The Benefits of Appointing an EA from Outside Your Industry
✔️ Highly Motivated Applicants
Candidates from outside your industry are often highly motivated to prove themselves. Many have invested in professional development, built networks, and actively seek opportunities in your field. As a recruiter, I value eagerness to learn and outperform over industry experience. Offering a chance to a motivated candidate often results in top performance and strong loyalty.
✔️ Fresh Perspectives
Sticking to the same methods can limit growth. Introducing someone with a different background can bring fresh ideas and approaches. A new EA from outside your industry will challenge old processes, drive change, and introduce valuable knowledge to your organization.
✔️ New Expertise
An executive assistant with a different industry background can bring unique expertise. For example, an EA from a regulated industry can be invaluable for teams handling legal documentation. Or, an EA with financial market experience can assist businesses that have recently listed, offering fresh insights and support.
✔️ Breaking Into New Markets
If your company is looking to expand into new markets, hiring an EA with experience in those sectors can give you a competitive edge. Their industry contacts, knowledge of customers, and understanding of key stakeholders will save time, money, and effort in securing business.
