How Bloomfield & Company Works with Clients
Every search begins with a real conversation. Bloomfield & Company takes time to understand the operational challenges a client is facing, the culture of the team, and what a successful hire looks like beyond the job description. For executives who have never formally defined a personal assistant role, that conversation can itself clarify what kind of support they actually need. From there, the firm sources candidates through an established network and direct outreach, evaluating each person on both technical qualifications and the softer qualities that determine whether someone will thrive in a particular environment: communication style, composure under pressure, and the ability to anticipate needs rather than simply respond to them.
Clients receive a focused shortlist of vetted candidates, not an inbox full of unfiltered resumes. Because Bloomfield & Company maintains long-term relationships with both clients and candidates, the results of each search tend to hold up well after the hire is made.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does a D.C. personal assistant recruiter actually do differently than a general job board?
A dedicated D.C. personal assistant recruiter like Bloomfield & Company does the evaluation work that a job board cannot. Rather than presenting every applicant who submits a resume, the firm screens for the specific combination of experience, discretion, and professional temperament that executive-level personal assistant roles require. That means clients receive a shortlist of candidates who have already been vetted for both qualifications and cultural fit, rather than spending their own time filtering hundreds of unqualified applications.
Can Bloomfield & Company help define the role if I have not written a formal job description yet?
Yes. Many clients, particularly founders and executives at growing organizations, come to Bloomfield & Company with a general sense of what they need but have not yet translated that into a formal role definition. Part of the firm’s consultative process involves asking the right questions to clarify the scope of support required, the level of seniority that makes sense, and the interpersonal qualities the right candidate should bring. That upfront work produces a more accurate search and, ultimately, a stronger hire.
Does Bloomfield & Company recruit personal assistants outside of Washington, D.C.?
While Bloomfield & Company is headquartered in Washington, D.C., and has deep roots in the metropolitan area’s professional community, the firm operates with a national scope. Clients throughout the United States can work with Bloomfield & Company to source and recruit qualified personal assistant candidates, drawing from a broad talent network that extends well beyond the D.C. region.
What qualities does Bloomfield & Company evaluate when recruiting personal assistants?
Beyond verifying work history and relevant experience, Bloomfield & Company evaluates candidates on qualities that are harder to assess from a resume alone: discretion, adaptability, communication clarity, and the ability to manage ambiguity without requiring constant direction. For executive-level personal assistant roles in particular, the firm pays close attention to how a candidate handles competing priorities and whether their professional style is a genuine match for the executive they would be supporting.
What industries does Bloomfield & Company serve when recruiting personal assistants?
Bloomfield & Company recruits personal assistants and executive support professionals across a broad range of industries, including professional services, healthcare, manufacturing, non-profit organizations, and technology. The firm’s functional expertise across administrative support, human resources, accounting and finance, marketing, and operations means it understands how organizational context shapes what a personal assistant role actually demands from day to day.
How long does the personal assistant recruiting process typically take?
The timeline varies depending on the specificity of the role, the availability of qualified candidates, and how quickly a client can move through the interview and decision process. Bloomfield & Company focuses on presenting a focused shortlist of well-matched candidates efficiently, rather than prolonging the search unnecessarily. Clients who come prepared with a clear sense of their needs and decision-making authority tend to move through the process most smoothly. The firm communicates transparently throughout so clients always know where the search stands.
