Why Should You Hire a Administrative Assistant with Penbrothers

Overview of the Role

Your Administrative Assistant keeps operations running smoothly behind the scenes. They organize schedules, manage communications, and keep records up to date. They also handle the daily details that keep your team focused. Preparing reports, coordinating meetings, and tracking tasks. Not just support staff. Operational linchpins.

Candidate Skillset

They know office management tools like Google Workspace, Microsoft Office, and project management software inside and out. The technical foundation is solid. But here’s what sets them apart: they are organized, proactive, and able to anticipate needs before they arise. They excel at streamlining workflows, keeping teams on track, and handling logistics with precision. They have experience in fast-paced environments where efficiency and multitasking are key.

How We Vet Administrative Assistant Candidates

We don’t just verify office experience and skills. Every Administrative Assistant candidate completes real administrative tasks that demonstrate their ability to manage multiple priorities while providing exceptional organizational support.
Every candidate typically goes through validated skills assessments powered by TestGorilla:

  • Microsoft Excel (Intermediate): Evaluates spreadsheet management and data organization capabilities;
  • Virtual Assistant: Tests remote work skills and digital communication proficiency;
  • Attention to Detail (Textual): Measures accuracy in document preparation and data management;
  • Communication: Assesses professional correspondence and client interaction skills.

Have specific assessment requirements?
We seamlessly integrate your custom tests, software-specific evaluations, or administrative simulations into our vetting process. Whether using our standard assessments or your specialized requirements, only candidates who demonstrate genuine expertise make it through our evaluation.

Ways They'll Collaborate with and Make an Impact on Your Team

Your Administrative Assistant becomes the glue that holds your day-to-day operations together. Teams need schedules that sync. Managers need reports on time. Executives need support that anticipates, not just reacts. They understand how admin work fuels focus and flow. They’ll work with your team to keep things running on time, every time.
