We work as follows: Your CV (PS. If you don’t have a CV you can export your LinkedIn profile.) and application video plays a huge part in our interview process. CVs can say one thing, however, there’s nothing quite like a good ol’ fashioned video to give us the best idea of you, of the breadth and depth of your skills, aptitude and attitude. Once we have received all of this we will ask you to join our Recruiter on a Zoom call for a bit of a chat. This will give you an opportunity as well to better understand us and our processes and to identify if there is a synergy. If all of this fits in we will place you on our potential VA list.

Once we receive a client RFP, we will revisit all CV’s and application videos received to identify the best suited VA for that particular account. We believe in matching the VA as closely as possible to the client, as you do become an integral part of their team, so it is important for us too that both parties get along.

Should you be chosen for that particular account a consultant form and NDA will be sent to you.

We will first need to on board you before doing formal introductions to your client.

We would like you to read this blog written by our CEO, Karen, so that you may better understand how we work and also how the VA world works, especially if you are new to the concept.

Please take note of this important info to enable you to have a smooth onboarding experience with us.

1. Do not close this form until you have completed the whole process. Keep this tab open while completing the personality tests which will open in a new tab for you to complete.

2. Download and save the results so that you can easily upload it when requested to do so at the bottom of this form.

3. Please try and be as comprehensive as possible when uploading the requested information as this makes it easier for us to match your particular skill set to an appropriate client.

4. Your video application is of paramount importance as this “face-to-face” gives us a good sense of you. In your video please do tell us where your skills and passion lies, where you see yourself in 5 years and also share something with us that we won’t find on your CV or LinkedIn profile. Videos not to be longer than 2 minutes. Please create a free account on Loom and send us the video link : https://www.loom.com/ 

Remember to have good light when recording your video, look directly into the camera and be yourself 🙂
