Why Maffei-RC is a Better Choice

Having spent 2 decades working my way up from Assistant to EA to Director of Executive Operations and Administration - I understand what each role should look like and what companies need in their support roles.

Spending time with the Executive to understand:

  • WHAT they need and want in the support role

  • HOW to achieve that in a sustainable way - one size does NOT fit all. You need an Assistant that can work in your style and complement you and your organization

  • WHO is the right candidate to fill that role? Are you hiring for the right role/title/etc.?

  • ENSURE that you are looking for the correct support. Advertising for an EA role when you need a Chief of Staff or you need an Office Manager only results in frustration for both you and your candidates

In-house vs Retained Search Specialist

In-house Recruiting

I cannot tell you how many times I have interviewed for an Executive support role and the in-house recruiters had no idea…

  1. What the role actually was and what it does

  2. The right questions to ask to narrow it down to the right candidates

  3. How the role works within the org and how it benefits - again, not finding the right candidates

  4. Flooded with other, specialized roles they need to fill in the org. Ie: Product and Engineering, Finance, Marketing, IT, etc.

Retained Search Specialist

  1. Know what the role is

  2. How it should function in the org

  3. How to maximize the executive’s time and hire the candidate that can make that happen and add value

  4. Sole focused - Executive Support Roles is all Maffei Recruiting and Consulting does!

  5. Coaching options for Executives and/or their assistants to ensure onboarding is successful both for the Executive and the team that will see the results
