How Bloomfield & Company Works with Clients
Every search begins with a direct conversation about what the client actually needs, not just what is written in a draft job description. Bloomfield & Company takes time to understand team dynamics, leadership style, and the operational environment the new hire will step into. From there, the team sources and evaluates candidates against both technical qualifications and the interpersonal qualities that determine whether someone will genuinely thrive in the role. Clients receive a focused shortlist rather than a flood of unreviewed applications, and communication throughout the process is clear and consistent. Because Bloomfield & Company maintains long-term relationships with both clients and candidates, the firm is able to deliver results that hold up well after the offer is accepted.
Practitioners in this field often note that a successful placement hinges on cultural fit and anticipatory problem-solving as much as on administrative skill. In our experience, a well-matched candidate can reduce ramp-up time by weeks and contribute to stronger team collaboration from day one.

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes Bloomfield & Company different from other Seattle personal assistant recruiters?
Bloomfield & Company approaches every search as a consultative process rather than a transaction. The firm takes time to understand the executive’s working style, the organization’s culture, and the specific demands of the role before sourcing candidates. This means clients receive a focused shortlist of professionals who have been evaluated on both qualifications and interpersonal fit, rather than a large volume of unfiltered applications.
The firm also draws on a national talent network, which is particularly valuable for Seattle clients seeking candidates with experience in specialized environments such as fast-growing startups, professional services firms, or mission-driven organizations.
What types of personal assistant roles does Bloomfield & Company recruit for in Seattle?
Bloomfield & Company recruits for a range of personal assistant and executive support roles, from personal assistants supporting busy founders and C-suite leaders to executive assistants managing complex calendars and investor communications, executive business partners working alongside senior leadership teams, and chiefs of staff serving in more strategic operational capacities. The firm focuses on mid- to senior-level professionals who bring both the technical skills and the judgment required to support high-demand executives effectively.
Does Bloomfield & Company work with startups as well as larger organizations?
Yes. Bloomfield & Company works with organizations across a wide range of sizes and stages, from early-stage startups building out their first administrative infrastructure to established enterprises with complex organizational structures. The firm is experienced in helping founders who have never formally hired an executive or personal assistant define what the role should look like and then identify candidates who are genuinely prepared to work in a fast-moving, evolving environment.
How does Bloomfield & Company evaluate candidates for personal assistant roles?
Candidates are assessed on a combination of factors, including relevant experience, professional polish, discretion, adaptability, and their ability to anticipate the needs of the executives they support. Because personal assistant roles often involve access to sensitive information and high-stakes communications, Bloomfield & Company places particular emphasis on character and judgment alongside functional skills. The goal is to present candidates who are genuinely ready to contribute from the first week, not just individuals who look good on paper.
Is Bloomfield & Company able to source candidates outside the Seattle area if needed?
Yes. While Bloomfield & Company is headquartered in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, the firm operates nationally and is experienced in sourcing candidates from a broad geographic pool. For Seattle clients whose roles may require relocation or remote flexibility, the firm can reach professionals across the country and match them to opportunities based on fit, not just proximity.
How does the recruiting process begin for a new client?
The process starts with a direct conversation about what the client needs. Bloomfield & Company’s team will ask questions about the executive’s working style, the organization’s culture, the specific tasks and responsibilities the personal assistant will own, and any previous hiring experiences that may have shaped what the client is looking for. From there, the firm develops a clear picture of the ideal candidate and begins sourcing from both active and passive talent pools. Clients are kept informed throughout the process, and candidate presentations include context that helps decision-makers evaluate fit quickly and confidently.
