City, Hamptons and international coordination is standard for our senior New York placements.
Is compensation discussed early?
Only privately, after intake. Ranges are calibrated against comparable family offices and never published on this site.
Do you support relocations?
Yes. Relocation into the tri-state area is coordinated through Valmore's Relocation practice when needed.
