Matchmaking + Recruiting
I’ve helped 175+ clients on 5 continents and 12+ countries to find and hire incredible assistants, social media managers, and other service providers. You could be next!
Choose Your Level of Engagement
Option 1:
I will 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. This is great for those on a budget or those with the confidence/time to manage the rest of the hiring process.
Option 2:
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:
I will provide everything in the standard and premium packages, and I will also provide onboarding support. I will set up a basic ClickUp project management board. I will conduct an onboarding call with the two of you. I will also provide a 1-hour coaching call to your new hire to uplevel skills.
My 6-Step Process
If you are ready for option 2, where I manage the entire hiring process, here’s what that looks like. 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).
