Hiring an EA from LinkedHelpers: A Step-by-Step Guide

With tasks piling up, finding time to focus on crucial business decisions can be challenging. At LinkedHelpers, we offer a lifeline for your business – Executive Assistants. You’re now interested in getting an EA, but where should you start?

Step 1: Free Consultation

Once you book through our Calendly Schedule, you’ll have the opportunity to discuss your business, challenges, expectations, and the specific tasks you’d like your EA to handle.

The free consultation is your chance to:

  • Share your goals and objectives,
  • Define the scope of work you need assistance with.
  • Clarify your expectations and preferences, and
  • Discuss your budget and timeline.
Step 2: Getting Started: Meeting Your Personal Assistant

After your consultation, LinkedHelpers will match you with an EA who meets your business needs and schedule a meeting with you and your designated EA.

During this meeting, you can:

  • Introduce yourself and your business.
  • Discuss your detailed goals and expectations.
  • Share the tasks you’d like your assistant to manage.
  • Address any questions or concerns your assistant may have.
Step 3: Streamlining Your Tasks

With your EA in place, it’s time to streamline the tasks and keep the business running. Here’s what will happen.

Task Delegation. Delegate specific tasks to your EA, whether managing your emails, scheduling appointments, conducting research, or handling administrative duties. Clear instructions and regular check-ins can ensure tasks are completed to your satisfaction.

Establish a Workflow. You or your Executive Assistant will streamline a workflow to work together seamlessly. 

Regular Communication. A Slack group chat will be created for your business. Maintain open lines of communication with your EA. Regular updates and feedback will help you stay on the same page and make necessary adjustments. 

Monitor Progress. Keep track of the tasks your EA is handling and review the results. At LinkedHelpers, we recommend having a weekly meeting with your EA to ensure that your expectations are met and that you can address any issues promptly. At the end of every meeting, a recap will be sent to your mail where your EA’s Manager and CEO are copied to ensure job efficiency.

Scale as Needed. As you become more comfortable with your EA and see the benefits of the partnership, consider expanding your responsibilities to free up even more of your time.

Hiring an Executive Assistant from LinkedHelpers is a transformative step toward enhanced productivity and work-life balance.

The free consultation, meeting your assistant, and streamlining your tasks are the key steps to get you started on this journey. With your EA taking care of time-consuming tasks, you can focus on your core strengths and move closer to your personal and professional goals. It’s time to seize the opportunity, unlock your potential, and experience the benefits of having a dedicated assistant at your side.
