Is The Middle a personal assistant agency?
The Middle is not a traditional agency where candidates are looking for full-time, salaried positions. Our candidates are only looking for part-time positions, and wages are paid hourly. Unlike typical agencies that focus on full-time or full-time temporary placements and charge hefty fees (usually 10-20% of the candidate’s salary), we offer a more affordable approach. Our one-time placement fee is $575, and we specialize exclusively in part-time, long-term personal assistant roles.
