We work with…
highly experienced, top-caliber executive assistants and chiefs of staff who are passionate about their roles and have chosen the administrative career as their profession. We focus on making long-term successful business partnerships between our candidates and executive clients. We excel at finding world-class executive assistants for CEOs, managing directors, or rising stars.
Our Values
First and foremost, we identify with you! As former career Executive Assistants/Administrative Managers/Chiefs of Staff, we understand the extraordinary demands placed on you by the high pressure and complex nature of your position. We know at a core level what it takes to be successful as an EA and believe whole-heartedly in the importance and value of that role within the office of the CEO.
Because we have walked in your shoes, we also understand the importance of working with the right executive partner. Your working relationship with an executive can significantly impact your sense of job fulfillment, self-confidence, and overall happiness. Our goal is to make that relationship a positive and highly beneficial one for both you and our client.
100% CONFIDENTIALITY
We know starting a job search can cause anxiety for a number of reasons. One of the most common concerns you have is your current employer or Executive will discover you are considering a new role. That’s why building trust is at the center of what we do. Our entire process is 100% confidential, starting with 1-on-1 in-person sessions to review your career path and resume.
THE FIT REALLY MATTERS TO US
Maintaining a high level of satisfaction is all about honesty, care and attention upfront. We get to know you and develop a clear understanding of what’s important to you in a workplace culture, organization, and Executive. We understand and appreciate the “business partner” role you play in an organization, and match you with an Executive who aligns and respects your talents and impact on business.
Our Approach
As a retained search firm, our fundamental motivation is distinctly different than what many candidates may have experienced in working with contingency-based personnel agencies. In short, we are essentially paid upfront by our clients to perform a targeted and extensive search for their future Executive Assistants and Chiefs of Staff. Given our commitment to making successful long-term partnerships, it is essential for us to assess the work environment in which you best thrive and to determine if our client’s working style is the best fit for you. In order to do so, we diligently strive to understand your needs, your past work experience, the different environments and office cultures you have been in, and the types of executives you have previously supported. The majority of the administrative professionals we work with are currently employed. We adhere to a strict confidentiality policy with regard to your privacy. Your information is never released without your explicit permission.
Our Relationship With Our Executive Clients
On the other side of the equation, we always interview our clients upfront to evaluate:- The scope of responsibilities of the position and specific skills required
- The executive’s work, management, and communication styles
- The executive’s expectations of the executive assistant/chief of staff role(s) and dynamics within the office of the executive
- Office enviroment and corporate culture
Our Support
Once you become a finalist candidate, our goal is to support you throughout the interview process. We offer interview preparation and guidance and will inform you in a timely manner of the search progress and client feedback. If our client selects you for the position (and you accept), we will support you during the entire salary and benefits negotiation process. We continue to guide you as you prepare to give notice to your employer and thereafter—as you transition into your exciting new role with our client!Prospective Candidates
