Hire a Personal Assistant in SoHo, New York

You can hire a virtual personal assistant through The Middle, and requiring support for solely remote tasks may open up your pool of candidates to choose from. However, candidates will always be local to your area so you don’t have to worry about different time zones or language barriers.

Personal assistant candidates from The Middle are experienced with flexible schedules but can also accommodate a regular schedule if preferred. However, candidates should not be expected to take on more hours than originally proposed unless mutually agreed upon. When filling out our Client Questionnaire, simply indicate your preferred schedule, and we'll match you with candidates whose availability aligns with your requirements.

Personal assistants handle confidential information at your discretion. Only share what you are comfortable with. Building trust is essential for a successful working relationship, and we recognize that trust often develops over time. Often personal assistants will create primary information documents or if preferable and approved by you, paid subscriptions to secure data storage platforms.

Clients are encouraged to take any additional steps they feel necessary to ensure privacy and confidentiality, such as conducting their own background checks or verifying references. You can also request that your personal assistant sign a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) to clearly outline expectations for handling sensitive information.

A personal assistant from The Middle can start working for you in as little as 10 days. Our goal is to share candidate profiles within a week of receiving your request, and interviews are then scheduled according to your availability.  If follow-up interviews are needed or if the initial matches aren't a good fit, additional time will be factored in as necessary.

We focus on matching clients with candidates for long-term positions, but are happy to assess short term project hires on a case by case basis.

We want you to feel confident in your hire, which is why we allow unlimited free interviews before you make a decision. However, we understand these roles are highly personal and have built-in a 2 week trial period when hiring a personal assistant through The Middle. Our “replacement period” provides time for 1 week of training and 1 week of evaluation to make sure your hire is the right fit.

The Middle's value is in saving you time by screening applications, coordinating interviews on your behalf, and sharing curated candidate matches for you. Though we make every effort to share matches we believe will be a strong fit, only you will be able to evaluate your interpersonal dynamic and make assessments based on the nuances of your position.
