Hire a Virtual Assistant at Connected Women

You can give your VA any tasks that can be carried out remotely over an internet connection. Most entrepreneurs or small business owners are looking for someone to take care of day-to-day administrative tasks and customer relationship management.

This could include answering general enquiry emails, calendar management and meeting scheduling, research, bookkeeping, social media management. You can also look for an administrative assistant online with specific specialised skills.

After the interview and the trial period, you will work directly with your virtual assistant. We will provide an onboarding pack with best practice tips for hiring, training and managing your virtual personal assistant.

We also have options for onboarding support to set you up with the right tools and systems to effectively work remotely with your VA if you need it. Connected Women is ready to assist you in your virtual assistant needs — whether basic or professional onboarding.

The agreement about working hours and overtime is agreed directly with your VA. As long as you are specific about what you need, we will help you find a virtual assistant match who is able to work the hours you require.

You may choose to offer your VA days off based on her local public holidays, or align with your local public holidays, as long as you are clear about the operational requirements of your business.

If you require a virtual assistant who is able to make outbound calls on your behalf, be sure to let us know when you create your Entrepreneur Profile so that we can ensure that she has a suitable set up and environment that allows this.

For inbound calls, you will need to be set up to allow for calls to be routed to your virtual assistant. It is possible but not a common request for most of our customers. We can advise on a case-by-case basis.

You can hire a virtual assistant for full-time or part-time work. We recommend that entrepreneurs and small business owners work with their VA on a fixed schedule to make it easier for efficiency and collaboration.

Depending on where you are in the world, there may be different methods of payment available. Typically PayPal is the simplest and safest way to pay your VA.

The final agreement on payment methods and terms are agreed directly between you and your virtual assistant.
