The hiring authority at a hedge fund came to us to find a personal assistant for the busy president of the firm. The challenge was to find an assistant who would fit in with the culture at the firm, since the PA would be a liaison between the family and the employees there and the firm was made up of graduates from top schools. In addition to well-educated and smart, the individual needed to be comfortable doing research and not too proud to run errands and occasionally make breakfast. We found a perfect fit in a 2014 university graduate, who is unflappable and easily handles the demands of the job and the temperament of the principal which can fluctuate due to the demands of the trading desk.
