Advice on PA Recruitment (for the hirer and the candidate).
If you require a Personal Assistant (PA) or an Executive Assistant (EA) for your business, Lamb Personnel are perfectly positioned at PA Recruitment in South West London.
We are experts at digging deep when understanding requirements; both from a skills standpoint as well as a personality standpoint. Working with a PA or EA can differ from company to company, and we put a lot of focus into ensuring the fit is right on both sides.
One part that can be often overlooked is the relationship between the PA and the Executive. This is vitally important that you take into account that patience and personality are often more important than typing speed and industry experience.
The Perfect Personal Assistant (PA) or Executive Assistant (EA)
It's often important that the PA / EA can network with colleagues and clients alike. Someone who understands the company culture and understands the wider picture inside and outside the organisation.
The PA / Executive relationship can be a sensitive situation, so it must be managed correctly.
There may be times when the PA / Executive will have to work late and spend a lot of time on the phone with the other party, so it's important from both sides that your partner approves and respects the working relationship, particularly when working overtime or where travel is involved. This can and does cause problems so it's best to discuss with your partner well in advance.
A good PA /EA will take initiative and think outside the box in order to make the executive's business life easier and stress-free.
