Yes. Frontline runs three engagement models: direct hire administrative staffing for permanent placement of executive assistants, office managers, and senior administrative professionals (backed by the 5-Year Placement Warranty), temporary administrative staffing for parental leave, vacation coverage, project-based support, and peak season volume, and temporary-to-hire administrative staffing that lets employers evaluate skill level and cultural fit on the job before committing to a permanent offer.

Most temporary administrative placements are covered within 24 to 72 hours from request. Most direct hire searches reach a signed offer in 2 to 4 weeks from kickoff, with senior executive assistant and office manager searches typically running 3 to 6 weeks. Frontline shares an initial candidate slate within the first 7 to 10 days of every direct hire engagement.

Administrative compensation varies by role, scope, geography, and industry. Senior executive assistants supporting C-suite principals command higher base salaries plus annual bonus and benefits. Office managers typically earn mid-five-figure to low-six-figure base depending on operational scope and team size. Administrative assistants, project coordinators, and bilingual admin staff fall into competitive bands that vary by metro. Receptionists, data entry clerks, and entry-level clerical roles are often filled on temporary or temp-to-hire engagements with hourly rates set against current local market data.

The 5-Year Placement Warranty is the exclusive Frontline promise that a directly placed administrative professional will succeed in role, or Frontline replaces the candidate at no additional fee for up to five years. The administrative staffing industry standard guarantee is 90 days, so Frontline coverage is 20 times longer.

An administrative assistant supports a team, department, or function with operational tasks: scheduling, records, document preparation, expense processing, mail and shipping, and general logistical support. An executive assistant supports a specific senior leader (CEO, CFO, principal) with personalized administrative and secretarial work: calendar gatekeeping, board material preparation, travel logistics, confidential correspondence, and stakeholder management. Executive assistants typically command higher compensation reflecting the trust and judgment required.

Skills testing for data entry, typing speed, and software proficiency is available on request.
