How do you assess attention to detail in the hiring process? 12 years ago, while running my very first Vector office in Conroe, TX, I needed to hire Recruiting Assistants/Receptionists. One of the main duties required being able to read a script and follow clear directions. As I made my job post, I added very specific instructions: - Apply to the job post (READ CAREFULLY) - Call my google number at XXX-XXX-XXXX - Leave a voicemail stating your name and phone number TWO TIMES From there, it was very easy to narrow my candidate pool. Today, I do something a little similar and add "If interested, please reach out to me at (email address) with (Job Title) in the subject line." It's a small thing, but with hundreds of applicants applying each week, prioritizing those who follow direction makes my job a little easier.

What exactly is a Virtual Assistant? Also known as a VA, a Virtual Assistant is an individual who supports businesses remotely. VAs can take on a whole range of tasks, from basic admin to social media management and tech support, depending on their area of expertise or niche. A VA might be right for your business if: ⭐ You don't have the resources or enough work to hire staff ⭐ You need additional support on a project ⭐ The support you need is variable: you might need 30 hours one month and only 5 the following month ⭐ You're nervous about hiring staff that may not suit your business or be as good as you hoped ⭐ Business is rapidly increasing and you don't have time right now to go through a hiring process Find out more about the benefits of hiring a Virtual Assistant: https://lnkd.in/eKBCXMSj

🤔 Thinking about hiring an administrative assistant? Discover the signs that it’s time to bring in some help in our latest blog post! 📋✨ www.thompsonvea.com #BusinessTips #AdminSupport #EfficiencyBoost #newblogpost

I recently saw a tweet where someone shared their joy about hiring a virtual assistant. “He said, ‘I spent money to buy my time back,’” and it brought a huge grin to my face. Though I’m not his VA, it made me reflect on the power of our industry. Busy professionals, especially managers and C-suite executives, often get buried in tasks that steal focus from the bigger picture. They need extra hands. Here’s what hiring a VA does: ➡️ Reduces workload ➡️ Lightens the burden ➡️ Gives more time to focus on what truly matters This is why that tweet resonated so deeply with me. It’s not just about saving time—it’s about getting your life back. A quick question: Are you ready to buy your time back? Don’t wait. Hire a VA today—you deserve it! 😊

Opportunity

Overworked and stressed—until I hired a VA. I used to handle everything on my own, but hiring a virtual assistant has freed up time for both my business and personal life. How about you?
