PA Recruitment Specialists in London

Oriel Partners are different from other London-based agencies because we're not driven by sales targets. Our consultants work on a small number of briefs at any one time, which means each client receives genuine attention rather than a formulaic approach. We interview every candidate directly before presenting them. We have a 4.9/5 star rating on Google from over 170 reviews from both clients and candidates, and around half of our clients return to us within 12 months.

Yes, Oriel Partners recruits for both temporary and permanent PA and secretarial roles. If you need someone quickly, we can source cover on a flexible basis while we work on finding the right permanent candidate. Contact us directly and we will give you a realistic picture of timescales and availability.

Oriel Partners work across all sectors, both corporate and creative, and recruit for organisations of all sizes from global multinationals to smaller owner-managed businesses. Sectors we regularly recruit for include private equity, finance and banking, executive search, property, management consultancy, hospitality, media, digital, luxury retail and charity. We have also placed candidates in international roles outside the UK.

Yes, Oriel Partners places private PAs for UHNW individuals, high-profile principals, politicians and private family offices. Discretion and a tailored approach are central to how we handle these briefs. You can find out more on our private PA recruitment page.

Oriel Partners' working target for hiring a PA is to have our first shortlist with you within 48 hours of briefing, with most permanent placements completing within two to four weeks. Timeframes vary depending on seniority and candidate availability, and we will give you a realistic expectation at the outset. If you have a specific deadline or need urgent cover in the interim, let us know and we will advise on the options.
