Frequently Asked Questions

Good to know

◆

Was unterscheidet eine Persönliche Assistenz von einer Sekretärin?

A secretary generally works for an office. A Personal Assistant works for a person. They combine professional and private responsibilities, act proactively, and over time become a trusted confidant who knows your environment, habits, and priorities.

Bei wem ist die Assistenz angestellt?

Butler Bureau is a recruitment agency. The assistant is employed directly by you or your company. We support you with the job profile, salary benchmark, and contract drafting.

Ist auch eine Teilzeitstelle möglich?

Yes. Many clients start on a part-time basis or divide the assistant's time between their company and private household. We will clarify which model suits you during the initial consultation.

Mit welchem Gehalt sollte ich rechnen?

A competitive market salary depends on qualifications, scope of responsibility, languages, availability, and region. We advise you on a fair model that reflects performance, responsibility, and trust.

Wie läuft die Zusammenarbeit mit Butler Bureau ab?

Following the initial consultation, you will receive an offer with transparent terms. As soon as the search mandate is placed, we work exclusively and with full dedication for you.
