- Runs the day-to-day of the office: vendors, supplies, space and equipment.
- Onboards new hires and keeps office processes working.
- Often handles basic bookkeeping, HR paperwork or events.
Why the right hire matters
- Order. Vendors, supplies, space and equipment are handled by one person.
- Onboarding. New hires start with a desk, accounts and paperwork ready.
- Cost control. Someone watches the small spending that adds up.
What do we screen office managers for?
- Experience running an office of a similar size
- Comfort handling vendors, budgets and competing requests
- References from past employers, checked before you meet them
- A commute to your office they can keep up
- Interview against your job description
- References from past employers
- Work history and dates
- A commute to your office they can keep up
- Background check, with the candidate's consent
This is recruiter screening. Your own hiring checks still apply.
What does an office manager earn?
It depends on where the job is. Three things move pay from state to state.
Cost of living
Pay tends to sit above the national average in high-cost states and metros, and below it where living costs are lower.
Local demand
Where more employers are hiring for a role than there are candidates, offers rise.
On-site, hybrid or remote
On-site roles are priced by the local market. Remote roles draw on a wider pool, which changes what candidates expect.
