Executive Assistant Recruitment
Executive Assistant recruitment is at the heart of our business support team. We truly understand the impact a great EA can have on a business and individual.
Executive Assistants hold a unique and privileged position within any organisation, whereby the nature of their role means that they have detailed knowledge of and productive working relationships within all areas of the business. As such, Executive Assistants are some of the most versatile and adaptable people within any business.
The most indispensable EAs not only act as communications hubs across all levels of an organisation but are those that fully understand the strategic objectives of their business and proactively identify business needs and opportunities to ensure that those objectives are achieved.
THE BENEFITS OF HIRING AN EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
There are a multitude of benefits of hiring an Executive Assistant.
Typically, the role is not viewed as a revenue-generating position, however, executives should consider how much time a good Executive Assistant can give back to them.
Executives spend, on average, 58% of their time on emails.
A simple email triage system implemented by even the most junior of EAs can reduce the time spent on emails to circa 12%, giving executives 46% of their time back to focus on what’s really important: their business.
