Executive assistant against a US hireMid

Questions about this role
Do they get access to my inbox and calendar?
That is the job, so yes, usually delegated access rather than your password. Most clients start them on the calendar only and add the inbox in week two once they have watched how you triage. We will not ask you to share a credential, and the onboarding checklist shows the delegated route for Google and Microsoft.
Can they book travel and handle expenses?
Yes, on your card held in your own travel tool or booking account, never on theirs. They keep the receipts where your finance process expects them, and they will tell you what a trip cost before they book it rather than after.
What happens when I am traveling and the hours stop lining up?
Tell them the trip dates and they shift their day. An assistant in Kingston, Jamaica moving to cover a London week is a two hour change for them, not an overnight shift, which is one of the practical reasons we recruit where we do.
Who employs the specialist?
Tribe does. They are contracted through us in their own country, and you sign one agreement with Tribe. You get a worker on your team without opening an entity or running foreign payroll.
What happens if the fit is wrong?
Tell us inside the first month and we shortlist again. The replacement costs nothing and we stop billing the placement that did not work from the day you tell us. We would rather swap once than lose the account.
Can I interview before I commit?
Yes. You see two or three profiles with their work samples, you interview the ones you want, and you decide. Nothing starts until you pick someone.
