PA & Admin Recruitment FAQs

How is Oriel Partners different from other PA recruitment agencies?

Our specialism is PA, EA, business, and admin support recruitment, and that is all we do. We take time to understand each client's environment before presenting candidates, and we assess all candidates directly before putting them forward.


We work on a small number of briefs at any one time, which means clients receive considered attention rather than volume. 90% of our permanent placements are still in post at 12 months, and around half of our clients return to us within the year.

I need a PA for a short period. Does Oriel Partners recruit for temporary roles?

Yes. We recruit for temporary, contract and temp-to-perm roles as well as permanent positions. For urgent cover, our working target is to provide a first suitable candidate within two working hours of briefing, with same-day or next-day starts in the majority of cases.


All temporary candidates are reference-checked before placement, and clients are charged an hourly rate, so you pay only for hours worked.

I need a PA with a specific set of skills - can you help?

Absolutely. Our candidate network spans a wide range of experience levels, backgrounds and specialisms across PA, EA and admin support.


We will only put forward candidates we believe are a genuine match for your brief, which sometimes means a short, focused shortlist rather than volume. Around 75% of the candidates we present are invited to interview by our clients.

Confidentiality is important to me. How do you handle enquiries?

We handle all client and candidate enquiries with discretion. We are GDPR-compliant and will not share your information with third parties without your consent.


Many of the roles we work on are confidential and not publicly advertised, and discretion is central to how we operate.
