Specialist recruitment agency Randolphs is delighted to announce the opening of a dedicated Russian desk to meet the needs of its Russian clients based in London and overseas. The desk will be headed up by Victoria Life, a Russian from St Petersburg, whose relevant experience and ability to speak the language will facilitate a far smoother experience forRussians looking to recruit private household staff, including butlers, chefs,chauffeurs, housekeepers, executive assistants, governesses or childcare.
Victoria, who gained a degree in business law in St Petersburg, spent seven years as a company lawyer inRussia, before relocating, first to the Philippines, where she worked in human resources in Manila, and then to London, with her English husband. Since 2012she has specialised in recruitment.
With a natural talent for communicating, Victoria finds herself in an ideal new role. Of her particular market, she says: "In Moscow, and also inFrance where a lot of Russians live, people often ask for nativeEnglish-speaking governesses and also traditional English butlers. It's a demanding market; but also an expanding one. We have many Russian-speaking clients in London and also the south of France, and the number is growing. So these are the clients I shall be looking after, regardless of where they are based."
