We help you outsource executive assistants from regions with the best cost-to-skill ratio.
Executive assistants maintain calendars to reflect executive priorities, not just their availability. Conflicts are resolved, time is protected, and scheduling decisions are handled without requiring the executive to weigh in on each one.
Briefings, agendas, and background materials are assembled before each interaction. Executives arrive with full context, and next steps are documented and assigned to the right owner before the meeting closes.
Incoming communication is monitored, triaged, and responded to in the executive's voice across every channel. No thread is left open, and no stakeholder waits without a response that reflects the executive's priorities.
Work that spans multiple stakeholders, departments, or external partners is monitored for progress at every stage. Gaps in ownership are identified and closed before they create delays or affect outcomes for the executive.
Executive assistants routinely handle confidential decisions, personnel matters, and strategic context. They manage what is communicated, to whom, and when, applying judgment built through direct proximity to leadership.
Scheduling should never be the executive's responsibility. When it is, time meant for decisions and relationships is lost to meeting requests and calendar conflicts. Outsourcing transfers calendar ownership completely.
Unanswered emails and missed follow-ups signal that communication has no owner. Threads go cold and stakeholders wait. An outsourced executive assistant closes every thread without executive involvement.
A U.S.-based executive assistant costs $60K to $90K annually before benefits. Global outsourcing delivers the same standard of support at a fraction of that cost and without fixed domestic overhead.
Expanding scope increases relationships, coordination, and communication. 1840 has placed executive assistants during leadership transitions, with support in place before the demands of the new role take effect.
Local hiring often faces a shortage of candidates with executive support experience. Global hiring expands access to assistants already managing calendars, communication, and follow-ups.
Global hiring lowers the cost of executive support without changing daily execution. This keeps scheduling, communication, and coordination in place without increasing overhead.
Global executive assistants keep requests, approvals, and follow-ups moving across time zones. Leadership receives responses the same day, reducing delays that slow execution and decisions.
Fast, precise executive assistant hiring restores operational flow quickly. Prevent missed follow-ups, decision delays, and executive bandwidth drain before they impact the business.
