Great Start was founded in 1974 as the first co-working company in Brazil, offering office services and temporary services to foreign companies starting in Brazil. Its founder, Astrid Rizzi, had worked as a secretary for eighteen years and had started six companies from scratch. At the same time, Great Start started a very specialized recruitment and placement service for executive assistants with fluent English and a high level professional profile, for large multinational and national companies. Since 1974, Great Start has established itself in the market as the best company to recruit high-level professionals. Specialized in the recruitment and placement of administrative professionals, Great Start also works in the areas of professional improvement (junior and senior level workshops), personalized outplacement, lectures and mentoring processes. When a foreign company starts in Brazil, there is a need for a very personalized assistance and Great Start is specialized and recommended for placing a top level executive secretary with fluent English and other languages, who would also be a PA (personal assistant) and eventually become an Office Manager. Astrid Rizzi is highly specialized in mentoring professionals of all levels, especially those requiring assistance to face new challenges and job interviews.
