Atlas Assistants

What Atlas Assistants does

Atlas Assistants is a hiring agency and executive-assistant placement firm founded by Zion Kim in 2023 and operating from Lisbon, Portugal. The company recruits, vets (top 1% of ~2,000 weekly applicants through a 7-stage process), trains, and matches executive assistants to 7-8 figure entrepreneurs and C-suite executives, primarily in the United States. Its core product is a subscription-based EA placement service — full-time at $3,000/month and part-time at $1,300/month — supplemented by a $3,000 one-time onboarding fee and a separately sold 12-week EA Accelerator certification program ($3,500-$4,000).

The company's underlying technology is the proprietary Atlas Executive Management System (Atlas EMS), a four-pillar framework (Goal & Vision Alignment, Proactive Partnership, Standardized Systems, Ongoing Growth & Development) implemented through 11 installed systems including the Executive Atlas documentation template, the Inbox Zero System, Calendar Management, Travel Management, and prioritization frameworks (ABCDE, Sacred Six, Ivy Method). Delivery relies on distributed human EAs based in Macedonia, Serbia, and the Philippines serving US time zones, with bi-weekly coaching, a Slack community for certified EAs, and a Top Available EAs marketplace portal. Co-branded curriculum is delivered with executive coach Regina Gerbeaux, lending operational credibility from her prior roles as Chief of Staff to Matt Mochary, COO of Mochary Method, and Head of Operations at On Deck.

Atlas is bootstrapped with no external institutional investment and is sold via a sales-led GTM motion (operational profile questionnaire + strategy call) layered with content-marketing lead generation through free templates (Executive Atlas Notion template, Inbox Zero guide, Inbox SOP) and testimonial-driven referrals. The company reports roughly 100 successful placements and 125,914 cumulative client hours saved.
