Our Executive Assistant Staffing Services

Flexible executive assistant staffing for permanent, contract, temp-to-hire, and strategic administrative hiring needs.

Executive Assistants

We place executive assistants and senior EAs for CEOs, founders, C-suite teams, hedge funds, PE-backed firms, hospitality groups, and corporate offices requiring polished, discreet support.

Personal Assistants

Confidential personal assistant recruitment for founders, family-office principals, and high-demand leaders who need proactive support across calendars, travel, household coordination, and special projects.

Contract Staffing

Flexible contract staffing for short-term coverage, leave support, project-based executive support, interim administrative needs, and scaling teams without immediate permanent headcount commitment.

Permanent Recruitment

Direct-hire recruitment for long-term executive assistant and administrative support roles, using rigorous screening, reference checks, and culture-fit evaluation before candidates are introduced.

Temp-to-Hire

Reduce hiring risk by evaluating an assistant during a contract period before converting to permanent employment, especially useful for high-trust executive support roles.

Market Analysis

Benchmark compensation, talent availability, competitor hiring activity, and geographic candidate pools to help shape realistic executive assistant hiring plans and stronger offers.
