How do you protect client privacy and data?
Every double we hire signs an NDA before they are matched with an executive. The NDA covers all data they receive from third-parties while working with Double. This measure protects not only Double's data, but any and all information our executives share with our Double assistants while working with us, regardless of which clients they're working with or who provides the information to them.
When executives are onboarded to Double, we either ask them to add their double to their existing password manager, or we guide them through creating a free and secure 1Password vault through Double that is shared between them and their new assistant. This ensures all shared, sensitive information is protected.
We also recommend our clients interact with their assistant through our Double mobile app, desktop app, or Chrome extension. The data passed through these communication tools are always encrypted—both at rest and in transit.
Pricing
How does billing work?
Our plans start at just 10 hours per calendar month for $549. After your first month, you can choose to upgrade to another pricing plan that works best for your needs. Each plan includes a set number of hours to be used every calendar month, for any hours your Double works beyond the included hours, you will be billed at the hourly rate according to your plan. As you upgrade to a higher tier plan the cost per hour reduces further.
The first week of every new month your credit card gets charged for the plan plus any additional hours used in the previous calendar month. Some plans allow you to receive an invoice and pay it online.
Can Double support a team?
Yes, Double can support multiple individuals in one organization or team. We offer Plans for Teams to bundle hours for even greater benefits and lower costs per hour.
While we cannot guarantee that you and your teammates will have the same Double due to availability and compatibility, we do our best to have as few Doubles working across your team as possible. Our Doubles go through a rigorous vetting and selection process, so you can expect a consistent level of service and excellent collaboration.
The primary user of your Double for Teams plan will have the ability to add and remove team members and set a maximum number of hours for their teammates, in addition to deciding whether personal tasks are allowed or not. If you have any other questions, please feel free to schedule some time to speak with our team.
Vetting and selection process
How do you source your assistants?
What is your candidate vetting process?
Our team only considers assistants from candidates who have been virtual executive assistants with top executives. Our assistants have on average 5 years of experience. We then conduct an extensive selection process that includes:
- Pass a skills assessment that evaluates their ability to complete critical executive assistant tasks
- 2 rounds of interviews with our in-house recruiting team
In addition, our team performs both reference and verified background checks for every assistant we work with.
How do you evaluate candidates for experience and professionalism?
During each part of the interview process detailed above, our team evaluates candidates across five key competencies that we have identified as critical indicators to success.
Problem solving: Our team uses scenario-based assessments and questions to identify candidates who are strong critical thinkers, creative problem solvers, proactive, adaptable, and work well under pressure.
Organization: The structure of the interview process enables us to evaluate how well candidates can balance competing priorities, context switch efficiently, manage time effectively, and present information clearly and succinctly.
Communication: From the moment an application is submitted through the end of the interview process, we look for clear, proactive, adaptable, and professional communication skills in every written and verbal interaction.
Relationship building: Relationships are at the heart of what we do. Our team leverages the scenario assessments to identify candidates who are proactive, flexible, trustworthy, discreet, coachable, and positive.
Technology: Our executives use a wide range of productivity tools and apps. Therefore our double assistants must be in-the-know about the latest platforms and willing to level-up when they’re not.
How do you ensure successful matching between an assistant and executive?
Before an assistant can be matched with an executive, they must complete a week-long onboarding process. During this time period they review all of our guidelines and meet with current, experienced doubles.
When matching clients and assistants, we take into account the following attributes: - Location and timezones - Assistant experience working within different industries - Executive experience working with assistants - Difficulty level of anticipated tasks, amount of support hours the executive needs, and balance of professional vs personal support - Executive working style and communication - Common interests and pet peeves
Once an assistant has completed their onboarding, they are matched with only one or two executives to begin with, so that they have time to ramp up. Each seasoned assistant supports on average 3 executives at a time.
How do you ensure ongoing success with the assistants after they are onboarded and matched?
