Hire an Executive Assistant From $1,500/Month

We recruit high-caliber Executive Assistants globally — people who can own your calendar, inbox, travel, projects, and the thousand little decisions currently living in your head.

What A Great EA Gives You Back

  1. Calendar ownership
    Not scheduling. Protecting your time.
  2. Inbox ownership
    Sorting, drafting, following up, closing loops.
  3. Project ownership
    The stuff that dies in your “idea graveyard.”
  4. Judgment
    Understanding the outcome when the plan breaks.

REAL EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT RESULTS

Three Hires. Three Founders Who Got Their Lives Back.

Plenty of recruiting companies can tell you they have “great candidates.” We have the clients on video explaining what actually happened after the hire.

PABLO MILANDU

$60K

ESTIMATED ANNUAL SAVINGS

He Was Drowning. His EA Changed The Trajectory Of The Business.

Pablo came to HireUA unsure whether he needed customer success, a VA, or something else. We helped define the seat. His Executive Assistant quickly became the flexible, high-ownership operator the business actually needed.

THE BIRDHOUSE

EA → OPS

PROMOTED INTO OPERATIONS LEADERSHIP

His First Hire Became One Of The Most Important People In The Company.

Sofia started as Marcos’s Executive Assistant, took on increasingly important work, was promoted to Operations Manager, and eventually became someone he described as a business partner.

NOAH KAIN

2 WEEKS

ROLE FILLED

His Assistant Started Moving The Projects That Had Been Sitting On The Back Burner.

Noah needed more than calendar help. Irene took on internal communication, project management and CRM work — the projects that had been holding the business back.

THE REAL JOB

Your EA Should Remove Decisions, Not Create More Of Them.

The best Executive Assistants do not wait for a perfect SOP. They understand what you are trying to accomplish, then make the calendar, inbox, vendors, projects and people around you move toward that outcome.

Rhythm

01

Own Your Calendar

Prioritize meetings, defend focus time, reschedule intelligently, and notice when a change breaks the original plan.

Email

02

Own Your Inbox

Sort noise, draft replies, chase follow-ups, and make sure important conversations actually get closed.

Onboarding

03

Own Travel & Logistics

Flights, hotels, reservations, changes, documents, and the annoying edge cases that normally land back on you.

Tasks

04

Drive Projects

Turn “we should do this someday” into a plan, owners, deadlines, follow-ups, and a finished result.

Ownership

05

Protect Your Attention

Intercept low-value work, surface what matters, and make it harder for everyone else’s priorities to become yours.

Detail

06

See Around Corners

Notice what else changed when the plan changed — without needing you to discover the problem first.

EA VS. VA

Do You Need An Executive Assistant Or A Virtual Assistant?

These roles get lumped together constantly. They are not the same hire.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

Execute The Task

  • Clear, repeatable administrative work
  • Usually works best from defined SOPs
  • Data entry, research, scheduling, simple follow-up
  • Lower cost and narrower responsibility

WHERE WE RECRUIT

We Start With The Role. Not A Country We Happen To Sell.

EUROPE

Eastern Europe

Strong professional talent, high ownership potential, and excellent overlap for European teams.

LATAM

Latin America

Natural US time-zone coverage and a large market for experienced operational and executive support talent.

AFRICA

South Africa

Excellent English and strong customer-facing talent with natural overlap into Europe and partial US hours.

QUESTIONS

Executive Assistant FAQs

Straight answers to what founders ask us before hiring an Executive Assistant.

What’s the difference between an Executive Assistant and a Virtual Assistant?

An EA is expected to anticipate, prioritize and operate inside ambiguity. A VA is usually a better fit for repeatable administrative tasks with clearer instructions.

Executive Assistant or Personal Assistant?

An Executive Assistant supports your work: meetings, projects, stakeholders and business admin. A Personal Assistant focuses on you: your calendar, travel, bookings and personal admin.

How quickly can HireUA present candidates?

Our goal is to present qualified candidates within five days for roles we know well, including Executive Assistants.

Can my EA work my time zone?

Yes. Time-zone overlap is part of the candidate profile. We do not recommend forcing a market that does not naturally fit the schedule you need.

What if I’m not sure whether I need an EA, VA, or Operations Manager?

That is exactly what the discovery call is for. Start with the work that needs to get off your plate, then define the seat.
