The Problem
The Small Stuff Takes the Most Time.
Appointments, bookings, bills and follow-ups don’t need you, but they still land on you. Hire someone who handles them before you have to think about them.

Calendar Chaos
Double bookings, missed appointments and constant rescheduling.
02
Inbox Overload
Personal and work email mixed together, with important messages buried.
03
Weekends on Admin
Travel, bills, renewals and household admin fill the time you meant to take off.
The Role
What a Strong Personal Assistant Owns
The personal and professional admin that keeps your life running.
01
Calendar
Scheduling, reminders and rescheduling across work and personal commitments.
02
Inbox
Triage, replies and follow-up so nothing important gets missed.
03
Travel
Flights, hotels, itineraries and changes handled end to end.
04
Bookings & Calls
Restaurants, appointments, service providers and vendor calls.
05
Personal Admin
Bills, subscriptions, renewals and online orders tracked and handled.
06

“If you’re looking for really good talent at a fair price, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the quality HireUA can provide.”

“Hiring is such a time sink, and when you’re trying to grow a business, you need people who can actually contribute and think strategically, not just follow instructions.”
“Used HireUA to hire my first employees for my company and they were absolutely fantastic. Helped pave the way for how I operate the business now. If you’re looking for extremely talented overseas employees, dont hesitate to reach of to HireUA. They make the process extremely simple and easy. They literally handle everything from sourcing, interview screening, managing, etc”
“HireUA has been a pleasure to work with. Less than a week in and I had multiple interviews lined up with some really solid candidates. Any issues that came up during the process were solved immediately by their team, allowing me to keep my focus on the business.”
“I used HireUA to get a social media manager/VA. They were fast, reliable, well-priced, and professional to deal with. Now I’m referring clients to them which is the ultimate sign of trust. Stop using bad agencies and work with a pro like HireUA.”

Trust and Initiative.
A Personal Assistant sees a lot of your life. We test for discretion.

Define the Seat
Personal only, or work and personal? Which hours and which time zone?
02
Check Communication
Written and spoken English tested for calls with vendors and offices.
03
Run a Practical Task
A short task: plan a three-day trip with a tricky schedule.
04
Check Discretion
We check references and how they’ve handled confidential information before.
