Hiring a Virtual Assistant
We often get asked by clients to guide them through the process of hiring a virtual assistant. What questions to ask your virtual assistant; how much they should pay; what checks to make; what they should expect.
A lot of these questions are obvious to us, because we hire VAs all the time… But to an outsider hiring for the first time, it can be daunting handing your business over to someone else.
As an industry leading organisation, we want to make sure the hires you make are successful and convert you into a virtual assistant evangelist, spreading the word about what we do!
