Hiring the right Executive Assistant (EA) for your C-suite executives is critical for ensuring smooth day-to-day operations.

Understand the Role and What You Need

Before you start your search, it’s essential to have a clear understanding of what an Executive Assistant does. EAs are much more than secretaries; they’re strategic partners who manage complex schedules, handle sensitive communications, and organize essential company operations. When hiring an EA for your C-suite, consider the following:


  • Experience: Does the candidate have experience supporting high-level executives?

  • Skills: A great EA should possess exceptional organizational skills, excellent communication, and proficiency with technology.

  • Cultural Fit: Ensure the EA's personality and work style align with your team and company's values.


At Pacific Placement, we are experts at matching high-level candidates to your unique needs. Contact us today to discuss how we can assist with finding the perfect EA for your team.

What to Look for in a Great Executive Assistant

When hiring an EA for your C-suite, it’s important to evaluate candidates based on a few key characteristics:


  1. Proactive Nature: Your EA should anticipate your needs before they arise and be one step ahead of you at all times.

  2. Exceptional Organizational Skills: A great EA can juggle multiple priorities without losing track of important details.

  3. Discretion and Confidentiality: EAs working with C-suite executives need to manage sensitive information with the utmost professionalism.

  4. Strong Communication: Both verbal and written communication must be impeccable, as the EA will often be the liaison between you and others.
