How a Virtual Assistant can help with Recruitment

Recruitment of staff can be very time consuming, particularly with the new employment legislation.

Involving a Virtual Assistant from the start can free up valuable time. A VA can draft the advert, place it in suitable media and newspapers, ensure a job description and any application forms are sent out, they can also liaise with recruitment agencies on your behalf.

If you provide a Virtual Assistant with specific criteria, they can match CVs, meaning that the initial sift is done for you, arrange candidate interviews and any testing that may be necessary.

They can ensure that any necessary employment checks, such as a Criminal Records Bureau (CRB) are carried out, contact references and send out any offer letters and contracts when needed.

Virtual Assistants can organise to get copies of the relevant documents needed to comply with Employment Legislation, for example ensuring that the candidate has a right to work in the UK.
