Hiring doesn’t have to be exhausting.
I help overwhelmed businesses to find the right hires - not just another assistant who can only answer emails. You need a strategic partner that can anticipate needs and truly lighten your load. My human-centered process has already helped 175+ people in 12 countries to find fantastic hires. You could be next.
Does This Sound Familiar?
Hiring support should feel exciting. For most small business owners, however, it feels absolutely compressing when your schedule is already maxed out.
By the time people come to me, they’re usually:
Carrying the weight of the entire business alone
Working with an assistant who is sweet, helpful, but not truly strategic
Doing tasks their assistant should be doing
Unsure what they even need help with anymore. They just need help.
Dreading the emotional & time labor of hiring (for the first time or again)
If you have hired before, you’ve likely felt the sting of:
An assistant you have to micromanage to get anything done
Someone who waits to be told what to do
Someone who means well, but cannot actually lighten your load
An assistant who doesn’t have the skills you need
Most small business owners have never been taught how to hire, vet, or onboard well. And that’s ok! I’m with you every step of the way. Hiring doesn’t have to be so overwhelming.
Why Hiring Is So Hard
I’ve found that most small business owners don’t know how to:
Write a compelling job description that attracts quality candidates.
Communicate what exactly they need help with
Find great hires to even invite them to apply
Find time to sort through 100+ applications
Manage the overwhelm of emails, DM’s, text messages, and more that come in with every job posting
Automate the hiring process while also remaining deeply human-centered
Identify the strategic partners from the task-doers
Onboard their hires effectively to set the partnership up for success
Delegate and manage well
You are not alone in this! In fact, it remains one of the most common stressors for business owners. By working with me, you can breathe easy knowing an expert is managing the entire process so you can keep your business running smoothly.
Your hiring process is a key part of your marketing & brand identity.
A thoughtful, respectful process builds trust with applicants, with your audience, and with your future team. Every touchpoint sends a message about your values and how your company treats people. Let’s build a great first impression together.
See what applicants say when they experience one of our hiring processes
All of these comments are from people who were not hired for the role they applied for. This shows how thoughtful communication can turn a “no” into a positive experience for applicants. It also becomes a key part of your brand identity or how people view your company. In a world where applicants are unlikely to ever hear back about roles they apply for, this is a valuable opportunity to stand out, build rapport, and get them excited to potentially work with you. Studies show that hires perform significantly better, enjoy their work, and stay longer if they feel taken care of. That starts with the hiring process.
My 6-Step Process
This is my signature method, where many applicants have told me, “This was the best hiring process I’ve ever experienced” - EVEN if they were never hired. On the client side, it feels completely personalized and easy. My clients tell me they didn’t know hiring could be so effortless or that they could find the perfect fit for them. They walk away with business coaching and clarity woven in throughout the experience, so they are set up for success with their new hire from day one.
01
Hiring Clarity
The very first step is to identify the greatest needs you have in your business. What tasks do you need help with the most? What is the source of your overwhelm? What projects/skills are priority?
I like to have this conversation over Zoom to really get to the heart of your needs. This is perhaps the most crucial step because many will try to hire a virtual assistant, for example, without a clear understanding of what they even need help with. This means the right candidates are not being found and the person hired may not actually be a good fit at all.
I assess your personality traits, working style, location, tasks, skill-set needed, budget, and more.
02
Job Description
Once we have clarity on who we are looking for, I get to work on writing the job description.
This is often overlooked and replaced by a simple social media post with a lot of missing elements. Crafting the post with the right information will attract more qualified and interested candidates.
In fact, I often get applications that say something like, “Your job description got me so excited to apply! I could tell this would be the kind of role I would love.” I want them to feel YOU as they read it.
The best part about this is that all you have to do is show up on Zoom for the above call and approve the job description after I write it. I handle it all. You share the vision, I make it happen.
03
Application Portal
Another oversight I often see is neglecting to set up the back end of the search process so it's streamlined. Instead, you may have a backlog of emails, social comments, and DM’s to sift through, creating instant overwhelm.
I have a very clear system in place for people to apply, so everything gets funneled to a single location.
I also build in checkpoints along the way so every candidate feels taken care of. Every time I do this, applicants tell me what an enjoyable experience it was, even if they were never hired. In a world where you may never hear back after completing an application, this builds instant rapport with you and your candidates.
04
The Search Begins
Having done this 175+ times, I’ve built a large network of excellent service providers (over 2k). In fact, many of them have said they watch for job openings from my clients specifically because they know it will be a great experience, and I do a lot of work to prepare my clients and their hires for success. One even told me they will only work for my clients because I vet and prepare them so well.
I promote the position in several places (not all may apply to your specific role): my email list, social media, Facebook ads, classifieds, sometimes Fiverr/Upwork, and more.
We usually get at least 50+ people to apply (sometimes 200+), depending on the role.
05
Vetting + Interviewing
Most of my clients have a freeze response when it comes to choosing who to meet and hire. To date, I’ve reviewed 8k+ portfolios/resumes/applications, specifically for virtual assistants, social media managers, and other freelancers. This means I can quickly identify the top candidates for your role and your needs.
