Blackbook Associates was founded on a simple observation: family offices and RIAs serving ultra-high-net-worth clients deserve better when it comes to hiring.
Most search firms treat private wealth recruitment as a side vertical—one of many industries they serve. The result is a reactive, generalist approach that misses what makes hiring in this space different: the need for discretion, the importance of cultural fit, and the reality that a bad hire in a small team is catastrophic.
We built Blackbook Associates to be different. We focus exclusively on single- and multi-family offices and UHNW-focused RIAs. It's all we do.
We're building the search firm we'd want to work with—one that understands private wealth operates differently. The dynamics are unique, the relationships are closer, and the margin for error is zero. Our mission is simple: to become the first call when you need to hire, and to deliver every time.
Through Blackbook, we've built a private network of thousands of assistants, Chiefs of Staff, and operational professionals supporting HNW and UHNW principals globally. This gives us constant visibility into the ecosystem surrounding private wealth—who's thriving, who's moving, and where opportunity lies.
