A Better Way to Hire an Executive Assistant

Most people who get to the point of hiring an executive assistant are already running at capacity. The calendar is unmanaged, follow-ups are falling through, and the hiring process itself takes months. By the time someone starts, the cost of running without support has already been significant.

Our model closes that gap. We identify and vet executive assistant candidates through structured skills-based testing, real-world scenario evaluation, and a hands-on AI fluency assessment, so you only meet people who are already proven. Once selected, your executive assistant is embedded in your tools, calendar, and workflows within 30 days, with no employment admin or compliance overhead on your end.

What does an Executive Assistant do?

An executive assistant gives you back the bandwidth to focus on the work that actually requires your judgment. When you hire an executive assistant, you're adding someone who keeps priorities clear, logistics handled, and nothing important dropped.

  • Manage calendar and scheduling across multiple stakeholders, proactively resolving conflicts before they reach the executive
  • Filter the inbox, draft correspondence, and surface only the communications that need direct attention
  • Prepare briefing documents, meeting agendas, and materials so every session starts with context and clear objectives
  • Track action items and follow-ups across meetings and projects so execution stays on track between sessions

When is it time to Hire an Executive Assistant?

The trigger to hire an executive assistant is usually the same: your day is being consumed by coordination, logistics, and administrative tasks instead of the work only you can do. When that pattern becomes visible, the cost of waiting is already higher than the cost of hiring.

Calendar management and scheduling conflicts are taking hours each week that should be spent on higher-impact work

Follow-ups from key meetings and stakeholder conversations are inconsistent or getting missed entirely

The executive is personally handling travel coordination, logistics, and recurring tasks that don't require their direct involvement

Meeting prep, updates, and briefing materials are getting done at the last minute or not at all

Hiring an executive assistant locally typically costs $6,000 to $8,000 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 EA working directly inside your calendar, inbox, and workflows.

Common Questions

How quickly can an executive assistant get started?
Most teams have a candidate selected within days and someone fully onboarded within 30 days. The process is built to move fast so you're not waiting months while the backlog grows.
What level of experience do candidates typically have?
Candidates generally have 3-7+ years supporting executives or senior leaders in fast-paced environments. They're used to managing competing priorities, context-switching quickly, and keeping operations moving between the gaps.
How do you ensure quality before I meet candidates?
Every candidate goes through skills-based testing, written communication evaluation, and real-world scenario review. You only see pre-vetted options who have already cleared a high bar.
Can they handle confidential information and sensitive communications?
Yes. Discretion is part of the vetting criteria, not an assumption. NDA and compliance documentation are completed as part of onboarding before they access your systems or calendar.
Can they work in my time zone?
Yes. When you hire an executive assistant through us, candidates are matched based on your working hours so coverage aligns with your core schedule, not the other way around.
What tools and systems are they familiar with?
Most candidates are experienced with Google Workspace, Outlook, Slack, Notion, travel platforms, and project management tools. They adapt quickly to new internal systems and workflows.
How is this different from hiring a VA or using a staffing agency?
You get a full-time, embedded team member dedicated entirely to your role. Not someone splitting attention across multiple clients, working at arm's length, or requiring heavy management from your side.
