A thorough search
Companies have long recognised the necessity of conducting a thorough search and assessment when hiring executives. Here at Osander, we believe that the same principles should also be applied when hiring executive assistants.
We understand that the performance of an executive, as well as the success of their company, relies on finding assistants of the highest calibre talent and with the right personality, who both match and complement an executive’s role and style.
