How to hire and manage a virtual assistant to improve your business and reduce burnout

Executives, CEOs, and business owners struggle with burnout just like any other employee–even more so. Hiring a virtual assistant (VA) can improve your work-life balance, reduce administrative burden, and let you get back to growing your business.

The question is, how to choose the right person for the job?

There is no degree, certification, or formal VA training. Some people have decades of experience, while others just have a knack for the job. Plus, a lot of what makes an effective VA is how well their skills and personality complements the unique needs and personality of the person hiring. Without the ability to review a portfolio or conduct a test, it’s difficult to gauge whether someone will be a great VA for you.

This guide aims to help you evaluate your virtual assistant candidates and choose the right person for you and your business.
