Process to Match Clients with an Ideal Virtual Assistant

Every Client is unique so we perform a detailed assessment to determine where a VA can take over tasks and functions that are critical to free up your time so that you can focus on your highest return activities. We ensure your new VA is a match and fit for your industry, requirements and personality.

Signature Client Assessment Process

We have a proven audit to get full clarity on:

  • What low-value, current activities are consuming your time
  • What higher-value tasks are on the “radar” that you want to be engaging and how a VA can accelerate those initiatives
  • What tasks are most critical for moving your business forward
  • What specialized tasks are you currently paying for where we can provide more affordable, high-quality solutions

  • We conduct a client briefing and internal interview to determine interest match with the best-fit VA candidates
  • We select the top candidate for your specific needs and arrange an interview

Onboarding & Deployment
