We deliver exceptional assistants who become long-term assets to their principals—trusted operators who integrate seamlessly, understand your rhythm, and consistently add value.
Expert assistant recruitment with a focus on chemistry, context, and continuity.
Our permanent search model is built for speed, precision, and long-term value – offering a no-risk, contingency-based solution for clients seeking exceptional assistant talent.
Whether you are hiring into a corporate boardroom, private office, or founder-led environment, we prioritise not just experience, but alignment: of work style, chemistry, accessibility, and long-term expectations.
Unlike generalist recruiters, we do not just match profiles to job specs. We go deeper – understanding the pressures, pace, and decision-making dynamics of the principals we support. We factor in industry nuances, personality drivers, communication styles, and the often-unspoken preferences that make or break assistant relationships.
Our shortlists are tightly curated. Every candidate we present is vetted for long-term suitability, cultural compatibility, and the ability to operate at the tempo and discretion your role demands. Whether you are replacing a long-standing EA or building your support function for the first time, we deliver talent that fits – and stays.
We have unrivalled access within this market, reaching over 1 million professionals every quarter. Our industry-specific market mapping and advanced headhunting techniques ensure we leave no stone unturned in finding the best talent.
We thoroughly assess each candidate’s experience, emotional intelligence, commercial acumen, ambitions for the future, and career longevity, advancing only the most qualified and aligned individuals to the next stage.
We present a refined shortlist of the top six candidates, complete with assessments on fit, development areas, expectations, and availability, ensuring you have all the insights needed to make the right decision.
