Head of HR, Global Law Firm
I've worked with many recruiters over the years and can't speak highly enough of Jane Kelly and the team at Love Success recruitment agency. They found me a brilliant PA who has been a huge support.
Director, Software and Consulting Firm
I've had the pleasure of working with Love Success (namely Ciara and Jo) on multiple occasions from both a candidate and hiring experience and have nothing but great things to say about them.
The level of support and communication from the team was without fault, and they partnered diligently to place two hires with quick turnaround which is always appreciated! I wouldn't hesitate to partner with them on recruitment again should we require support.

Frequently Asked Questions about EA/PA Recruitment
What is the difference between a Personal Assistant (PA) and an Executive Assistant (EA)?
While the job titles PA and EA are often used interchangeably, there are some typical differences. A Personal Assistant may support a business owner, leader or household across both business and personal tasks, perhaps including errands, travel bookings and diary management. An Executive Assistant typically supports a senior executive and often takes on higher-level responsibilities such as meeting coordination, stakeholder liaison, project oversight and acting as gatekeeper. At Love Success we match both types depending on your requirement.
How do I know if I need a PA or an EA?
Ask yourself: Do you need someone to support day-to-day tasks and ease administrative burden (PA)? Or do you need someone who will act as your right-hand for business strategy, stakeholder management and high-level support (EA)? We can help you clarify your requirement, define job spec and find the right match.
Do you recruit permanent, contract and temporary PA/EA staff?
Yes. We offer flexible recruitment for permanent roles (full-time or part-time), fixed-term contracts and temporary/cover assignments. Whether you need someone long-term or on short notice (even from a few days/weeks), or hybrid we can help.
What kind of sectors or clients do you support for PA/EA recruitment?
We recruit PAs and EAs across sectors including professional services, financial services, tech scale-ups, private households, founder-led businesses and not-for-profit. Whether you’re a business leader, high-net-worth individual or household employer, we can tailor our service to your needs.
What makes a great EA/PA?
An outstanding EA/PA today is digitally savvy, able to manage hybrid working, confident with stakeholder communication, proactive, flexible and business-minded. They anticipate needs, manage multiple priorities and act as a trusted partner to their executive or leader.
How long does it take to hire a PA/EA through Love Success?
It depends on your brief, seniority and availability. For many assignments we can present shortlisted candidates within a few days. For permanent roles or highly specialised EAs, it may take longer to ensure quality and fit. We'll establish timelines at the outset and work to meet your recruitment goals.
How much should I budget for hiring an Executive Assistant or Personal Assistant?
Salary depends on location (London vs UK), seniority, specialism (household PA vs corporate EA) and scope of the role. We'll provide market-benchmarked guidance and work with you to define the right package to attract the calibre you need.
Can you help with defining the job description and candidate specification?
Yes. We offer consultancy as part of our service: we'll work with you to understand your needs, job scope, key competencies and organisational fit. We'll draft or review the job description and help you refine your candidate criteria.
What is the vetting process for candidates?
Our PA/EA candidates are thoroughly screened with in-depth interviews, reference checks for temp hires, employment history verification and suitability for your specific role (business or household). We ensure the highest trust, confidentiality and professionalism.
What happens if the candidate doesn't work out?
We provide a guarantee period (please check our terms) and we'll work with you to replace the candidate if needed. We stay engaged post-placement to ensure the fit and success of the assignment.
