More often than not, unfortunately, people running a growing business don’t realize they need something until they needed it yesterday. Like assistance; you realize something isn’t working the way it should and hasn’t been long enough to eventually get your attention. That’s when you know you need that assistance, immediately. However, finding help is another task in itself. And tasks equal time. So how about you have fewer tasks to worry about and more time on your hands? It’s possible with virtual assistants.

Recruiting doesn’t have to be difficult for you.

YOU NEED HELP FINDING HELP

Did you know that the average length of the hiring process here in the US is 23 days? That’s almost a month of your professional time, spent trying to find someone to help you have more time. Silly. The average length of time to go from requesting a MyOutDesk VA(virtual assistant) to having one at your disposal, ready to work; is 14 days or less. That’s essentially 1 to 2 weeks, or, almost half the time as the other way.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but you aren’t in the business of wasting your own time. You’re in the business of growing your business, and we’re in the business of helping you do exactly that. So now let’s go over why letting MyOutDesk find the perfect match for you is the most efficient and effective way to get help.

OUR RECRUITMENT PROCESS

  1. The professionals apply through our careers page.
  2. We schedule them for an exam, specific to the field they applied in.
  3. Our recruitment specialists review the completed exams and make their selections.
  4. Those selected are scheduled for a Zoom interview with a recruiter.
  5. If approved, they are scheduled for a 2nd/final interview with a manager.
  6. If selected for hire, we begin the next phase…

VERIFICATION AND ON-BOARDING

  • Verify all provided references(3 professional, 2 personal) with FBI-grade background checks.
  • Verify their identity and location.
  • Run a system check of their computer and home network to ensure it meets our standards.
  • Place them in a pool categorized by experience and skillset. Ready for work.

HIRE THE HUMAN

As you can see our hiring process is very in-depth, despite the fact that we receive an average of 150 applicants per day. We’re also not just evaluating them based on their hard skills and experience but on other factors that have a meaningful effect on their eventual job placement. Like their personality, character, and perceived commitment and passions. We want to ensure that everyone we hire into our assistant pool is not just a skilled professional with relevant experience, but a good person who’s eager to work and excited to be a part of something.

People with the drive to be rockstars at their job, commitment to their responsibilities, and a positive, outgoing attitude that will mesh well with any office environment. We’re not just throwing assistants into any role at any business, simply because they can manage a spreadsheet or answer a phone. We’re placing hard-working, wonderful people with other hard-working, wonderful people. Because each and every assistant we assign to a company is a direct reflection of us.

OUR EXPERT IS YOUR ASSISTANT

As you can see, MyOutDesk takes the brunt of the hiring process so that you don’t have to. We take care of all the evaluating, testing, and verifying so that when you come to us for help, you know exactly what you’re getting, and fast. Not to mention, a lot of our assistants are graduates of a 4-year university, on top of years of relevant industry experience. These aren’t rookies coming in blind. On top of all that there is, of course, the matter of insurance, benefits, PTO, etc.

We take care of all of that too.

No need to worry about the cost of providing your virtual assistant with things like healthcare and time-off. That is all handled by us and through us. You just pay the agreed-upon flat rate for their services, ultimately saving you up to 70% of the cost if you had hired on your own. Not to toot our own horn or anything, but that’s a pretty sweet deal.

WE CAN HELP YOU HELP YOURSELF

In short; if your growing business needs help, then the quickest, most efficient way to get exactly the kind of help you need is via MyOutDesk virtual assistants. We handle all the parts of hiring(and supporting) professional talent so that you can focus on the other part; utilizing them to your benefit.
