For employers The team you already have

Know where your whole team
actually stands.

A full, expert-reviewed assessment of every EA you already employ, measured against the same standard you hire against. Each person gets their own report; you get one view of the whole team: who sits where, and where to develop next. Priced per person, and the more of the team you assess, the less each one costs.

What this is

One standard, across your whole team.

Hiring tells you whether one candidate is right for one seat. It says nothing about the people already on your desk. Most teams have never had a consistent, evidenced read of how their EAs actually perform, only appraisals, opinions, and the fluency of a good conversation.

Benchmark Your Team fixes that. Each EA sits a scenario-based assessment at the level that matches their seat, and receives an expert-reviewed report and development plan. Because everyone is scored against one standard, by one reviewer team, the results are directly comparable: you see the whole team on the same map, who is operating as an EA to Senior Leadership, who is close to Executive Business Partner, and exactly where each person grows from here.

What makes it a team tool, rather than a stack of separate results, is what sits on top: a report written for you as the manager, and a 30-minute debrief with Lily to talk through what the results mean for your team and what to do next.

Who it's for

For the person who owns the team.

If you lead an EA function, in HR, as an EA Manager, or as a Head of EA, you carry a question you can rarely answer with evidence: how good, really, is the team you already have? Appraisals lean on opinion. This gives you an objective read of every assistant against one standard, so you can develop and deploy them with confidence.

It turns guesswork into a plan. You see where development budget lands the biggest lift, spot the assistant quietly operating above their seat and make that promotion call on evidence, and show a hard-to-retain team you are investing in them, about the cheapest retention there is against the cost of replacing a senior EA.

What you get

Three things, not one report.

For each person

Their own report

Every EA receives the same expert-reviewed report an individual candidate gets: their level on the standard, their strengths, and a development plan. It is theirs to keep, so the assessment develops them, not just measures them.

For you, the manager

A tailored team report

A single report written for the person running the team, not for each candidate. It covers:

  • Every EA placed on the standard, side by side, on one benchmark
  • Each person's strengths and development areas, at a glance
  • Team-wide patterns: shared gaps, and where the bench is strong
  • Who is operating above their seat and ready to step up
  • Where to focus development spend for the biggest lift

With Lily

A 30-minute debrief

One 30-minute call with Lily for every commission, to walk you through the team report and what it means in practice: who to develop, who to stretch, and how to read the results against the decisions in front of you. Founder-led, and included in the price.

How it works

Four steps, and we handle the rest.

Step 1

Choose how many

Tell us how many EAs you want to assess. The per-person price drops as the number goes up.

Step 2

We invite each EA

Every person gets a single-use link and sits the assessment at the level that matches their seat, in their own time.

Step 3

Each is reviewed

Every sitting is scored against the standard and expert-reviewed, the same rubric employers hire against.

Step 4

You get the team view

Each EA receives their own report. You receive a tailored team report, and a 30-minute debrief with Lily to talk it through.

Is this the right product?
  • Benchmarking people you already have? This is the one. Assess your team on the standard and see where each person sits.

Bespoke · for regular hirers

Assessing your team often? We’ll build it around you.

The four levels cover most teams. But if you benchmark and hire against the same, specific bar again and again, an off-the-shelf level is not always the closest fit.

We can scope a bespoke assessment built around your business: the exact competencies, scenarios, and standards you measure your people against, scored the same rigorous way. You tell us what a great EA looks like in your world; we build the day that tests for it.
