At a glance

What they own every week

• calendar, meeting and inbox coordination
• preparing agendas, notes and action summaries

• keeping task lists and decision logs current

The practical value is steady execution: visible work, fewer loose ends, clearer handoffs and better information for the manager who owns the decision.

What we screen for

Every placement goes through a background check and medical check, without exception. We also screen for the role-specific skills below. If a client wants practical testing for this role, we run the specialised test the client requests and use it as part of the shortlist process. We screen for written communication, calendar discipline, confidentiality, judgement, follow-up rhythm, document organisation and comfort working close to a busy owner or executive.

How onboarding works

Onboarding starts with a role brief: tools, working hours, examples of good output, review cadence, permissions and escalation rules. SkilledCreatives shortlists candidates, you interview the people you like, and the selected person starts as your dedicated full-time teammate. The first week should stay narrow and measurable before the scope expands.

Replacement / mis-hire policy

If the placement does not work out, we replace the person free, for as long as it takes, until the client is happy. There is no replacement window and no replacement limit. Headhunting and sourcing for the replacement are included, so there is no new search fee. There is also no fee while nobody is working: if a placement ends mid-month, we refund the unused days pro-rata. For example, if the client has paid for July and the person leaves on 15 July, we refund 16-31 July. This is not more risk than an internal hire, and it is a more generous replacement policy than any headhunter offers.

Who this suits, and who it does not suit

This suits leaders who know what should be delegated and will give the assistant access, context and review time. It does not suit an executive who wants mind-reading with no process, priorities or communication rules.
