Executive Assistant & Business Support recruitment.

We specialise in recruiting exceptional Executive Assistants for founders, CEOs, entrepreneurs and senior leaders across London. We understand that the best EAs do far more than manage diaries and travel. We look for people with judgement, discretion, initiative and the ability to stay one step ahead in demanding, fast-moving environments.

At this level, experience and judgement matter. We recruit Senior EAs accustomed to complex schedules, international travel, board and investor meetings, senior stakeholders and confidential matters. Many become a trusted right hand to the executive they support, so personality and working style are just as important as experience.

Founder and CEO support is an area we know particularly well. These roles often extend beyond traditional EA responsibilities, particularly within entrepreneurial and growing businesses. We look for EAs and Business Assistants who anticipate, problem-solve, create structure and are comfortable working with autonomy alongside busy and sometimes demanding principals.

We recruit accomplished assistants to CEOs, CFOs, COOs and other C-suite executives. These appointments require confidence, discretion and sound judgement, whether managing complex diaries and international travel, coordinating board meetings or building relationships with senior stakeholders across the business and externally.

Business Assistant roles can combine executive support with projects, research, operations and wider business coordination. We look for commercially aware, adaptable candidates who enjoy a broad remit and can move confidently between priorities as the needs of an executive or business change.

Our PA recruitment covers both business-focused appointments and roles combining business and personal support. Every brief is different, so we take the time to understand the individual, how they work and where they genuinely need support before identifying candidates with the right experience and personality.

A strong Team Assistant can transform how a busy team operates. We recruit from entry level through to experienced team support professionals, particularly across investment, financial services and professional environments, covering diaries, meetings, travel, expenses, events and wider administration.

Great Office Managers see what needs doing and take ownership of it. We recruit for start-ups, growing businesses and established London offices, with roles covering facilities, suppliers, onboarding, events, budgets and day-to-day office operations, often alongside broader EA or operational responsibilities.

Private PA and Family Office recruitment has long been a specialist area for Leaman Consulting. We work with Family Offices, entrepreneurs and HNW and UHNW individuals in the UK and internationally, recruiting experienced professionals across private and executive support.

Briefs can include diaries and international travel, properties, household staff, family logistics and lifestyle management. Discretion, judgement, flexibility and, above all, trust are essential.

Our HR recruitment spans HR Assistants and Coordinators through to HR Advisors, Employee Relations specialists, HR Business Partners and senior HR appointments.

We recruit across generalist HR, ER, People Operations, change and projects for both growing businesses and established organisations, always looking beyond technical experience to communication style, judgement and cultural fit.

Operations and Business Support roles rarely fit neatly into one box. We recruit across administration, projects, systems, suppliers and internal operations, particularly for entrepreneurial and founder-led businesses where people need to be adaptable, hands-on and comfortable taking ownership.

We recruit experienced professionals into broader senior business support, office leadership and operations roles. These appointments can combine projects, administration, operations, executive support and team management. We focus on what the business needs the person to achieve rather than trying to force a broad role into a standard job title.
