Base select+

Trial your next executive assistant before you hire.

Hire smarter. Trial top-tier, U.S.-based executive assistants before committing — and find the perfect fit, risk-free.

How it works

1 Kick off with a curated intake and onboarding process

Our concierge team will guide you through a quick but thorough intake to understand your work style and priorities—so we can match you with top-tier EAs who truly fit.

How it works

2 Start working with unlimited full-time, remote EAs on a trial basis

Each EA works full-time during the trial—fully embedded, just like a permanent team member. Each EA picks up where the last left off—because we document everything, every day. Not the right fit? Try working with someone else.

How it works

3 Find your perfect match — and hire with confidence

When you find the right fit, we'll support the transition to hire—plus we offer delegation coaching and ongoing tools through our EA community.
