As a leading administrative staffing firm, our candidates come from a variety of backgrounds. When we hire an administrative assistant, we take the time to carefully assess their suitability for the role at hand – regardless of whether the need is temporary or more long-term.
We scrutinize our candidates’ experience and skillset as part of the administrative assistant hiring process, assessing the appropriate hard and soft skills, and undertake comprehensive reference checks to complete the process in order to provide you with a holistic understanding of your new employee.
When looking to hire an administrative assistant, whether a virtual administrative assistant working remotely or in-office team assistant, their tasks may vary depending on the business and the people they are supporting. For example, a less experienced candidate might take on a number of repetitive tasks, so will likely require a candidate who enjoys a routine. Conversely, a more senior position, like an office manager or an executive administrative assistant, will take on accountability and a broader range of responsibilities. This type of role would be better suited to a strong multi-tasker who has the capacity to prioritize.
