How do I become a Virtual Assistant? 

RecruitMyMom places Virtual Assistants (VA) and remote workers at work. Companies hire Virtual Assistants using our personalised service offerings. 

Where do virtual assistants work? 

By the nature of being virtual, Virtual Assistants work from remote locations, often home offices. 

Virtual Assistants can be skilled in skills such as :

Personal Assistants

Bookkeeping

Social Media

Content writing

Marketing strategy

Sales

Administration

Any back office function of any sort

Customer care agents. 

Many clients, both locally and internationally, approach RecruitMyMom for Virtual Assistants. These jobs are advertised on our jobs page. They can be permanent or contractual jobs. Clients often request independent contracting virtual assistants.

If you work as an independent contractor for RecruitMyMom, and you perform well, we will continue to use you for other clients. 

Be sure to add your area of skill (Personal Assistant, administration, bookkeeping, digital marketing, project management) as well as "Virtual Assistant" under your "Skill Set" on your candidate profile.

Office requirements for a Virtual Assistant: 

A fully-fledged home office that is private and has fast fibre installed. Cellular and ADSL connections are often not stable enough to sustain a remote working job from home. 

Does RecruitMyMom vet their virtual assistants?

Yes, we do. We do a full interview, background check and, where needed, a skills test. 

Our VAs mostly work on multiple clients over time, so we get to know who the best VAs are for what job.

Who pays a virtual assistant?

RecruitMyMom has a large client base. We work with clients to find the best Virtual Assistant solution to meet their business needs. You can be employed as a permanent employee or as an independent contractor.

As an independent contractor, you will need to time measure your output, complete our timesheet and return this to RecruitMyMom. This can be done either at the end of a contract or at the end of a week/month. RecruitMyMom submits the timesheet for approval from the client. If there is no dispute, RecruitMyMom raises the invoice and pays you for the work completed.

What happens if there is a dispute?

RecruitMyMom will mediate as best as possible between the two parties. Most of the time, the dispute is resolved. If not, a compromise is reached.
