More and more companies are moving to a remote model of hiring because virtual assistants are the way of the future. But, how can you be sure the VA you hire has the skills you need? Besides creeping on their profile, you need to do a thorough job of interviewing them. You’ll want to build a creative brief for a trial task that you’ll give to your top 2 to 3 applicants. The brief should be a medium task, and the task you give them should be as close to what they’d be doing on a regular basis! Vetting the briefs really gives you an opportunity to get to know the candidate's work and determine if they'd be a good fit.
