Hire Your Perfect Executive Assistant (Without the Hiring Nightmare)
We find them, vet them, and hand them off ready to join your team—with optional training and support packages available.
Hiring an EA. Shouldn't Feel Like a Part-Time Job
You know you need help. But:
You’ve posted job listings and gotten 200+ unqualified resumes. You’ve spent hours interviewing candidates who looked great on paper—then flaked. You hired someone who needed constant training and still didn’t “get it.”
Here’s the truth:
Hiring an Executive Assistant is a skillset most CEO parents don’t have. You’re amazing at running your business—but recruitment, vetting, and training? That’s a completely different game.
Every bad hire costs you time, money, and sanity.
What if someone who actually knows how to find and vet top-tier EAs did it FOR you?
That’s what our Direct-to-Hire Recruitment does.
We Do the Heavy Lifting. You Get the Perfect EA.
- WE FIND THEM — Source candidates from our vetted network + strategic outreach (not random job boards)
- WE VET THEM — Rigorous screening: skills testing, personality assessment, interviews, reference checks
- WE HAND THEM OFF — You get a pre-vetted, qualified EA ready to join your team
- YOU EMPLOY & ONBOARD THEM — They work directly for you on your payroll, with your tools, embedded in your business
- WANT TRAINING SUPPORT? — Add our 90-Day Onboarding Plan for full ROAD Method training, implementation support, and extended guarantee
We’re your strategic recruitment partner who finds and vets your perfect EA—then hands them off ready to join your team.
You get the EA. We handle the hiring nightmare.
Is Direct-to-Hire Recruitment Right for You?
This IS for you if:
- You’re ready to hire an EA directly onto your team
- You have bandwidth to manage and onboard an employee
- You want control over your EA’s schedule and employment
- You have basic systems in place to train them on
This is NOT for you if:
- You don’t want to manage or onboard an employee
- You need someone to “figure it all out” without systems (start with our Systems Sprint first)
- You want us to handle ongoing training and coverage (that’s our Managed EA Partnership)

Why Our EA Matches
Actually Work.
- SKILLS — Technical proficiency, systems thinking, tool mastery, communication quality
- PERSONALITY — Proactive or reactive? Detail-oriented or big-picture? Strategic or task-focused?
- VALUES — Do they understand family-first entrepreneurship? Will they respect your boundaries?
- BUSINESS ACUMEN — Can they think strategically? Do they optimize, not just execute?
- CULTURAL FIT — Will they mesh with YOUR working style, communication preferences, and business values?
Most agencies stop at skills. We go 10 layers deeper.
Because a resume doesn’t tell you if someone will actually WORK in your business.

- PLUS You pay your EA’s salary directly:
Market rate for US-based EAs: $28-$40/hour depending on experience and location - Total first-year investment:
$3,500-$6,000 (recruitment) + $58K-$73K (EA salary) = $62K-$79K annually - Why this is worth it:
If you’re earning $150K+ and spending 10 hours/week on admin, you’re losing $75K+/year in opportunity cost. This investment pays for itself in 3-6 months. - Payment options:
Pay in full | 50% upfront | 50% at selection | Payment plans available
Your Protection Against Bad Hires
If your EA doesn’t work out—we’ll replace them at no additional cost.
Standard guarantee: 30 days (included with $3,500 recruitment)
Extended guarantee: 90 days (included with $6,000 recruitment + onboarding package)
What this covers:
- EA quits or is terminated
- Performance doesn’t meet expectations
- Cultural fit isn’t right
- You realize you need someone with different skills
You’re not taking the full risk of a hiring mistake. We stand behind our matches.
Our track record: 95%+ of our placements succeed past the first year. We match carefully because we want long-term success, not quick placements.
Questions CEO Parents Ask Before Partnering
What's the difference between this and your Managed EA Partnership?
Direct-to-hire = you employ them, onboard them, manage them (we find and vet them). Managed EA = they work with our team, we manage them, you direct the work.
Do I have to pay for the onboarding add-on?
No. The base $3,500 package gets you a vetted EA ready to join your team. The $6,000 package adds training and extended support if you want help with onboarding.
What if I've never managed an EA before?
We recommend the 90-Day Onboarding Plan. We’ll train your EA in the ROAD Method and provide management frameworks and support for 90 days.
How do you find candidates?
Our vetted network (EAs we’ve trained before), strategic outreach, and selective job postings. We’re NOT pulling random resumes from Indeed.
Are all candidates US-based?
Yes. We believe in aligned time zones, cultural context, and seamless communication.
What if the EA isn't the right fit?
That’s why we have replacement guarantees: 30 days standard, 90 days with onboarding package.
What if I don't have systems in place yet?
Then you’re not ready to hire. Start with our Systems & Operations Sprint first—hiring into chaos doesn’t work.
