What Makes Recruiting Personal Assistants Different from Executive Assistants?
While the roles of a personal assistant and an executive assistant may be the same in certain respects, there are some key differences. The former is an administrative professional who provides support to a senior executive, celebrity, or high-net worth individual, and their families in helping them manage their often complicated personal lives, schedules, and range of properties. Often, the personal assistant works from an office at their boss’s main residence, however, sometimes the PA works from the boss’s corporate office as part of the senior administrative support team. The main thing that distinguishes the PA from other support roles is that their focus is assisting with the private affairs of the person or family they serve. No matter which role you’re looking for, it’s important to hire a personal assistant recruitment agency that understands the difference.
Responsibilities Vary by Role but Generally Include:
- Maintaining and coordinating business and private calendars
