Hiring a personal assistant can seem simple at first glance. However, finding someone who is proactive, discreet, highly organised, and genuinely aligned with your lifestyle is something else entirely.

This is where working with a specialised personal assistant recruitment agency makes all the difference.

At Squad Placements, we support individuals, families, and private offices who expect more than basic administrative help. They are looking for a trusted right hand—someone who can anticipate needs, manage complexity, and bring structure to their day-to-day life.

Why Hiring a Personal Assistant Is a Strategic Decision

A great personal assistant does far more than manage a calendar.

In reality, the right PA becomes a central figure in your daily operations—streamlining communication, managing logistics, and creating a sense of calm and control.

For high-performing individuals and families, hiring a personal assistant often leads to:

• More time to focus on high-value priorities

• Reduced mental load and decision fatigue

• Smoother day-to-day operations

• Better coordination between personal and professional life

As a result, a strong PA is not a cost—it is a high-impact investment.

Why Work With a Personal Assistant Recruitment Agency?

While it is possible to hire independently, the process is often time-consuming, inconsistent, and risky—particularly when discretion is essential.

Working with a personal assistant recruitment agency ensures:

• Access to pre-vetted, high-calibre candidates

• A curated shortlist aligned with your exact needs

• Candidates with experience in private households and family offices

• A confidential and structured hiring process

• Professional guidance throughout the search

Importantly, top-tier personal assistants are rarely actively applying to job ads. They are typically placed through trusted networks and specialised agencies.

Our Approach to Personal Assistant Recruitment

At Squad, we take a highly consultative and hands-on approach.

In other words, we don’t simply send CVs—we build a deep understanding of how you live and work.

This includes:

• Your lifestyle, schedule, and priorities

• The level of support required (personal, business, or both)

• Your existing team structure

• Your communication style and expectations

• Short-term needs and long-term vision

Based on this, we present a carefully curated selection of candidates who are not only qualified, but genuinely aligned.

Types of Personal Assistants We Place

We support a wide range of personal assistant placements globally, including:

• Private Personal Assistants for individuals and families

• Executive Assistants supporting both business and personal matters

• Family Office Personal Assistants

• Travelling PAs for international lifestyles

• Hybrid EA/PA roles

• Temporary and project-based support

Each placement is tailored to the client’s specific lifestyle and operational needs.

Discretion, Trust & Long-Term Fit

Inviting a personal assistant into your life requires a high level of trust.

Therefore, discretion, professionalism, and emotional intelligence are non-negotiable.

Our candidates are:

• Experienced in high-pressure, high-standard environments

• Discreet and accustomed to confidentiality

• Highly organised, proactive, and solutions-driven

• Selected for both competence and cultural fit

Ultimately, the right personal assistant becomes an extension of you.
