Confidentiality, NDAs & Vetting
How Medical Staff Talent protects Royal Households, Family Offices and UHNW principals throughout every clinical placement.
Discretion is not a courtesy we extend to Royal Household and Family Office clients — it is the operating standard for every mandate we accept, regardless of size. This page sets out, in full, how confidentiality is protected from first brief to placement, so your Chief of Staff or Private Office can approve the process with confidence.
Zero Public Broadcast
Royal Household and Family Office mandates are never listed publicly, never posted to job boards, and never shared with our broader candidate network as an open vacancy. Candidates are identified and approached individually from our existing, pre-vetted network, and briefed on the opportunity only after signing a non-disclosure agreement.
Candidate Vetting Standard
- Credential verification: primary source verification of qualifications, board certification and licensing history.
- Reference checks: direct verification with prior employers, with particular attention to discretion and conduct in private or high-profile settings.
- Clinical background review: assessment of clinical trajectory and specialty fit against the mandate.
- Discretion and continuity assessment: an additional layer specific to Royal Household and Family Office mandates, evaluating temperament, judgement and long-term fit for a private, in-residence environment.
Standard NDA Structure
Every engagement is governed by a non-disclosure agreement covering the household or family office identity, the nature of the role, and any information shared during the search. Candidates sign an NDA before receiving mandate details; clients receive candidate information only within the agreed circle of contact. Terms can be tailored further where a household’s existing legal counsel requires bespoke language.
Chain of Custody for Candidate Information
Candidate CVs, references and personal information are handled by a limited number of named consultants at Medical Staff Talent, never distributed beyond the individuals actively working the mandate, and retained only as long as necessary for the search — consistent with our Privacy Policy and GDPR commitments.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will our household or family office ever be named publicly during a search?
No. Your identity is disclosed only to individually approached candidates after they have signed an NDA, and never as part of a public listing or broader broadcast.
Can we require our own NDA or legal terms instead of your standard agreement?
Yes. Our standard NDA structure can be adapted to reflect terms required by your household’s or family office’s existing legal counsel.
Who at Medical Staff Talent has access to our mandate details?
Only the named consultants actively working your search have access to mandate and candidate details — information is never distributed more broadly within the firm.
How are candidates checked for discretion, not just clinical skill?
Beyond standard credential and reference checks, Royal Household and Family Office candidates undergo an additional discretion and continuity assessment evaluating their temperament and track record in private, high-profile settings.
