Executive Assistant to Partner

Overview

Challenge

The primary challenge was finding a candidate with the right mix of professional acumen, experience, and cultural fit. The role demanded exceptional organizational, communication, and interpersonal skills, along with a proven track record in a similar capacity, preferably within a global consulting or advisory environment. The need for a candidate who could uphold the confidentiality and professionalism expected at the highest levels of executive support added to the complexity of the search.

Result

Through a focused search strategy that included seeking references from business leaders and leveraging extensive professional networks, the firm successfully appointed an Executive Assistant who has been excelling in the role for nearly a decade, as of December 2023. This long-standing tenure underscores the successful match between the candidate’s capabilities and the firm’s expectations, as well as the candidate’s ability to adapt and grow within the dynamic consulting environment.

Unique Approach

The search strategy was characterized by an aggressive pursuit of high-caliber candidates, primarily through direct referrals from business leaders within the consulting and advisory sectors. This approach ensured access to a pool of candidates who were not only proficient in executive support functions but also accustomed to the high-paced, global orientation of a top-tier consulting firm. By working closely with industry contacts and leveraging these high-quality referrals, the firm was able to identify and engage with candidates who had a demonstrated history of excellence in executive support roles. This targeted and referral-based search strategy was instrumental in finding an Executive Assistant who met the rigorous demands of the role and aligned with the firm’s esteemed culture and operational ethos.
