Luxury or Necessity: The Executive Assistant Hire Dilemma for Executives
Are you a high-achieving executive?
High-achieving executives thrive when surrounded by a team that diligently comprehends the vision, embodies a spirit of possibility, and remains unwavering in its pursuit of excellence.
At Exceptional Admins, we help you distinguish your top-tier administrative match and work diligently to find the professional.
Don’t go it alone! Studies estimate that on average, the cost of losing an employee ranges from six to nine months’ worth of that person’s compensation. For technical and executive positions it can be as high as twice the employee’s annual salary. Source
