At Virtual Gurus, we have successfully supported hundreds of clients struggling to manage their day-to-day business tasks. We know how to organize your business for success, and finding the right virtual assistant has never been easier. Here’s how you can find and hire a virtual assistant using Virtual Gurus Talentplace, our custom-built, all-in-one collaboration tool.
List all the tasks you need help with, along with the skills and technical knowledge required to complete them. Do you need a social media and digital marketing expert? Or perhaps someone skilled in data entry or bookkeeping?
If you’re unsure what type of tasks to delegate to a virtual assistant, we can help you identify them. We have extensive experience helping clients identify the tasks that are keeping them bogged-down and how they can leverage them more effectively.

After listing tasks and required skills, consider the personality, attitude, and time management abilities of your ideal virtual assistant. Soft skills are just as important as hard skills, so think about which type of assistant would best compliment your personality and team dynamic. Working with a virtual assistant works best when you incorporate them into your team’s culture and overall business processes.
Understanding and identifying the combination of soft skills, hard skills, and remote working styles that best match your needs is crucial when looking to hire a virtual assistant. This ensures a successful working relationship that helps your business thrive.
