The Access Virtual Staffing Hiring Process: How We Match You with the Right VA
Running a business is demanding. As a business owner, entrepreneur, or leader, you already know that time is your most valuable resource. That’s why hiring a Virtual Assistant (VA) is one of the smartest investments you can make. But here’s the key it’s not about hiring just any VA, it’s about hiring the right VA for you.
At Access Virtual Staffing (AVS), we’ve created a process that ensures every client is matched with a reliable, hardworking VA who not only gets the job done but also aligns with your standards, values, and goals.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: We Listen First
We start by asking the most important question: What do you need?
Every business is unique. Some need help with administrative tasks, others with social media management, customer support, or lead generation. Our team takes the time to understand your priorities, pain points, and expectations before we even begin the search.
Step 2: Define Your Standards and Qualifications
We don’t believe in “one-size-fits-all.” Instead, we make sure your VA fits into your workflow, your culture, and your long-term vision.
We look at:
The skills and experience required for your industry
Your preferred work style and communication methods
Your values, standards, and beliefs that matter in building a team
Step 3: We Search and Screen
Once we know what you’re looking for, we dive into our network of talented VAs. Each candidate goes through a screening process that checks for:
Technical proficiency in the tasks you need
Strong communication and time-management skills
A proven track record of being reliable and goal-driven
Step 4: Culture and Vibe Check
This is where we go deeper. Beyond skills, we focus on personality and alignment. We make sure your VA is not just capable, but also a good fit for your vibe because shared values and beliefs create a stronger working relationship.
Step 5: Match and Onboard
We present you with the best-fit candidate(s), then guide you through onboarding to ensure a smooth transition. From day one, your VA knows your priorities and is ready to start adding value.
Step 6: Ongoing Support
Our relationship doesn’t end at hiring. At AVS, we provide ongoing support to make sure both you and your VA succeed. We’re here to step in if you need adjustments, additional support, or if your business grows and you need more help.
Why This Matters
Hiring the right VA is more than just filling a role it’s about building a partnership that frees you from burnout and helps you scale. At AVS, we take pride in matching you with someone who works hard, cares about your business, and shares your vision.
The best VAs doesn’t just “do the work" they proactively improve your workflow, anticipate your needs, and become key players in your business. Invest in them, and they’ll multiply your results.
