I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the differences between Executive Assistants and Virtual Assistants—and how their roles are blending in 2024.
Many EAs are now working remotely and performing roles we’d traditionally assign to VAs. Meanwhile, some VAs are getting more specialized and strategic.
So here’s the question: When you hire admin help, what matters more—location, skills, flexibility, or experience?
Also:
Do you prefer someone embedded in your workflow full-time or task-based assistance?
Have you faced any challenges managing remote assistants (communication, tools, etc.)?
Looking forward to hearing how you’ve structured your support team—and what’s actually working.
