company profile

Lambent Services is an assistant staffing boutique. Our clients are varied, and share the goal of optimizing the quality of their time. We provide vetted, competent assistants to support our clients in every aspect of their lives so they can function more efficiently and with less unnecessary stress.

For those looking to hire Personal and Executive Assistants, Lambent Services identifies prospects that meet target specifications. We operate in short timeframes, are honest about our findings, and work incredibly hard so that the client does not waste time interviewing unsuitable candidates. Because assistant staffing is our niche, we have an extraordinary success rate.

The heart of Lambent Services is our part-time assistant pool. We maintain a group of 60 assistants in New York, Los Angeles, and other U.S. cities that are available to work with clients on an ongoing basis, typically 5-20 hours a week. Clients determine the amount and type of help they need, and select an assistant based on skills, personality and scheduling parameters. We know each of our assistants personally. We understand which clients they work with best, their strengths, and what makes them tick. Our assistants are unusually bright, polished, and effective.

Choosing to work with a Lambent assistant gives you not more time, which is finite, but different time. The ability to delegate unwanted tasks and responsibilities allows for a deeper commitment to fundamental priorities. We have found that using almost any assistant will streamline your days; using an excellent assistant will improve the fabric of your life. Real support promotes the type of enhanced overall functioning we call success, within love, work, and personal development.

Our Process

"Bottom line on Kim: she's a superstar. She's smart as hell and anticipates my needs. I wish I had more of her, but I am very pleased with the time I do have."

TB, Philanthropist and retired CEO

"Thank you for making this process easy. I know she is my Mom's assistant but I feel like I now have one as well as she is relieving me of the many things my Mom was asking me to do and which were hard to squeeze in between my job, kids, house, dog etc.!"

KD, Marketing Professional

"I want to let you know how wonderful Tracy was today--and what a special, sensitive, warm, and incredible efficient person she is. I have booked her for another session, and I'd love for her to oversee as much of my move as possible."

LR, Autor/Screenwriter relocating from NYC to Malibu

"I would just like to say thank you for having Jennifer work closely with me for the past eight months and for her spectacular service on my behalf. She was detailed and did an excellent job handling several big projects including a challenging renovation in the Hamptons, and helping me shift around the staff at my apartment. These two projects were not small tasks.

I am truly grateful for all of your help. "

RR, PR Principal

"Personable, smart and with a brilliant eye toward organization, she has gotten my work space into perfect order. I have received thousands of dollars in insurance reimbursement thanks to her efficient organization and submission of claims. I have enjoyed Brooke’s company, but have also felt completely comfortable having her work in my home when I have other places to be. It’s been a perfect fit."

JB, Clinical Psychologist

"We had a wonderful experience using our assistant. Our assistant was very punctual, organized and multi-talented. She did everything from run important errands for us to creating an entree for dinner. She was a pleasure to work with and very low maintenance. Our assistant definitely gave me more time to focus on my job and children."

JK, Managing Partner, Hedge Fund

"Sarah is amazing. I am a mother of two who works full-time and sits on two boards. My days are extremely busy, and I am constantly juggling tasks. I could not make it all work without Sarah. She is organized, efficient, thoughtful, and smart. She also has a beautiful sense of style, which has come in handy with tasks such as ordering personal stationery and purchasing small gifts. Thanks for connecting us!"

LA, Owner of Consulting Firm for Not-for-Profits

"So what does "lambent" mean? Dictionary.com gives three definitions: running or moving lightly over a surface (e.g., lambent tongues of flame); dealing lightly and gracefully with a subject, brilliantly playful (lambent wit); softly bright or radiant (a lambent light). Running. Moving lightly. Gracefully. Radiant. All these words aptly describe the service you will receive from this eponymous company. From household errands to computer spreadsheets, Lambent Services offers more of the most valuable commodity in your life: time."

DR, Trial Attorney

"Jake and Leslie are both first class! We couldn't be making the progress we have made in getting our new place in order without their enthusiasm, patience and hard work. We look forward to their continued assistance"

SB, Clinical Psychologist

"I am extremely happy with the services provided to me by Lambent. I am a very busy, divorced attorney, working 6-7 days a week, and just do not have the time or the interest in keeping up with what it takes to run a household or deal with the many non-work administrative matters we all face. My stress level has declined considerably since I began using an assistant from Lambent. She cheerfully accomplishes all of the tasks I assign her, quickly and competently. And I appreciate the flexibility which allows me to let Lambent know any time I want to end the relationship or get a new assistant, although I have no plans to do either. The service is a godsend for busy people."

DR, Employment Trial Attorney

“My Lambent Services assistant is a miracle. Utterly reliable and helpful, she has excellent judgment. She can figure anything out. She is clever, resourceful, self-confident, and always pleasant. I don't know what we did before she started working with us, so completely do we depend on her.”

JH, Editor-in-Chief, Online Magazine

“I am happier now than I was before I met my new assistant. I realized there are things that I either don’t want to do or can’t do, and some of them are important. After meeting with Jennifer I now have a plan.”

LJ, Public Relations Executive
