How much do we love admin assistants? They keep the office moving and grooving by taking care of the details. Without them, it’s a day of walking in circles.
The role of an admin assistant is often used interchangeably with team assistant. They are great jugglers–supporting a team, they look after multiple people and responsibilities without dropping a single ball.
A good admin assistant is critical for business and team efficiency. We’re your dream agency for finding the right admin assistant to make your team the dream team!
EST10 is a recruitment agency focused solely on administrative roles and admin assistants are our bread and butter. An admin assistant is a doer, multi-tasking and managing competing deadlines to get things done. As your recruiter, we will do the same prioritising finding your perfect admin assistant.
We interview hundreds of candidates every month and know which ones have what it takes to be the best of the best. We’ve even been known to actively train rising administrative stars to help them match the exact needs of busy executives and their teams.
So don’t waste valuable time trying to recruit an admin assistant. Let us recruit your perfect admin assistant for you.
Your question should be, what doesn’t an admin assistant do? They support your team with all of their admin needs so they can focus on the hard-hitting work. They help with organising the team’s time, ensuring they are prepared for meetings and keeping their projects on track. They are essential for getting the small, but business-critical things taken care of.

We’re so confident about our recruitment process that our guarantees far exceed the industry standards.
If you’re not completely delighted with your permanent admin assistant hire within their first three months, we’ll replace the role at no charge.
And if you’re even slightly unhappy with your temp placement within their first eight hours, again we’ll replace the role at no cost. That’s no cost for the first temp placement and no cost for the replacement temporary’s first day. (That’s double the industry standard period.)
In short, we are not happy with the placement unless you’re happy about it too.
As mentioned, the role of an admin assistant is often used interchangeably with team assistant. They are also known as office assistants or executive team assistants. In short, the admin assistant does all things admin and that can include some EA duties, some office management duties even HR and finance functions.
You’ll trust your admin assistant with supporting your team. They will do everything from booking meetings and organising diaries to preparing documents and managing projects.
