Still Deciding Whether to Partner with a Specialist PA Recruitment Agency?

Here’s What to Consider:

Specialist vs. Generalist Agencies:

Some recruitment firms offer a wide range of services, while others focus exclusively on business support roles, such as Personal Assistants. Specialist agencies often bring deeper expertise, niche insight, and a more tailored approach that broader agencies may not provide.

Location Matters:

Choosing an agency with a strong local presence is key. For example, PA recruitment agencies based in London typically have a sharper understanding of market dynamics, salary benchmarks, and candidate expectations in the area, critical for both clients and candidates.

Industry Focus

Certain agencies may concentrate on specific sectors. If your business operates in a niche industry, consider a recruitment partner that understands the nuances of your field and can source candidates with relevant experience.

Recruitment Approach

Take time to understand how the agency screens and selects candidates. Do their recruitment consultants take the time to understand your business and act as a true extension of your brand – advocating for you during the interview process and representing your company with professionalism?

Temporary vs. Permanent Placements

When hiring a PA, be clear on whether you need someone on a temporary, permanent, or temp-to-perm basis. The latter can be a smart solution to cover immediate needs while assessing long-term suitability.

How Our PA Recruitment Process Works

We offer a meticulous approach to ensure seamless PA recruitment in London.

1. Initial Consultation

We start with a comprehensive discussion to understand your PA recruitment needs. Whether you require a Private PA or an industry-specific candidate, we refine your hiring criteria for the best fit.

3. Interviewing Potential PAs

Each application is rigorously assessed to ensure they possess the right skills and cultural fit. Our recruitment specialists conduct preliminary interviews, focusing on both technical competencies and interpersonal strengths.

2. Candidate Search

Using our extensive database and market expertise, we identify and shortlist top-tier Personal Assistants who match your requirements. We leverage both active searches and our pre-vetted talent pool to present the most qualified candidates.

4. Final Shortlist and Placement

Once the ideal PA is identified, we manage negotiations, secure candidate acceptance, and assist with ensuring a seamless onboarding experience.

ISE Partners Testimonials

  • I had a really positive experience with ISE Partners. From the start, they listened carefully to what I was looking for and tailored the process to suit my needs — it felt very personal and thoughtful. Susannah was knowledgeable, dedicated, and supportive throughout. The whole team worked collaboratively to recommend roles that were a great fit. They were responsive, helpful, and had access to a wide range of fantastic opportunities at top companies. Thanks to their support, I was able to build confidence with every interview — even when I didn’t get the role, it was still amazing practice and helped me feel more prepared for the next one. I’m very grateful to the team and would definitely recommend them.
