Executive Assistant Recruitment

We understand how busy you are, which is why our step-by-step search and selection method has been fine-tuned over the years to make your executive assistant recruitment process as easy as possible.

We’re here to take the headache out of your recruitment. Just think of us as your expert recruitment partner who is on hand to help every step of the way, from taking your brief to managing the offer stage.

All you’ve got to do is meet and choose from our selection of top quality, pre-vetted candidates. Here’s a bit more information about how our executive assistant recruitment process works:

Briefing Meeting

The first stage of our proven process is the briefing meeting. During this meeting, your personal executive assistant recruitment consultant will get to know you, your business, and your hiring needs, enabling them to understand your company and its culture to ensure we find right-fit candidates for your EA recruitment needs.

Candidate Search

Next, we’ll begin our candidate search. Our specialist consultants will kick off the search process via our established database with thousands of permanent and temporary candidates. Depending on the results of this initial search, we will then decide to carry out a CV search or place anonymous adverts on established job boards.

Competency Based Interview/Assessment

We only put the very best candidates forward, so the next stage of our process is to conduct telephone interviews and assess whether the candidates are suitable for the job. If they are, we will then carry out a competency-based interview and assessment, so we can ensure their skills, behaviours, and aspirations are the right fit.

Candidate Selection

Next, your dedicated consultant will present to you a shortlist of high-quality, right-fit candidates who have been assessed and briefed to ensure they are the right candidates for your needs. In addition to their CVs, we will also provide a candidate profile, providing you with additional information about each candidate's skills and competencies.

Client and Candidate Management

Once you have selected the candidates you wish to take forward to interview, your consultant will thoroughly brief them and ensure they are fully prepared. Plus, we will also provide detailed feedback for both clients and candidates throughout the interview process to ensure there is no grey area and that everyone knows where they stand.

Offer and Follow Up

Finally, once you have chosen the candidate you wish to proceed with, we will organise referencing and right to work checks whilst also negotiating a suitable compensation package. Plus, we will remain in contact with you and the candidate beyond their start date to ensure the onboarding process runs as smoothly as possible.
