A Better Way to Hire an Administrative Assistant

Administrative work does not shrink when you ignore it, it spreads. Expense reports pile up, documents go out unproofed, filing decays, and your managers absorb it all in the margins of their day. Hiring locally means $50K+ a year plus a long search, for a role with high turnover. Our model closes that gap by matching you with a tested, experienced assistant who takes real ownership, at a fraction of the local cost.

Every candidate has passed structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation like formatting a document set against a deadline, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment before we introduce them. When you hire an administrative assistant through us, they are handling your scheduling, documents, and records within 30 days, with the employment contract, payroll, and HR admin fully on our side.

What does an Administrative Assistant do?

An administrative assistant keeps the paperwork side of your business current and correct, so your team's hours go to their actual jobs.

  • Manage scheduling and correspondence, keeping calendars accurate and email responses moving the same day
  • Prepare documents, presentations, and reports, formatted and proofed before they reach clients or leadership
  • Process expenses, invoices, and purchase requests, keeping records organized and approvals moving on time
  • Maintain files, CRM records, and databases so information is findable in seconds instead of buried in inboxes

When is it time to Hire an Administrative Assistant?

Most teams decide to hire an administrative assistant when the admin backlog starts costing them visibly, in late invoices, messy documents, and managers doing data entry.

Your office manager or team leads are buried in paperwork that has nothing to do with their actual roles

Scheduling a single meeting takes eleven emails and still ends up double-booked

Expense reports and invoices pile up until finance starts sending increasingly tense reminders

Documents go out with errors because nobody has time to format and proof them properly

How much does it cost to Hire an Administrative Assistant?

Hiring an administrative assistant locally typically costs $4,000 to $6,000 per month once you factor in salary, benefits, and overhead. With our model, you can reduce that cost by up to 70% while still getting a full-time administrative assistant working directly inside your calendars, document systems, and expense workflows.

Common Questions

How fast can an administrative assistant start?
Most start within 30 days, including matching, interviews, and a structured handover of your calendars, document templates, and recurring administrative tasks.
How experienced are they?
Typically 3 to 7+ years in administrative roles supporting teams or executives, usually for US and European companies, with strong written English and proven attention to detail.
How are candidates screened?
Through structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation such as preparing and proofing a document package under deadline, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment.
Can they handle confidential paperwork?
Yes. Assistants sign NDAs and work under access permissions you control, so contracts, personnel files, and financial records are handled with documented discretion.
Will they work my hours?
Yes. We match candidates to your time zone, so scheduling requests, document turnarounds, and same-day asks are handled live during your working day.
What tools do they know?
Most are fluent in Microsoft Office, Google Workspace, Calendly, DocuSign, Expensify, Slack, and Zoom, and they learn your internal systems during their first weeks.
Why not hire a temp or part-time admin locally?
Temps reset to zero every few months and part-timers miss half the week's requests. When you hire an administrative assistant through us, one person owns your admin continuously, full time.
