ABOUT ROBINSON KELLY

An understanding of the work.
A thoughtful approach to the match.

Robinson Kelly is a boutique recruitment firm focused on the people who help leaders, households, and organizations operate at their best.

Based in New York City, we recruit for executive, personal, and administrative support roles across industries. Our work begins with understanding how a position functions day to day—and what a successful partnership needs beyond a job description.

OUR FOUNDER

Joshua Joel

Founder & Principal


Built from firsthand experience.

Joshua brings firsthand experience in executive support and office management to Robinson Kelly. He understands the judgment, discretion, and follow-through these roles require—and the trust that develops when the right person is in place.

That perspective informs how we listen to employers, speak with candidates, and evaluate a potential match. We look at responsibilities and capabilities alongside working styles, communication, and the expectations that shape a lasting partnership.

Joshua personally oversees every search, giving clients a direct relationship with the person guiding the process.

THE MINDSET BEHIND OUR WORK

Anticipate. Prepare.
Coordinate. Follow through.

The habits of exceptional executive support also guide how we recruit. We prepare both sides before they meet, coordinate the details, and keep the conversation moving with care.

Attention to context

A title tells only part of the story. We take time to understand the person being supported, the environment, and the priorities behind the hire.

Respect for both sides

Employers and candidates deserve preparation, discretion, and clear communication. We treat each introduction as the beginning of a professional relationship.

Personal accountability

Principal involvement keeps the search connected—from the initial conversation through interviews, decisions, and next steps.

Let’s talk about the partnership you need.

Whether you’re making a first support hire or strengthening an established team, we’d welcome a conversation.