I do review every application that comes through as part of my efforts to take care of everyone, top to bottom. I then invite my favorites to a screening interview to get to know them better.
From there, we usually have a clear 2-5 candidates that I think you should meet. I often join these final calls, and then I help my client evaluate the pros and cons of each before making a final decision.
06
Onboarding
The #1 indicator of success when working with an assistant is: onboarding. Without an intentional process in place, the relationship may struggle from the beginning.
That's why I have a package that includes this support as part of the experience. It includes:
Basic ClickUp set up to get your project management system going.
An onboarding call with you, me, and your new hire.
A 60-minute coaching session for your new hire to help them uplevel any skills and prepare them for working with you.
Individual results may vary. Testimonials and experiences described here may or may not be achieved. Ultimately, it is up to you to foster a working environment where your hire feels valued. I cannot guarantee how long your hire will remain working with you, even if many of my clients build long-term partnerships with their hires (many of whom are still together 4+ years later).
Choose Your Level of Engagement
Option 1: Standard Package $400
This package is for those who are on a budget and have the confidence/time to manage the hiring process on their own. They just need great candidates sent their way.
I’ll write an eye-catching job description based on your specific needs, create an applicant portal, and promote it to my extensive network. We usually get 100+ people to apply, with 1/4 of them fitting the role well. I send the applicants to you to review and you take it from there!
Option 2: Premium Package $1,100
This is for those who want to pass off the entire process and just show up to meet the final top candidates. A great option if you don’t need onboarding support.
I will do everything in the standard package plus vet all applicants, screen candidates, and manage all communication (denials, acceptance offer, answering inquiries + more). I will also help you decide which person is a good fit for you, specifically, and join final interviews with you and the best applicants.
Option 3: Elite Package $1,500
This is for those who want everything in the previous packages PLUS the onboarding support. Learn how to avoid pitfalls and thrive with your new hire.
This includes conducting a 1-hour coaching call, conducting a getting started call with you and your new hire, and setting up a basic project management board (or task list) so you are prepared to delegate well. I also provide a 1-hour coaching call for your new hire to uplevel any skills and prepare them to support you..
What Clients Are Saying
“I love working with my assistant! She is great at her job, flexible and I love when she brings ideas to the table. I've gotten so much ROI from this purchase and I highly recommend Megan and her assistant's program to anyone wanting to up-level their business.” Rebecca Shugart
"The truth is, if it weren't for what Megan offers, I wouldn't have re-engaged in my business, maybe ever again. I found Megan who connected me to my current assistant. My business and my personal life balance have never been more peaceful. I can't recommend Megan enough and will forever be grateful for her brilliance!" - Chelsea Stevens
“The entire process - finding, interviewing, hiring, onboarding, and training an assistant - was so easy, because Megan does almost all of it for you. She has an eye for spotting talent and potential candidates with strong executing strengths. On top of that, she has an impeccable instinct for matching personality types that work well together. Megan works quickly, she’s positive, well-organized, honest, straight-forward, reassuring… everything I needed to make this easy for me. Thank you, Megan!” - Amy Glenn
“We couldn't have asked for a better experience working with Megan. We weren't sure exactly what we were looking for, and Megan guided us through the entire process. It was incredibly helpful and seamless. She's professional, kind, and a pleasure to interact with. Highly recommend working with Megan.” - Spencer & Laura Pettit
Working with Megan to find an assistant that really matches well with me and my needs and who I am was the highlight of this experience. She has a knack for matching business partners up according to their personalities, likes, strengths and needs. I found two amazing assistants through working with Megan. Megan, I’m forever in your debt!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" - Leah Karratti
“ I knew I needed an assistant. I knew I needed help in my business. I knew I needed organization. But I had NO idea how to put it together. I had no idea where to start looking or how to even interview someone once I did find them. Megan took all of that off my shoulders. She was able to find the perfect candidate for me. I am so much more productive and creative this year, and it is all because of having the help I knew I needed. I am organized, and creative.” - Angela Villa
“I understand the overwhelm of just going through the process of hiring and then training an assistant!!! It definitely makes the whole process MUCH easier by doing it through Megan. I was hesitant, not knowing if it would work for me, because I had specific needs (I needed my assistant to be bilingual)! She had to speak Spanish, but it worked out for me!” - Lu Bornacini
“Megan has been such a godsend! Not only did she set up interviews very quickly with several potential VAs that matched my wishlist, but she also guided me through the interview process by asking questions that I didn't even think about! Plus, when I found the perfect match for my business, not only was my new assistant skilled, but she also came to the table with ideas to get started right away.” Jenna Dancy
“You can't afford to NOT give Megan a call. As a business owner with previous management & operations experience, I was new to working with VA's. A totally different business mindset and approach is needed when working with independent contractors. Megan was able to guide me around finding the right working synergy with a VA.” - Jennifer Casani
You deserve real support.
Remember, you are not trying to hire “an extra set of hands”. You’re trying to bring someone in that will lighten your load, protect your time, and move your business forward. The good news is that you don’t have to do it alone!
