Inside Knowledge: The Advantage of an EA Recruiter with Hands-On Experience

In the world of executive and personal assistant recruitment, there's a critical element that many overlook: the perspective of someone who has actually done the job. At Mils Recruitment, founder Georgia Mills brings eight years of experience working as an assistant to C-suite executives and entrepreneurs. This insider knowledge transforms how she matches candidates to your needs in ways that traditional recruiters simply cannot replicate.

"When I sit across from a candidate, I'm not just looking at their CV," says Georgia. "Having sat in their chair for nearly a decade, I understand the unspoken challenges of the role. I can recognise the difference between someone who can manage a calendar and someone who can anticipate needs before they arise. I identify candidates who possess that rare combination of technical proficiency, emotional intelligence, and adaptability that makes an exceptional assistant."

The interview process itself is transformed when conducted by someone who has navigated the complex relationships between executives and their support staff. Georgia doesn't just ask about skills and experience—she evaluates candidates' problem-solving approaches, discretion, and communication styles through the lens of real-world scenarios she herself has encountered.

This expertise means Mils Recruitment doesn't just find you a qualified candidate; Georgia finds you the right match for your specific working style, business needs, and company culture. She sees beyond the resume to identify the subtle qualities that will make your working relationship not just functional but truly exceptional.
