Executive & Personal Assistant Recruitment
What Is EA Recruitment at RICHVOULT?
RICHVOULT's EA recruitment service places elite executive and personal assistants with UHNW principals, family offices, and C-suite executives — using a flat-fee model starting at €3,600, compared to the industry-standard 25–35% of annual salary typically charged by traditional agencies. Candidates are drawn from a vetted database of 14,000+ profiles across 30+ countries.
How Our Flat-Fee Model Works
RICHVOULT charges a fixed fee per placement, not a percentage of salary. Three tiers: Curated Profiles (€3,600) delivers shortlisted candidate profiles within 5–7 days. Full Recruitment (€7,600) includes sourcing, vetting, interviewing, and reference checks. Elite Recruitment with Training (€14,800) adds onboarding support and 90-day placement mentoring. All tiers include a replacement guarantee.

Candidate Vetting Process
Every candidate in the RICHVOULT database has passed a multi-stage vetting process: background check, competency assessment, reference verification from previous UHNW or family office employers, language proficiency test (candidates typically speak 2–4 languages), and an in-person or video interview with a RICHVOULT consultant.

Why Choose RICHVOULT Over Traditional Agencies
Traditional recruitment agencies charge 25–35% of annual salary — typically €15,000–€35,000 for a senior EA role. RICHVOULT's flat-fee model starts at €3,600, delivering equal or superior candidate quality at a fraction of the cost. The 3.5-year average tenure versus the industry average of 18 months reflects the depth of the vetting process and the precision of the matching.
