It’s hard to find the right assistant.
The Executive-Assistant partnership is a partnership like no other.
And it should be treated as such.
It’s different than any other relationship you have at work.
As an Executive, you (hopefully) understand the pivotal role an Assistant plays in your success.
Yet, finding the perfect fit often feels daunting.
My Specialized Administrative Recruiting Service goes beyond the basics, focusing on aligning the right Assistant with your unique needs and leadership style. Leveraging my extensive experience, I ensure a seamless match that enhances productivity and harmony.
C-suite executives and entrepreneurs don’t have the bandwidth to hire or train an Assistant, nor should they.
Internal HR may not be well versed in hiring and training this very specific person to do this very specific role.
Trust me to identify, recruit, and train an Administrative Professional who becomes an invaluable extension of your leadership team. Let's transform your work life with the perfect partnership.
General recruiting firms work on commission, and they may ignore the less lucrative administrative posts.
SPECIALIZED ADMINISTRATIVE RECRUITING
I am uniquely situated to solve your problem. I have been an Executive. I have been an Assistant. I have had my own Assistant. I know the ins and outs of this partnership like I know my own life.
I have a deep passion and appreciation for this partnership. I spent 15+ years in the demanding role of an Executive Assistant, including my last decade as the “Chief of Simon Sinek.” During that time, I met with thousands of Executives and worked with thousands of their Assistants. I have seen partnerships at their best and their worst, and I know the building blocks for both.
Let’s identify your true support needs, both in skill and personality.
I will screen the applicants, extract a selection, and interview the standouts.
I will hand-pick 2-4 of the finest candidates and deliver them right to your email inbox.
OFFICE MANAGER * ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT * EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT * EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT TO THE C-SUITE * ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT * OPERATIONS MANAGER * PROJECT COORDINATOR * CHIEF OF STAFF * EXECUTIVE BUSINESS PARTNER
I’ll construct the perfect job description to find your new Assistant.
I’ll post the position for nearly 20,000 high-performing Assistants to see nationwide.
I can assist with things like onboarding plans, coaching and training.
WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
“Monique has been a tremendous resource for me. After carefully studying my work habits and my needs as an Executive, she found me a fantastic Executive Assistant who has in very short order made a huge impact on our organization. Finding the person is only the first part of her service. She also spent several coaching sessions with me and my new EA to help us learn how best to work together. It’s been a great experience, and I highly recommend Monique to anyone looking to fill this role.”
David Marlin, President, MetaComet Systems (Recruited an Executive Assistant to the CEO)
“I didn't think I could possibly find an EA to replace myself - someone I could trust with the leader I'd served for so long. I didn't think I could possibly let someone in that circle. Not only did Monique find the PERFECT fit for my executive, but she kindly guided me through the process with grace and encouragement. I couldn't have done it without her. To anyone considering Monique's services in any capacity, I would encourage you to do so. She has become a partner in the transition of our new EA and even given me advice in my new role. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.”

WHY WORK WITH ME?
I spend significant time up-front with you and your team, working to get a clear picture of who you need and why you need them.
I’m a one-man band. You work directly with me from start to finish.
I offer Administrative Recruitment, not Placement. Many hiring firms match you with someone from an existing database, collected over weeks, months, or years. I get you fresh candidates every time.
I love first-timers! I know this experience can be overwhelming for an Executive with a full plate. Let me help you get through it all with ease and grace!
