As well as ensuring that operations run smoothly, office managers can have a huge impact on company culture and business success. In boutique companies, the role of office manager often encompasses many aspects, including PA and admin support. We’ll work with you to help you define your requirements and match you with a versatile candidate that fits.
First and foremost, we’ll collaborate with you to create a job specification for your office support role and determine the best way to pitch it to attract the best talent. A senior consultant will visit your office to meet you and get a feel for your company’s culture.
As soon as we understand what you’re looking for, we’ll touch base with the candidates we think could be the perfect fit. We will have a few individuals in mind, and we can use our network and resources to find other potential candidates for the role.
Before we introduce you to a candidate, we’ll personally screen, meet, interview and assess them at our London office to get an insight into their experience, motivations and ambitions. We’ll also ensure they’re suitably prepared for their interview with you.
Once you’re happy and have found the ideal candidate, we’ll liaise with them to secure a response and start date. We can also advise on employment terms such as salary and benefits as well as onboarding processes if you so wish. Please enquire about hiring an office manager by sending an email to auria@orielpartners.co.uk.

A few common questions companies looking for office support recruitment agencies in London ask us about our service. For more information about our process, please get in touch.
We can recruit for a range of office support roles, including office managers, receptionists, PAs, admin assistants, and more. As there are often crossovers within roles, especially at smaller boutique firms, we’ll help you refine your job description.
Unlike some office manager recruitment agencies in London, Oriel Partners is driven by quality rather than sales. Every one of our senior recruiters handles only a handful of briefs at a time to ensure a high level of service.
We advertise both temporary and permanent office manager and support roles in London. We can also secure a candidate for you on a temporary basis while you look for a suitable permanent employee to fill a position. Take a look at the job opportunities below.
Every shortlist is carefully curated by one of our senior consultants and we’ll never put forward a candidate we’re unsure about. As such, typically we provide profiles of between four to six candidates, depending on your preferences.
A temporary office manager can assist with various tasks depending on the business's specific needs.
They may manage day-to-day operations the same way as a permanent team member, such as maintaining office supplies, overseeing administrative staff, and ensuring the office runs smoothly.
They may also coordinate and oversee projects, manage budgets, and develop office policies and procedures. Other responsibilities may include liaising with external vendors, managing contracts, and overseeing the maintenance and upkeep of the office space.
The specific tasks will vary depending on the needs of the business, but a temporary office manager can provide valuable support across a wide range of areas to cover temporary staffing gaps.
