Frequently asked questions
About your Executive Assistant
Why should I hire an Athena EA instead of hiring an EA on my own?
Hiring your own executive assistant is high-risk, time-consuming, costly, and results in shorter tenures. Athena does the
work for you. We start with the top 1% of applicants, perform thorough background and reference checks, and provide in-person
training and ongoing education. Every Athena Executive Assistant (EA) has a personal manager and an extensive network of peers
they can rely on to answer their questions. And to take additional work off your plate, your EA is employed through Athena and we
handle payroll, benefits, compliance, and data security.
Referral program
Does Athena have a referral program?
Yes. Every Athena member is automatically enrolled in our referral program, which offers some of the strongest incentives in
the industry for both you and your referrals. The specific rewards change periodically, and they’re always designed to offer true
value to you, your referrals and your EA.
