Mayfair W1 is synonymous with world-class luxury. Home to some of London's most celebrated five-star hotels — including Claridge's, The Connaught, The Dorchester and Grosvenor House — as well as a constellation of Michelin-starred restaurants, exclusive private members' clubs and landmark event spaces, the district operates at a standard of hospitality that leaves absolutely no margin for error. A single under-staffed shift or a poorly matched candidate can damage the reputation of a venue that has taken decades to build.

Team RAL — Recruitment Agency London was built specifically to serve this exacting environment.
