The Steele Recruiting Executive Assistant Dream Team is an invitation-only group of highly accomplished executive support professionals available for select interim and project-based assignments throughout the Minneapolis-St. Paul area.

This is not an entry-level contract opportunity. Dream Team members are seasoned professionals who can step into a sophisticated executive environment, quickly understand what needs to be done, establish trust and begin adding value immediately.
