Launch Connection

Hiring an executive assistant is different — here’s how you can do it right.

This isn’t just another hire. It’s a strategic partner.

You know how to hire within your industry. But hiring an executive assistant is different. You’re not just filling a role — you’re choosing someone who will have a meaningful impact on your time, your priorities, and your day-to-day leadership. And when the fit is off, it affects everything.

The personality traits and characteristics that make someone great in a support role don’t always show up on a resume. You have to know how to spot them. Launch Connection is designed to help you identify the traits, soft skills, and relational dynamics that actually make the executive–assistant partnership work.

Built from 15+ years of finding, hiring, training, and coaching support roles, Launch Connection’s comprehensive executive assistant hiring guide walks you through every step of the process — from defining your needs to evaluating candidates to making a confident hire. It’s everything we’ve learned from hundreds of successful placements, now available as a self-paced guide designed for leaders who want to do it right the first time.
