IT’S HARD TO FIND THE RIGHT ASSISTANT
The Executive-Assistant partnership is a partnership like no other.
It’s unlike any other relationship you will have at work.
As an Executive, you (hopefully) understand the pivotal role an Assistant plays in your success.
Yet, finding the perfect fit 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 an Assistant, nor should they.
Internal Corporate Recruiters are not well versed in hiring or 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.
Generalized Recruiting Firms just don’t get it. They work on commission and will 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.
This partnership isn’t theory to me—it’s lived experience, and I know exactly what it takes to make it work.
I have a deep passion and appreciation for this partnership. I’ve spent 20+ years in the demanding role of an 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.

We’ll identify your true support needs, both in skill and personality.
I screen the applicants, extract a selection, and interview the standouts.
I hand-pick the finest candidates and deliver them right to your inbox.

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
“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.”
Madison Orozco-Tello, Chief of Staff, Cady Studios

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.
