It’s hard to find the right assistant.

The Executive/Assistant partnership is a partnership like no other. And, it should be treated as such.
It’s different than any other relationship you have at work. But how are we supposed to know what to do?

Executives are rarely, if ever, formally taught how to hire, train, or prosper from an Assistant, at any level in their careers.
Assistants are rarely, if ever, formally taught how to quickly adapt to a new Executive’s entire workflow, ensuring success on both sides.

You need a specialized recruiter proactively searching for your perfect Assistant.

C-suite executives and entrepreneurs don’t have the bandwidth to hire or train an Assistant, nor should they.

Internal HR may not be well versed in hiring and training this very specific person to do this very specific role.

Generalized recruiting firms work on commission, and they may ignore the less lucrative administrative posts.

I am uniquely situated to solve your problem. I have been an Executive. I have been an Assistant. I have had my own Assistant. I know the ins and outs of this partnership like I know my own life.

I have a deep passion and appreciation for this partnership. I spent 15 years in the demanding role of an Executive 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. I have seen partnerships at their best and at their worst, and I know the building blocks for both.

I will screen the applicants, extract a selection, and interview the standouts.

“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.”

“Monique instilled confidence in our team to find the right fit for the EA to our CEO. She taught us how to evaluate candidates beyond the resume and skillset, and coached us to see what our CEO actually needs, and what candidate profile will allow him to truly operate in his genius.  Monique is efficient, direct, and fun to work with...her energy was just what we needed to get us excited about casting the net again!”

Why Me?

  • 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.

  • I’m a one-man band. You work directly with me from start to finish.

  • I offer administrative recruitment, not placement. Many hiring firms match you with someone from an existing Assistant database, collected over weeks, months, or years. I get you fresh candidates every time.

  • I love first-timers! I know this experience can be overwhelming for an Executive who already has a full plate. Let me help you get through it all with ease and grace!

“Your words of wisdom and tricks to unlock a strategic partnership with our executives were not just informative, they were impactful. Such valuable insights from someone that has been in our shoes really hit home.”

— Kari Iseminger, Office of the CEO, Target

“Working with Monique 180’ed my business! She’s brought my relationship with my Assistant from one of frustration and misunderstandings to one of consideration and empathy. She filled our cups with confidence, totally modernized our procedures, and helped us implement things that I cannot imagine living without. Without a doubt, she shifted my bottom line and up-levelled my life.”

— Pete Longworth, Visual Poet & Photographer, The Art of Seeing
