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.
At Biscuit, we’ve seen time and time again that the most impactful EAs are those who align with a company’s values, pace, and personality – not just the job spec.
An EA is often the right hand to senior leadership. They need to anticipate needs, read between the lines, and represent their executive with professionalism and emotional intelligence. When there’s a mismatch in working style or personality, even the most technically capable EA can struggle to thrive.
On the flip side, when an EA is naturally in sync with their executive and the wider team, they become an indispensable asset – someone who adds value beyond the expected and grows alongside the business.
Our EA recruitment process goes beyond the CV. We invest time in understanding not only the role but also the team dynamics, leadership style, and company culture. We match candidates not just on experience, but on chemistry – because we know that’s what builds lasting partnerships.
Whether you’re hiring your first EA or replacing a long-standing right hand, here at Biscuit we are here to help you find someone who’s the perfect fit – on paper and in person.

“There’s no one way to live a life.” One simple line from an International Women’s Day panel stayed with me. We spend so much time following narratives we think we’re supposed to live by. But real change begins when we take ownership of our choices and start writing our own.
