Case Study
EMEA RecruitmentRecruitment founder and leadership team
Running a recruitment business is both rewarding and demanding. For founders, every minute spent managing emails and administrative tasks is a minute not spent on revenue-generating activities, building client relationships, or—most importantly—enjoying life outside of work.
This is where Praemando’s Virtual Assistant services make a transformative difference.
In this case study, we explore how the founder of EMEA Recruitment unlocked time, focus, and peace of mind by delegating their inbox and admin workload to Praemando.

Challenge
Inbox Overload and Admin Drain
Like many recruitment leaders, the founder of EMEA Recruitment found himself juggling competing priorities:
- Managing two business models.
- Handling a high volume of administrative and email tasks.
- Struggling to carve out focused time for revenue-driving activities.
- Finding it difficult to properly disconnect when on holiday.
He had read The 4-Hour Work Week and knew there was a smarter way to work, but finding the right partner to entrust with sensitive business processes wasn’t easy.
Solution
Delegating Email & Admin with Confidence
That’s when he partnered with Praemando.
Within weeks, his Virtual Assistant had:
- Taken ownership of his inbox, filtering out noise and prioritising critical communications.
- Streamlined the flow of admin tasks, freeing him from repetitive day-to-day work.
- Gained a deep understanding of his dual business models, ensuring support was not just efficient but also strategic.
The result? A seamless delegation process that gave him back control of his schedule without losing control of his business.
The Results: More Value, More Time, More Balance
In his own words:

And it wasn’t just the founder who noticed the benefits. The Managing Director of EMEA Recruitment also shared his experience:
