Executive Assistant, PA & HR Recruitment in Manchester

The best Executive Assistants and PAs in the region were being placed by London agencies with no real feel for the North West, or by generalists who didn’t understand the role.

Over a decade on, Manchester is still where the heart of our business sits, and it’s where our founder-led approach was shaped. Manchester businesses like backing their own, and we’re proud that so much of our work in the city still comes through referral from clients we’ve placed for over the years.

We place across the full HR ladder: HR Administrators, HR Advisors, HR Business Partners, HR Managers and HR Directors, along with People & Culture, Talent and L&D specialists.

The same specialist, relationship-led approach applies whether you’re building an HR function from scratch or hiring at director level. For a deeper look at our HR work in the city, see our dedicated Manchester HR page.

Salaries have risen sharply as the city’s tech, professional-services and HR base has grown, and the best candidates are often placed within days rather than weeks.

Hybrid working is now the norm across most sectors, which widens your talent pool across Greater Manchester and Cheshire while also raising expectations on flexibility. We benchmark every role against our own live North West data, drawn directly from our 2026 Salary Survey, so your offer lands right first time.

Executives and founders often live in one and work in the other, and businesses across the region draw from the same talent pool. If you’re hiring in Cheshire itself, whether for a corporate role or a private principal, our dedicated Cheshire page covers both.
