What this role handles for your team

This role is staffed for founders, executives and practice owners whose personal life gets squeezed out by the business, rather than a general consumer errand service.

Three steps

Hire a Personal assistant in 3 steps

From your first brief to a Personal assistant working in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365, you stay with one recruiter from scope through start.

Scope the Personal assistant role

Tell us the work to own, from personal assistant travel and scheduling to communication and admin, plus the systems, coverage hours, and outcomes that matter. We turn that into a focused search brief.

Review vetted Personal assistant candidates

We screen candidates for personal assistant travel and scheduling, communication and admin, and practical fluency in Google Workspace and Microsoft 365. You review a shortlist with relevant context.

Hire and onboard your Personal assistant

Choose your candidate and hiring model. We coordinate the handoff into your tools, operating process, and first-week priorities.

What changes for your team

Best for founders and executives who need personal logistics handled without losing focus at work.

Hours back in your week

Travel booking, scheduling and errands get handled off your plate, instead of squeezed into whatever time is left after work.

Fewer personal tasks falling through the cracks

One dedicated assistant tracks what needs attention and when, instead of relying on you to remember everything yourself.

Smoother travel logistics

Trips get booked and managed across time zones, so you are not the one untangling a missed connection mid-flight.

Lower cost than a local personal assistant

Global talent starts at $12 an hour, all-inclusive, well under the cost of a locally hired personal assistant.

More focus time for the business

Personal admin stops eating into the hours you should be spending on the business, since someone else already owns it.

Why teams choose HireHawk for this role

Built for founders already stretched between the business and everything else

Not a shared pool split across other clients. Your assistant learns your routines, your preferences and your people, the same way your business hires already have.

Vetted before you meet them

5-Stage Vetting with AI-assisted screening. Fewer than 1% of applicants are presented to clients.

Bilingual where it matters

Bilingual English and Spanish talent from Latin America.

Two ways to hire

Fully managed global talent from $12 an hour, or US direct hire from 12.5% of first-year salary. Compare the two on our [staffing solutions page](/solutions/).

Siobhan Manager of Outbound Global Transportation

"It was very easy working with HireHawk, from looking for viable candidates, the interview process, all the way to implementation of your hire, they handle it all. We are also very happy with our hire. Very easy and seamless process."

Work Injury Law Group Legal services

"HireHawk filled two senior roles in under two weeks. The candidates were sharper than anything our in-house recruiter surfaced in months."

August Consumer brand

"Her scope grew within months and our leadership asked to meet her in person. We came back to HireHawk to expand the rest of the team."

Anthony Director of Operations

"When our workflow broke down she built a tracking system to stop it happening again, without being asked."

Mikayel Revenue Cycle Manager

One partner, wherever your next hire lives.

The right model depends on the seat, not the company. Some roles need someone in the building; the rest do not, and cost far less remotely.

We work with companies backed by the world’s best investors.

Staffing agency HireHawk

HireHawk is a staffing agency for growing US companies with industry-specialized recruiters. This is one of the seats we fill most: we recruit for it, run 5-Stage Vetting, and either employ the hire on global talent or place them directly on your payroll.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about hiring for this role

How is this different from an executive assistant?

Your executive assistant supports the business side of your life: calendar, correspondence and meetings at work. Your personal assistant instead covers everything outside of it: travel, household admin and personal errands that eat into your week. Many founders and executives end up staffing both once things get busy enough.

Can they book travel across time zones?

Yes. Tell us your typical travel patterns and time zone needs on the discovery call, whether that's frequent international trips or mostly domestic hops, and we match you with an assistant who already knows how to book smart connections and handle the logistics without waking you up at 3 a.m.

What tools do they work in?

Your assistant already works in Google Workspace, Microsoft 365 and most standard scheduling and travel booking tools, so coordinating your calendar does not require new software on your end. Name your actual setup on the discovery call, and we match you with someone who already knows it well.

How fast can a personal assistant start?

You'll see vetted candidates within 10 business days of your discovery call, so you're not waiting weeks to start interviewing. Once you've made your pick, onboarding takes 21 days, whether the hire joins your payroll directly or comes on as a fully managed global hire through HireHawk.

What if the assistant is not the right fit?

You're covered either way. If you go with global talent, you get 100% performance replacement at no extra cost. If you choose US direct hire, you're backed by a 60-day replacement guarantee, so a bad fit doesn't turn into a bad quarter for your business.

How do I hand work over to a personal assistant?

Start with the recurring work: calendar, travel, inbox rules, errands, and the decisions that need your approval. A short walkthrough of the real workflow is more useful than a perfect manual; the assistant can document the process as they take it over.
