About Donna

Donna provides premium Executive Assistants and specialized remote talent to ambitious business leaders across North America. We invest heavily in selecting and developing exceptional professionals who become trusted extensions of our clients' teams.

About the Role

As our hiring volume grows, we're looking for a North American interviewer to conduct the final interview stage for Executive Assistant candidates - a step currently handled by our CEO.

Candidates reaching the final interview have already been evaluated for qualifications, work experience, motivation, and role fit by our Recruitment Team.

The final interview is the last step in the process before a candidate is endorsed to enter Donna's talent training program.

• Assess English fluency, communication style, confidence, and professionalism, and the ability to think and respond naturally in real time (Communication, Executive Presence, Judgment, Growth Mindset)

• Evaluate candidates' readiness to communicate with North American executives

• Assess cultural alignment and overall client-facing presence

• Complete star-rating feedback and brief written notes in our ATS (Workable) with a clear recommendation on whether to endorse the candidate for the training stage or not

• Flag borderline cases with reasoning to keep decisions consistent as volume scales

• Collaborate with Donna's Recruitment Team (specifically the Recruiting Lead) on final hiring decisions when needed

• Maintain a professional, respectful candidate experience regardless of outcome

What We're Looking For
