How to Hire a Virtual Assistant

Whether you want to hire a virtual assistant from a company, find someone on Upwork or hire someone local to you, these are all things to keep in mind when looking at hiring your own virtual assistant for your practice.

  • Document all these tasks that you do in your business on a regular basis. Start with the ones that could be done by someone else. This will help you easier see what you can delegate to someone else.
  • Start documenting your processes so you have them ready to train your virtual assistant. You can do this by video or use a Google doc.
  • Think about what type of services you would like: answering the phone, checking messages, etc.
  • Conduct an interview, be very clear about expectations, compare it to their experience level.
