Why You Need a VA A VA is a multitasker who juggles the daily business tasks and the dirty work so you can focus on growing your company. In many cases, the VA is the first employee you need to hire as they’ll increase your efficiency and help you recruit and manage the rest of the team. Working with a VA is also a good way to train yourself to delegate and practice giving clear instructions—a skill every leader must have. By earning your VA’s loyalty, you’ll have a partner to rely on in the face of adversity. You’ll be able to focus on the big problems, knowing the small ones are well handled and your company is continuously moving forward. Can a VA do that? Yes. Let’s take a few examples: 1- Shopify/logistics: If you run a store on Shopify, your VA can manage the inventory and the logistics and ensure orders fulfillment. 2- Product scouting: For many businesses, a VA can screen the market to obtain new products for your portfolio. 3- Travel/Schedule Reminders: If you hate to manage your schedule or need to find the most affordable flight ticket, your VA can handle it. 4- Sales DMing: Given clear instructions, your VA can make cold calls and reach out to potential prospects who might want to schedule a meeting with you. 5- Product onboarding: Especially for a software product, you’ll need your VA to onboard new customers and demonstrate the product features to them. 6- Executive assistant: The VA is also a great executive assistant that can take care of tasks such as data entry, research, managing your email, or taking meeting notes. How to Hire a VA Besides being a culture fit and having good English and communication skills, how can you distinguish the right candidate? Keep an eye out for: - Organizational skills: The main purpose of delegating is to free your mind and time, so don’t hire someone you’ll need to babysit. Find a self-reliable VA that knows how to organize their tasks and get their job done without your help. - Technical skill: You might need your VA to arrange a meeting, manage an event, book tickets, or research potential affiliates. All this requires computer and web skills. If you’re working with a specific CRM software or eCommerce platform (such as Zendesk or Shopify) you need a VA who’s familiar with them. - Industry-awareness: As a product specialist, the VA must understand your industry and know how to get around with vendors and other business partners. Since VAs work on a wide range of tasks, they tend to have diverse skill sets, so be clear about your goals and expectations during the interviews (and in the job post). Don’t shy away from giving your candidates a relative task. It can be as simple as doing an internet search or transcribing an audio file. Let’s Recap Unless you want to spend your days doing menial work that stresses you out, you need a VA. Finding the right VA requires paying close attention to the hiring process.

25 new requisitions all in 1 day? 🤯 Yep, that was my Monday. 🤷‍♀️ If you’re in #recruitment or #talentaquisition, you may have experienced that "OMG how will I have time?!" feeling. 😅 When I first started my recruiting career 6 years ago in a high volume staffing firm, sometimes that high pressure made me want to run for the hills🏃🏻‍♀️(not literally, but maybe to the stairwell for a quick panic moment). 🫣 But I quickly learned that with a strong recruitment strategy, it doesn’t have to feel impossible. You can even keep your sanity intact all while maintaining a work-life balance. Here are a few tips and tricks I’ve incorporated into my strategy that have helped me keep my #confidence and stay on track: 🌟 𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐉𝐨𝐛 𝐃𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: This is your gateway to find the right talent. If it's not engaging, who will take it seriously? Highlight the day-to-day tasks, what they’ll gain, key benefits, and more. 🤖 𝐀𝐈 𝐓𝐨𝐨𝐥𝐬: Leverage AI-powered sourcing tools like HireEZ and SeekOut to efficiently identify and receive alerts about available talent globally. 🎥 𝐎𝐧-𝐃𝐞𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐀𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐬: HireVue has been a game-changer for streamlining screening and evaluation processes, but this does NOT replace the candidate experience. Train your managers to use it effectively for easy collaboration. 💬 𝐀𝐬𝐲𝐧𝐜𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐬 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧: Lean on tools like Slack, Zoom, Loom, or Microsoft Teams to facilitate flexible communication between team members and managers. 🏆 𝐒𝐡𝐨𝐰𝐜𝐚𝐬𝐞 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐂𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞: Give an authentic glimpse of your company culture by sharing employee testimonials, video job descriptions, day-in-the-life videos, etc. 📈 𝐃𝐚𝐭𝐚-𝐃𝐫𝐢𝐯𝐞𝐧 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐢𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬: Share talent market data from LinkedIn Talent Insights and TalentNeuron to influence hiring decisions and educate managers on the competition and how to remain competitive. 🌟𝐎𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐭𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬: Highlight relevant benefits that matter to your candidates, such as remote work options, flexible schedules, or wellness programs. 🤝 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 𝐂𝐚𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞: Ensure every candidate feels valued with timely updates, personalized communication, and feedback. And yes, even no update is STILL an update. To me, a strong recruitment strategy is all about adaptability, having an open mind, and being able to pivot. Since I started 6 years ago, my process has evolved annually to help me stay current with #industrytrends and #bestpractices. Just take a deep breath, assess the situation, and prioritize accordingly. You got this! ————————— Hi, I’m Casey 👋 + Talent Acquisition Specialist & People Enthusiast + Remote Work Advocate + Follow for more TA/Recruiting tips 👩‍💻 #TalentAcquisition #Recruiting #RemoteWork

IF YOU CANT TALK ABOUT IT, DON’T WRITE ABOUT IT As a recruiter more often than not we see skills in the technical section of a resume and we sometimes wonder if that candidate has actually worked all of those skills. Qualifying a candidate based on their resume and skills is an important part of a recruiters job, while most recruiters are not going to be experts on every skill that is listed on a resume, as a recruiter it is our job to make sure that we match the skills on the resume with the required skills of the position that we are recruiting for. As a candidate for a position and submitting your resume to that position, it is very important that you are able to talk to the skills that you have listed. It is important that the skills you have listed are shown in the positions that you held and how you used them. A lot of time can be wasted on the recruiter side if we have to reach out to the candidate to ask them to update their resume to show how they used those particular skills. In other words, don’t put a skill on your resume if you have only been familiar with or have knowledge of, unless you state that in your skills list. When you don’t do this, the recruiter will spend more time than necessary to qualify you and in the end, if you can’t talk about it, don’t write about it.
