Pepper's Proven Process

Our process

We know you need help yesterday. That’s exactly why we built a process that gets you support fast, matches you with the right person, and stays by your side through the whole relationship.

Finding a great personal assistant shouldn’t feel like a second job. Managing one shouldn’t either. At Pepper’s, we’ve spent years refining a process that takes the work off your plate from the very first conversation and keeps it there.

minutes or less of your time across 3 short meetings. That’s all we need between your first call and your personal assistant getting started in your home. We handle everything in between.

Here’s what the process looks like

A lot happens behind the scenes. Your part is simple.

Discovery call

We know exactly what questions to ask to quickly figure out if we’re a mutual fit, and we’re ready to answer any questions you have.

Service agreement and getting started fee

Simple and transparent. You know exactly what you’re signing up for before anything begins.

Deep dive call

This is where we really get to know you. Your preferences, your household, your communication style, the rhythms of your daily life. The more we understand, the better we match.

Full recruitment on your behalf

We post the job, review every application, conduct multiple rounds of interviews, and complete thorough background and reference checks. You don’t lift a finger.

Meet your Jumpstarter in your home

We understand you need help yesterday. So while your permanent personal assistant is being recruited, we send a Jumpstarter, an experienced Pepper’s team member, into your home right away. Real support starts immediately, no waiting required.

Your personal assistant is hired and trained the Pepper’s Way

Once selected, your personal assistant is trained in our systems, standards, and service philosophy. They’re prepared before they ever walk through your door.

Meet your personal assistant for onboarding

Your Jumpstarter spends the first week training alongside your new personal assistant in your home, passing along everything they’ve learned about how you live and what you need. Your household guide is already filled out with your preferences, your routines, your systems. You don’t have to brief anyone or repeat yourself. We’ve got it handled.

Ongoing check-ins and your Perfect Fit Guarantee

We check in regularly to make sure your expectations are being met as your life evolves. And if something isn’t working, we make it right. Our Perfect Fit Guarantee means that if your personal assistant isn’t the right fit or your needs change, we will seamlessly replace them at no additional cost.

Ongoing employee management, support, and training

Your personal assistant has a manager and it’s not you. We handle performance conversations, raise discussions, and professional development. And when your personal assistant takes time off, our team of trained substitutes means you’re never left without coverage.

      We built Pepper’s so that getting great help doesn’t require more of your time and energy. It gives it back.

Book a quick call

Some tasks only need to be done once or twice a year. In this new world of work-life balance from home, we forget to do them because work became life.

Below are our top five things to mark off your list this March to get the work done to only experience life.

This is a 3-minute read; if you do not have the time, we understand; follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, or Twitter, and we will make sure you get the bullet points.

1: Pull Everything off the Shelf

We put things on the shelf at work because they are good ideas but not the right time to execute. In contrast, we place items up on the shelf at home to celebrate them as done, accomplished, complete, or simply forget about them. March is a great time to clear everything from your home shelves, dust, and sort through to decide what stays and what goes.

2: Un-Box it

Life is one Amazon box after the other. Combined, all of these boxes fill our recycle bin to capacity. What do you do? Do you pay for the extra bin, or do you stack the cardboard in your garage until the next dump run? No! Donate it.

Give Back Box provides vendor services to retailers and charities, giving each cardboard box a second life to help people in need. Receive a box, unpack it, then fill it with the unwanted household items down from the shelf: clothing, shoes, etc., and make a significant difference in the life of another person.

3: Flip your mattress

In the world of foam mattresses, the question is to flip or not to flip, and our advice is to consult the manufacturer when in doubt. Most foam mattresses on the market today: Casper, Purple, Lucid, are not made for flipping; however, you can rotate them, remove the zippered cover, wash it and return it for fresher night sleep.

4: Wash and sort all linens

While washing the mattress cover and pulling things down from the shelf, now is also an excellent time to wash all your linens, and we mean all, even the ones at the very back or bottom of the closet or shelf.
