Hiring & Matching

Can I switch my assistant's focus mid-engagement?

Yes. Scope shifts are seamless. Role changes get a matched new hire.

Updated April 18, 2026

Business needs change — your hire's focus can change with them.

Scope shifts (same role)

If the shape of the work drifts — say your EA starts doing more inbox triage and less travel — we re-train in the background. Your hire keeps their account history and relationship with you; only the focus shifts.

No new contract, no billing reset. Just mention it to your Customer Success Manager.

Role changes (different role)

If the work fundamentally changes — e.g. you want to swap your EA for an SDR — we match a new hire with the new role profile. The handover is coordinated so you don't lose continuity, and billing transitions smoothly on the same invoice cadence.
