Job Description

Are you a polished administrative professional who wants meaningful, high‑end work without the commitment of a traditional full‑time role? Whether you thrive behind the scenes as an Executive Assistant or love being the warm, welcoming face of a front desk, we’re building our pipeline of temporary and contract support professionals across New York.

This posting is not for one specific job. We partner with multiple clients, primarily in Private Equity and Alternative Investments, who regularly need:

  • Maternity leave covers
  • Interim or transition support
  • Short‑term absences
  • Team floaters and front‑desk floaters
  • High‑volume, fast‑paced coverage needs

These roles are perfect for people who want variety, control over their schedules, and the ability to take on polished, professional work while balancing other goals.

The Roles:

Temporary Receptionists (Front‑of‑House Float & Contract)

We’re also seeking polished front‑of‑house professionals who deliver an elevated guest experience. You do not need prior corporate receptionist experience - we welcome candidates from:

  • Luxury retail
  • Hospitality
  • Airlines/aviation
  • High‑end fitness
  • Client‑facing creative studios
  • Any service‑driven environment where polished, warm interaction is key

Assignments range from a few days to several months, with many becoming recurring or Perm!

Typical Reception Responsibilities

  • Greeting guests and managing check‑ins
  • Handling a multi‑line phone system
  • Coordinating couriers, deliveries, and vendor access
  • Managing conference room calendars
  • Supporting printing, scanning, and administrative overflow
  • Maintaining tidy, well‑presented common areas
  • Assisting with hospitality, catering, or light facilities needs

Pay & Benefits

Receptionists: $20–$30 per hour, depending on experience

All temporary talent receives:

  • Short‑term, long‑term, and recurring assignment opportunities
  • Ability to design your own schedule
  • Paid training days
  • Daily perks and hospitality offered by many clients
  • Ongoing support from the Joss Search temp team
  • Exposure to world‑class firms

The Ideal Candidate

You’ll be a strong fit if you are:

  • Professional, polished, and naturally welcoming
  • Comfortable in fast‑paced, client‑facing corporate environments
  • Organized, proactive, and detail‑oriented
  • Confident juggling shifting priorities
  • Skilled in scheduling, travel logistics, or front‑of‑house service
  • Open to gaining or expanding Private Equity experience
  • Interested in flexible, polished work that fits around other commitments

These opportunities are especially great for client‑focused service professionals and creatives (actors, performers, writers, artists) seeking steady, professional supplemental income.
