Duke & Duchess International

Eight years powering a global luxury recruitment agency

A long-term digital partnership delivering a sophisticated recruitment platform for one of the UK's leading childcare and education agencies.

RecruitmentLuxury & High-Net-WorthInternational

The Challenge

Duke & Duchess International had outgrown their basic brochure website. As a premium agency placing highly qualified nannies, governesses, tutors and maternity nurses with distinguished clients across the globe – with offices in London, Dubai and Moscow – they needed a platform that matched the sophistication of their service. Managing candidate applications, client enquiries and internal workflows manually was creating bottlenecks as the business grew.

What We Built

We designed and built a multilingual, performance-focused website that reflects the prestige of the Duke & Duchess brand – paired with a bespoke candidate onboarding system and intelligent enquiry routing to match the right professionals with the right clients.

The platform features a secure online portal for candidates, e-signing capabilities for placements, and a full integration with Recruit CRM – giving the internal team complete visibility of their pipeline.

We've continued to evolve the platform alongside the business since 2017, implementing new features, supporting the team day-to-day, and providing strategic advice as their digital needs have grown.

Ongoing Support

We've been DDI's digital partner since 2017 – handling everything from technical support and feature development to CRM maintenance and strategic planning. As their business has grown and evolved, so has the platform we build and maintain for them.
