Direct-to-Hire EA Recruitment
Done-with-you hiring for founders who are out of hours. We source, vet, and hand off the right executive assistant, matched to how you actually work, so help finally takes work off your plate instead of adding to it.
Book an EA strategy call→How it works
No job boards, no sorting through fifty applicants at 11pm. We take the guesswork out of hiring.
We name the role, the hours, the budget and the country before anyone is sourced.
We go to our vetted network of exceptional operators, matched to what the Blueprint named.
Spoken English, judgment, references and background. You meet a shortlist, not a pile.
Optional. Onboarding built with you, and structured reviews at 30, 60 and 90 days.
What your EA will handle
Inbox and calendar, scheduling, travel, and the daily details that eat your focus.
Systems, SOPs, project management, and the follow-through that keeps things moving.
Scheduling, repurposing, and the publishing rhythm you never have time to keep.
A right hand who anticipates the need before you have to ask, not just a task-taker.
Two ways to hire
United States
$64,456
average salary, per year
In your time zone, in your culture, on your payroll or through a contract you already know how to write.
Latin America
$19,200
typical cost, per year
Fluent in English and working your hours. The savings are real, and so is the legal work that comes with hiring across a border.
Neither one is automatically right for you. That is what the Blueprint is for.
How we work together
Three steps, priced separately, so you are never paying for a stage you do not need.
Start here
Before we source anyone, we work out what you actually need. What comes off your plate first. Whether the role is an assistant, an operations hire, or something you should stop doing altogether. Whether the US or Latin America fits your work, your hours and your budget. And how to engage the person legally, which is the part most founders get wrong.
Sometimes the Blueprint says do not hire anyone yet. That happens, and you still leave with the plan.

$997
Credited in full toward your placement fee once the call is complete.
Then
We source, screen, interview for spoken English and judgment, check references and background, and hand you the person. You hire them directly. You pay them directly. We take nothing ongoing.
A search typically runs five to eight weeks. We do not keep a bench, because a bench sells you whoever is sitting on it.
Less your $997 Blueprint credit. $2,503 due at placement.
Less your $997 Blueprint credit. $1,003 due at placement.
One time. Ninety-day replacement guarantee.
Optional
Most placements do not fail at hiring. They fail in the first ninety days, when nobody said out loud what “urgent” means.
We build the onboarding plan with you, run structured reviews at 30, 60 and 90 days with the agendas prepared, and stay available through the first quarter. It also extends your replacement guarantee from 90 days to 180.
One time. Standalone includes the discovery a placement already covers.
The part nobody itemizes
You pay once, for the search and the system around it. Then we are done taking your money.
What you budget for your assistant is what your assistant is paid. All of it.
They are your hire from day one. There is nothing to convert and nothing to buy out later.
Ask an agency what percentage of what you pay actually reaches the person doing the work.Most will not tell you. We will, because you are the one paying them. See the arithmetic from inside the model.
Questions we get
Because I used to run one. We are paid once, for the search and the system. An agency is paid every month, for access to your assistant.
Only one of those has a reason to stay between you and the person who works for you.
Ninety-day replacement guarantee as standard, or 180 days with the onboarding package.
The Blueprint covers it before anyone is hired: contractor versus employer of record, what each costs, and where the classification risks sit.
We give you the information and tell you plainly to take your own local counsel. We are not attorneys.
Based in Columbia, SC, placing assistants across the US and Latin America.
