LAMBENT: LOS ANGELES

STAFFING AND RECRUITING

 

LAMBENT LA

Los Angeles understands the value of the assistant. It’s embedded in its entertainment industry culture,  using production assistants on set and personal assistants throughout.

Opened in 2007, LA is our second largest office. Originally offering only part-time assistants, word-of-mouth and repeat clientele have helped us grow a robust direct hire department, which fills full-time and temporary positions. And our pool of 20 part-time assistants continue to provide for those needing ongoing flexible support. In all cases, Lambent assistants adapt to the needs of today’s ever-evolving office and home environments: in-person, remote, or hybrid.

Our client base includes celebrities, but largely focuses on a range of people who place a premium on the quality of their time – busy professionals, CEOs, entrepreneurs, and HNW individuals. Lambent makes the hiring process easy. We present only prospects we believe are an excellent fit. In addition to skills, we consider personality, interpersonal style and work approach, because the effectiveness of one-on-one support is largely based on the quality of communication between client and assistant. For both, we consider the entire person.

 

SUPPORTING YOU

Lambent assistants help you maximize your networking potential, be it party planning, keeping busy event calendars, booking and changing travel arrangements, maintaining contact lists, and managing social media. You will never forget to send flowers or a note of congratulations again!

Or, reclaim your time by delegating clerical work like scanning and cataloging receipts for reimbursement, processing online returns, or staying on top of your inbox. Send them on errands, such as buying and putting away groceries, personal shopping, returning purchases, or getting your car serviced, keeping you from sitting in Los Angeles traffic.

Our assistants are adept at research, helping you stay on top of new offerings, content, and  projects. They can apply, on your behalf, for grants and tax credits, create pitch decks and proposals, and prepare festival submission packages. In every case there is emphasis on the importance of discretion, confidentiality, and gatekeeping. Having a trusted person as your primary point of contact for affiliates streamlines information across channels.

Our first placement client said, “An assistant is more important than a wife.” He was divorced. However extreme, he was right to suggest that who supports you sets the scope for what is possible.

Getting the right assistant is essential, and we will find yours.

 
 
Testimonials

“My Lambent assistant is a miracle. Utterly reliable and helpful, she has excellent judgment. She can figure anything out. She is clever, resourceful, self-confident, and always pleasant. I don't know what we did before she started working with us, so completely do we depend on her.”

JH, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF, ONLINE MAGAZINE

"Jill makes everything so easy—quickly presents great candidates so I can fill the position without spending too much time. She ‘gets’ people and figures out who is good and who will fit in with our small office."

JC, DIRECTOR OF MIDSIZE FAMILY OFFICE (BOSTON)

“We have been fully remote for about 6 weeks now. Stephanie started to support our IT Director just before that time, and she has been an invaluable member on the IT team. She is a true star.”

LF, OFFICE MANAGER OF VENTURE CAPITAL FIRM (SOHO)

“We are well but working remotely from a number of different locations. Kate has been fantastic and continues to be a great addition to the team. We are lucky to have her.”

TS, PRINCIPAL OF AN OPERATING ADVISORY / BRANDING FIRM (MIDTOWN)

“Recently widowed, I was especially interested in finding someone I could depend on and trust. Rebecca is such a person. She is intelligent, talented, gracious, and an excellent problem solver. This last quality has been especially important during this difficult transition.”

EV, MANAGING DIRECTOR OF EQUITIES INVESTMENT FIRM (UPPER EAST SIDE)

“I have used Lambent to find household staff in my personal life and a rockstar Executive Assistant in my professional life. Sometimes when a key employee is under water on a project, I call Lambent to find the overqualified temp who can help get things back on track.”

LB, CEO EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE COMPANY (DUMBO)

“Thank you so much for making this process easy. I know she is my Mom's assistant but I feel like I now have one as well as she is relieving me of the many things my Mom was asking me to do and which were hard to squeeze in between my job, kids, house, dog etc.!”
