Do I need an executive assistant or personal assistant?
Differences between assistants
Glad you asked. Personal assistant jobs are different than EA jobs. An executive assistant traditionally works in a corporate setting, while a PA works in a private household, but sometimes both are needed.
We will help you develop job description that outlines the personal assistance services that are needed, which is a powerful tool used for attracting the right candidate.
Since no two personal assistant jobs are alike, listing the specific set of skills needed is very important. Some assistants might need a real estate license and need appropriate training in negotiating contracts, while others might need to be a certified nurse's aide because the employer is elderly. In short, you tell us what you need and we can start our search.

Can you search for a personal assistant outside of the Honolulu, HI area?
Staff search in the Hawaiian Islands
Yes. Finding a trusted personal assistant takes time, and some employers have very tall orders (a needle in a haystack). So, we can do a domestic and international search to present you with the very best candidates for selection.
Typically speaking, the narrower the set of circumstances, the longer the search takes. If, for example, you needed a licensed practical nurse who is a hybrid personal assistant that speaks two languages, that would take extra time to find the right fit.

What's the difference between a secretary and an executive assistant?
Assistant duties vary office by office
Both positions require possession of fundamental skills. Such duties include understanding office processes, knowing how to schedule internal meetings, and managing office visitors. In short, both roles are essentially clerical assistants.
Some might argue that a secretary serves as more of an administrative role while the executive assistant has larger responsibilities. It's really up to the employer to decide the vernacular that they will use. It's worth noting that most consider the title of secretary to be outdated, and most people now use the title executive assistant.
