Administrative Officers make sure their offices run smoothly. Some of their main tasks include
managing supplies stock, organizing company filing systems and preparing reports (e.g. office
expenses and budgets.)

Successful candidates are experienced in office procedures and equipment and may have worked
as Office Managers or Administrative Assistants. Keep an eye out for professionals who like to take
initiative and seek ways to improve daily operations. It’s best to hire reliable people who can be
the point-of-contact for all employees.

For this role, look for highly-organized people who can multitask. Facilitate your screening process
by asking questions that reveal how candidates manage stressful situations and meet deadlines. If
necessary, include a test to evaluate candidates’ skills in MS Word and MS Excel, or other
programs you use.
