The difference between hiring a personal assistant through The Middle vs. an agency

  1. The Middle only places part-time, ongoing personal assistant positions, whereas agencies focus on full time, salaried assistant positions.

  2. Instead of recruiting for specific positions, we pre-screen applicants and qualified candidates are accepted into our database of part-time personal assistants. We then match clients with candidates already in our database who are looking for the type of position our clients are offering.

  3. Price! Agencies charge 10-20% of an assistant’s salary as commission, which can be anywhere between $5000-$15,000. We place part-time positions and our fees reflect that: our services are only $550.
