Question 1

What roles do you staff?

Accepted Answer

We staff administrative and office-support roles across nine specializations: executive assistants, administrative assistants, office managers, virtual assistants, operations assistants, HR/people operations, project coordinators, legal administration, and healthcare administration. Whether you need C-suite executive support or a specialized healthcare office manager, we source specifically within the administrative field — not general office roles thrown in as an afterthought.

Question 2

How is staffing different from posting a job?

Accepted Answer

When you post a job, you write the listing, manage every application yourself, and sort through however many resumes come in — qualified or not. When you work with us on staffing, we run the search for you: we scope the role with you, headhunt and screen candidates from our administrative network, check references, and hand you a small, explained shortlist of people worth your time. You interview finalists, not resumes. Posting is self-serve; staffing is hands-on: we offer contingency-based direct hire staffing — no fee unless we place a candidate who accepts and starts. A job-board purchase does not include our recruiting, sourcing, screening or placement services unless separately agreed to in writing.

Question 3

How long does a search take?

Accepted Answer

Most searches produce a shortlist shortly after our intake call, depending on the specialization and how niche the requirements are. We'll give you a realistic timeline specific to your role during the consult — we'd rather set accurate expectations than promise a number we can't hit.

Question 4

What does staffing cost?

Accepted Answer

We offer contingency-based direct hire staffing — no fee unless we place a candidate who accepts and starts. Our fee is shared during your consultation once we understand the role. If you'd rather post the opening yourself instead of a full search, our job board packages start at $249.

Question 5

What happens if a placement doesn't work out?

Accepted Answer

It's rare, but we don't just walk away if it happens. We'll talk through exactly how we handle it during your consultation, so there are no surprises going in.

Question 6

What kind of staffing engagements do you offer?

Accepted Answer

We currently offer contingency direct-hire placement only — permanent administrative hires that we source, screen, interview and shortlist for you. We do not currently provide temporary, contract, temp-to-perm or payroll staffing. Virtual and remote administrative roles are absolutely within our specialties; they are simply placed as direct hires.

Question 7

Do you work with small businesses, or only larger companies?

Accepted Answer

We work with organizations of all sizes, though our model is built especially for small to mid-sized organizations that need a dedicated hiring partner without the overhead of an internal recruiting team.

Question 8

Is my search or company information kept confidential?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Whether you're hiring for a sensitive replacement or a newly created role, we treat every search discreetly and only share details with candidates as appropriate for the process.

Question 9

How do candidates get represented?

Accepted Answer

Candidates join our talent bench by creating a profile and completing a short introductory conversation with us. From there, we consider them for roles that match their experience and goals — including searches that are never publicly posted — and represent them honestly with employers rather than mass-submitting their resume everywhere. Their profile is never shared without their knowledge.

Question 10

Is there a fee for job seekers?

Accepted Answer

No. Creating a profile, browsing jobs, applying, and being represented for staffing placements is always free for candidates.

Question 11

Will my current employer know I'm job searching?

Accepted Answer

No. Your candidate profile and activity with Adminicorn are confidential — we never share your information or job-search status with your current employer.

Question 12

Do you offer career coaching outside of active job placement?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We offer one-to-one coaching for administrative professionals — resume refinement, interview prep, salary conversations, and career growth planning — available whether or not you're actively working with us on a placement.

Question 13

How long does a job post stay live, and are posting fees refundable?

Accepted Answer

Every listing is reviewed for quality before it goes live, and approved posts typically publish within one business day. Essential listings stay live for 30 days; Premium and Elite listings stay live for 45 days. Job post credits also have a validity window — 90 days for Essential, 12 months for Premium, and the current term for Elite — and unused credits expire after that. Posting fees are non-refundable once a listing is live, so if you have questions about the right package, email us at hello@adminicorn.com before you purchase.

Question 14

What areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We place candidates nationwide, with our team based in Atlanta, GA. Both in-office and remote/virtual placements are within scope depending on the role.
