Hire a Personal Assistant

Hiring a Personal Assistant through Bain and Gray gives you immediate access to an exceptional reach of the very best PA talent in the London market.

PAs remain closely networked with Bain and Gray whether or not they are actively seeking work, so we are able to approach them with new opportunities that they may not necessarily have considered or searched for. Our approach is high level, consultative and emotionally intelligent, built on years of trust and partnerships that elevate us from our competitors.

How We Help You Hire Personal Assistant

After an initial call with one of our experienced team, we will organise a meeting with you to take a full brief of your PA requirements. We strongly suggest a face to face meeting at your office or place of work, so we gain a full and detailed understanding of the role. The environment and the team dynamics help us build a full picture of your business, enabling a slick and exacting search, while saving you time and giving you exactly what you need. We are also able to advise on salary benchmarking and market conditions, so you can offer an informed and competitive package to attract and secure the level of PA you require.

Our PA’s are all interviewed face to face by our consultants so we gain a deep understanding of their work history, experience and capability. Our consultants are trained to give competency based interviews and skills tests when needed so that we make sure that you meet PAs that fit with your brief. We continually work to maintain a broad and diverse network which reaches the very best PA talent and ensures we conduct our search as trusted allies to both our clients and candidates.

What makes us exceptional in PA recruitment?

Bain and Gray has built a reputation over many years as the leading recruiter for the best PA and EA support in the London market.

This is because we create long term partnerships with our PAs and our clients through our exceptional skills at selecting long lasting introductions that work seamlessly on both sides. We have gained years of knowledge and trust with our PA network, so we have a full understanding of the individuals and companies they are best suited to. We understand that a skilful, professional and trusted PA is invaluable, and is often the lynch pin in their boss’s business logistics as well as relationships.

Our consultants are all experienced, some over many years in the PA support market, and our continual investment in their growth and development as well as their market knowledge means we never stand still.

We are now proudly an Employee Owned Trust, which means the business is effectively owned by the employees. This gives everyone in our team a long term investment emotionally as well as commercially in the ongoing future success of Bain and Gray.
