Ready to find your perfect Chief of Staff? Biscuit matches you with strategic leaders who understand how to make ambitious visions a reality.
A Chief of Staff is your strategic right-hand, the person who bridges the gap between vision and execution, translating big-picture thinking into actionable reality. They orchestrate cross-functional projects, manage stakeholder relationships, and ensure nothing critical falls off your radar.
More than that, they think ahead — anticipating challenges, identifying opportunities, and creating the systems that scale with your ambitions.
Whether you’re a fast-growing startup, an established company navigating change, or a leader who needs someone to manage the complexity while you focus on what only you can do, the right Chief of Staff becomes an extension of your leadership.
If you’re constantly context-switching between strategic decisions and operational details, or if your growing business feels like it’s outpacing your ability to stay on top of everything, it’s time to consider hiring for a Chief of Staff role.
Perhaps you’re spending more time in meetings about meetings than actually moving the needle, or you’re scaling rapidly and need someone who can manage complex cross-functional projects while you focus on the bigger picture.
The right Chief of Staff doesn’t just take things off your plate. They multiply your effectiveness, extend your strategic reach, and create the operational excellence that lets you lead at the level your business actually needs. Whether you’re feeling stretched too thin or ready to accelerate growth, bringing in a Chief of Staff is often the difference between managing your business and truly leading it.

A Chief of Staff acts as your strategic right-hand, bridging the gap between vision and execution. They manage complex cross-functional projects, coordinate between departments, handle sensitive stakeholder relationships, and ensure critical initiatives don’t get lost in day-to-day operations. They extend your reach, amplify your impact, and create the operational excellence that lets you focus on leading rather than managing every detail.
If you’re spending more time coordinating than strategising, or if your business complexity is outgrowing your capacity to oversee everything effectively, then yes, you should hire a Chief of Staff. The right Chief of Staff creates bandwidth for you to lead at the level your business actually needs.
Absolutely. A Chief of Staff typically operates at the C-suite level, often reporting directly to the CEO or founder. They need senior-level judgment, strategic thinking capability, and the executive presence to work effectively with leadership teams, board members, and key stakeholders.
Because finding the right Chief of Staff is about more than matching qualifications. It’s about identifying someone whose strategic instincts align with yours and whose judgment you can trust implicitly. We understand the nuanced combination of skills, experience, and executive presence required at this level. Our specialised network and assessment process ensure you’re meeting candidates who have the gravitas and track record for this critical partnership, not just impressive CVs.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion are no longer just buzzwords – they’re central to building resilient, innovative, and forward-thinking teams. But even companies with the best intentions often fall short in the first step of the hiring process: the job advert.
When it comes to job hunting, the process can often feel overwhelming – hundreds of applications, generic rejections, and little to no feedback. But what if your job search could feel more human, more intentional, and more tailored to you? That’s where a boutique recruitment agency like ours comes in.
In the world of EA recruitment, it’s easy to focus solely on hard skills – calendar management, inbox mastery, event planning, and travel coordination. But the true magic of a successful EA hire often comes down to one crucial factor: cultural fit.
