KEY TAKEAWAYS 

• Ensure you have a detailed description of what you expect from your Virtual Assistant before you start the interview process.
• Explain the systems you use to confirm they know how to follow your processes.
• Connect with people who already use Virtual Assistants to learn more about their experiences and best practices.
• You can find your Virtual Assitant through Virtual Assistant agencies, through social media, or by looking at websites such as Fiverr and Upwork.
• Virtual Assistant agencies take a cut of the fee, but in return, they have a better understanding of their candidate’s skills and weaknesses. They will also be responsible for replacing a VA when necessary.
• If you wish to use a Virtual Assistant outside your country of residence, an agency will make the process much easier.
• When looking for a Virtual Assistant on sites like Fiverr, connect with them outside the platform to ensure their details are correct.
