Executive Assistant

Overview

Challenge

The primary challenge was to find a candidate with not only exceptional organizational and administrative skills but also a strong understanding of the business context in which the leader operated. The role demanded a high level of professionalism, discretion, and the ability to act as an extension of the leader, particularly in their absence. Furthermore, the candidate needed to seamlessly integrate into the fast-paced and intellectually demanding environment of a leading consulting firm.

Result

The search strategy, focusing on client and market-facing organizations, led to the successful identification of a suitable candidate within a growing media company. This individual had held a responsible role that closely matched the desired profile, demonstrating the requisite combination of executive support skills and business acumen. Their experience in a dynamic and evolving media company provided them with the adaptability and foresight needed to excel as an Executive Assistant in the consulting firm.

Unique Approach

The recruitment process was designed to target professionals within organizations known for their client-centric approach and market-facing activities, ensuring candidates had exposure to high-stake business environments. By concentrating the search on industries with parallels to consulting, such as media, which demand agility, strategic communication, and a proactive approach, the firm was able to attract candidates with the right mix of skills and experience. This targeted approach, coupled with a thorough assessment of candidates’ ability to independently manage responsibilities and uphold the leader’s standards in various scenarios, ensured the selection of an Executive Assistant who could truly “hold the fort” in the leader’s absence and contribute effectively to their success.
