A few good questions.
How quickly can I hire a remote EA?
RealHires delivers a shortlist of 3–5 pre-vetted executive assistants in 3 business days. Most clients hire within 5–7 days of kickoff.
What time zones are available?
We source from Latin America, Europe, Africa, and Southeast Asia, so we can match an EA to your working hours or extend your day into a second shift.
What if the EA doesn't work out?
Every RealHires placement carries a lifetime replacement guarantee. If the fit isn't right, we source and place a replacement at no additional cost.
How do you vet EA candidates?
Every EA passes communication testing, scenario-based prioritization, two executive reference calls, and a reliability review before we present them.
What does a remote EA cost vs. local?
A local US EA costs $65K–$95K/year plus benefits. A RealHires remote EA costs $2,500–$4,500/month all-in — roughly 40–60% less with no recruiting fees.
