Boutique Freelance Recruitment · United Kingdom
The right person. Every time.
Boutique freelance recruitment for Executive Assistants, PAs, Operations Managers and Administrators — placed with precision, matched on personality.
For Clients
Exceptional support, found for you.
Startups and entrepreneurs often wear a dozen hats at once, and not every one of them needs a permanent hire. Whether you're growing a single business or juggling several at different stages, we place experienced freelance support who can step in, take on the day-to-day, and hold the operational side steady, so you can stay focused on building and innovating, not maintaining.
How it works for clients→For Candidates
Freelance roles worth having.
We work with experienced professionals who want flexibility without giving up the quality of work they do. Whether you're a parent or carer, juggling multiple commitments, or simply thrive on variety rather than one fixed role, if you bring genuine skill and professionalism, we can help you find freelance work that fits your life, not the other way around.

"Recruitment built on trust, taste, and an instinct for the right fit."
The FA Collective was founded on a simple belief: that the best support professionals are placed through relationships, not algorithms. We are a boutique agency, and we intend to stay that way — small enough to know every candidate on our books, discerning enough to turn away a brief that isn't right.
We specialise exclusively in freelance and flexible placements, which means our clients get the agility they need and our candidates retain the independence they value. Every introduction we make is considered. Every placement we stand behind.
Roles we place
01
Executive Assistants
Supporting C-suite leaders, founders, and high-profile individuals who demand the highest level of professional discretion.
02
Personal Assistants
Trusted right-hand support for entrepreneurs, creatives, and high-net-worth individuals managing complex personal and professional lives.
03
Operations Managers
Experienced operators who bring structure, calm, and strategic oversight to fast-moving businesses and growing teams.
04
Administrators
Highly capable administrators who keep organisations running smoothly, placed where precision and reliability matter most.
"The FA Collective understood exactly what we needed — not just the skills, but the personality. Our placement has been seamless from day one."
"I've worked with several agencies over the years. None of them took the time to understand my working style the way The FA Collective did."
