What Office Jobs Are Hiring Near Me, and How Do I Get One?
Published on: Sep 29, 2026
Most office jobs hiring near you fall into a short list of titles: administrative assistant, executive assistant, receptionist, customer service representative, data entry clerk, and office manager. Frontline Source Group, with 5,619 placements since 2004, fills these roles on contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire terms, and every direct hire carries the 5-Year Placement Warranty.
Frontline is a Forbes Best Professional Recruiting Firm for 9 consecutive years (2018 to 2026), ranked #148 on the Forbes Best Executive Recruiting Firms list for 2026, a 9-time ClearlyRated Best of Staffing winner for both Client and Talent satisfaction, a ClearlyRated Diamond Award recipient, an Inc. 5000 honoree, and an Expertise.com Best Staffing Agency. The firm is a member of the American Staffing Association (ASA), holds a 5.0-star Trustpilot rating across 676 verified reviews, and places office professionals from 32 plus offices nationwide.
This guide covers which office roles are open, what they pay, how to get in front of employers before a job is ever posted, and how to spot a fake offer.
What office jobs are hiring near me right now?
The answer is surprisingly similar from city to city. Administrative and executive assistants, receptionists and front desk coordinators, customer service representatives, data entry and general office clerks, HR assistants, and office managers make up most of the openings. A law firm and an engineering company may call the front desk job by different names, but the work underneath is the same.
Here is the part that surprises people. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projects employment of secretaries and administrative assistants to decline 2 percent from 2025 to 2035, and it still expects about 314,400 openings for those jobs every year over the decade. BLS attributes all of those openings to replacing people who move into other occupations or leave the workforce. The jobs are there. They just open one desk at a time, inside companies you may already drive past, and they go to whoever is ready when the seat comes open.
Which office roles pay the most?
Pay climbs with responsibility and with specialized knowledge. Executive assistants who support senior leaders earn well above general administrative roles, and legal administrative work pays more than the admin average because of the terminology involved.
| Office role | Median annual pay, May 2025 |
|---|---|
| Administrative services and facilities managers | $110,500 |
| Executive secretaries and executive administrative assistants | $76,590 |
| Legal secretaries and administrative assistants | $55,570 |
| Bookkeeping, accounting, and auditing clerks | $50,670 |
| Secretaries and administrative assistants (all) | $48,310 |
| Medical secretaries and administrative assistants | $45,930 |
| General office clerks | $45,010 |
| Customer service representatives | $44,770 |
| Receptionists | $38,010 |

Where is office hiring still growing?
Medical office administration is the one assistant category BLS expects to grow, up 5 percent from 2025 to 2035, and healthcare and social assistance already employ 32 percent of all secretaries and administrative assistants. Executive assistant employment is projected to hold roughly flat. The decline is concentrated in general administrative assistant roles, which BLS ties to AI and digital tools that let more managers prepare their own documents and calendars. The takeaway for a job seeker: the more specialized your skills, the more options you will have.
Which office job fits your experience?
Picking the right title matters more than sending more applications. Aim one step above what you have done, not three.
If you are new to office work
Start with receptionist, general office clerk, data entry, or customer service roles. BLS lists a high school diploma or equivalent as the typical entry-level education for all four, and general office clerks usually learn the job through short-term on-the-job training. A contract assignment is a practical way in, and BLS points out that temporary placement agencies may also offer training in word processing, spreadsheet, and database software.
If you have a few years behind you
Look at administrative assistant, office coordinator, HR assistant, bookkeeping clerk, and legal administrative assistant roles. Put the specifics on your resume: the calendars you managed, the software you used every day, the vendors you handled, and the reports you built. A recruiter reading "handled scheduling for a 12-person sales team in Outlook and Salesforce" knows where you fit. "Detail-oriented team player" does not tell them anything.
If you are ready to lead
Executive assistant, office manager, and operations manager roles are the next rung. BLS notes that executive assistants typically need several years of related administrative experience, and administrative services and facilities managers earned a May 2025 median of $110,500. Frontline handles senior office leadership searches through its administrative executive search practice.
How do I find office jobs near me beyond the job boards?
Job boards are fine for seeing what is out there. They are a weak way to get hired, because every posting draws a pile of applicants and plenty of office roles never get posted at all.
Search by title, not by "office jobs"
Type the actual title plus your city: "executive assistant Dallas" or "receptionist Phoenix." Set a commute radius you can live with, and filter by contract, contract-to-hire, or direct hire so you are not reading listings that do not fit your situation.
Get your resume into a recruiter's database
Frontline does not post every position on its website. Many are filled by matching candidates already in the talent database, using AI matching software alongside recruiter review. If your resume is not in that database, you are not in the running for those roles. Upload it once at frontlinesourcegroup.com/how-to-apply.html, and a Frontline recruiter reviews every resume that comes in. Recruiters also look you up on LinkedIn, so it is worth reading the LinkedIn Job Search Playbook before you apply.
Have your materials ready before the call
Keep a current resume in Word or PDF, a short list of references who expect a call, and an honest list of the software you know well. Frontline uses skills testing to confirm what candidates can do, and its interview instructions walk you through what to expect. If a role asks for a cover letter, these cover letter tips will help you keep it short and specific.
Should I take a temp, contract-to-hire, or direct hire office job?
It depends on what you need most right now: income, experience, or long-term stability.
- Contract (temporary): Project work, leave coverage, or busy-season help. Good for building recent experience, trying a new industry, or getting back into the workforce after time away.
- Contract-to-hire: You start on contract and the employer can make you a permanent offer once both sides know the fit is right. You get to evaluate the company too.
- Direct hire: The company hires you as a permanent employee from day one. Frontline backs every direct hire with its 5-Year Placement Warranty, 20 times longer than the 90-day guarantee that is standard in the industry, which tells you how seriously the firm takes the match.

Is it free to use a staffing agency to find an office job?
At Frontline Source Group, yes. Job seekers never pay a fee, and all placement fees are paid by the company doing the hiring. Any firm that asks you to pay to be placed in a job is a red flag.
Frontline also never sends your resume to an employer without calling you first. A recruiter talks through the role with you, and only with your approval does your information go to the client. Before that happens you complete a phone screen and an interview with a Frontline recruiter, and your professional references are verified. That process is a big part of why Frontline keeps a 98.94% executive placement retention rate against an industry average of 70 percent.
How can I tell if an office job offer is a scam?
Scammers like ordinary job titles, and assistant roles are an easy fit. A few checks will catch most fake offers:
- Look at the email domain. Frontline Source Group staff only use @frtline.com addresses. A "Frontline recruiter" writing from Gmail or another free email account is not from Frontline.
- Never pay to get a job. No legitimate staffing firm asks candidates for a fee, asks you to buy equipment, or sends you a check to deposit and pay back.
- Watch the location. Frontline only places people in jobs in the United States and does not place candidates in foreign countries.
- Verify before you share personal details. To confirm that a recruiter works for Frontline, or to report a suspected scam, email legal@frtline.com.
