How MyOutDesk Has A Fail-Safe Recruitment Process

/in /by

At MyOutdesk, our goal is to provide our clients with the highest quality Virtual Assistants who possess the utmost dedication to excellence. In order to achieve this, we’ve developed an industry-leading recruiting & screening process to ensure that our clients are presented with qualified, committed, and trustworthy Virtual Assistant who embodies our MOD Core Values, someone whom you will be confident enough to represent your business.

We have a diverse pool of applicants who are experts in various fields. Our roster includes 4-year university graduates as well as seasoned professionals. Our exhaustive pre-hire process filters candidates so only the most competent are interviewed.

 

 

Applicants apply through the careers section of our website. Once we receive their information on our database, they are immediately scheduled for an Online Exam which is specific on the field of expertise they are applying for. Once done, the Recruitment Specialists will check their online exams, listen to their recordings and gauge whether they are fit to become a MyOutDesk Virtual Assistant based on their communication skills, IQ, DISC and Values profile, etc. From here, we are able to eliminate applicants, while those who get through, are immediately scheduled for an initial interview with one of our Recruitment Specialists, then for final interview by our Recruitment Manager.

 

Skills are not our only consideration when hiring Virtual Assistants, we also consider their character, personality and commitment to the job. We review their job history, and we gather information from their references (3 work & 2 personal references) with an FBI-grade background check. The candidate’s identity, addresses and schools are verified with the most stringent talent-matching process in the outsourcing industry, and a system check is also done to ensure that their computer and internet connection meet our exactly standards, as well as their power & system backups.

 

We receive a volume of over 150 applications every single day, but only 2.2% are hired and endorsed to outsourcing clients. These candidates are the best of the best – which means you spend less time reviewing possible fits & more time adding top-tier talent to your business.

Once our applicants pass the recruitment process, they are then endorsed to our Human Resources Department and the Training Department, where their industry knowledge and specialized skills are developed & honed.

This recruiting process ensures that we present you with the very best candidates possible, which is what makes MyOutDesk the premier virtual assistant services provider, with hundreds of 5-star reviews from satisfied clients.

Did You Know?  MyOutDesk’s origin story is set during the last global financial crisis of 2008. Yes, that’s right — our business started by scaling businesses with virtual assistants during a recession! Our first client in 2008 went from five to seventeen VPs with a completely revamped organizational model in short order, and he told MyOutDesk, “Our virtual professionals have shaved $250,000 off our monthly overhead.”

In today’s unprecedented time, there is a real opportunity to grow your business.

BIG NUMBERS: 50k people per day are applying for unemployment. This is a time to take advantage of the short-term trend. Talent has never been more available and affordable.

Normally, there is a huge gap between the number available workers and the number of available jobs. Usually, there are more available jobs than qualified, quality workers. 

When COVID-19 hit, this caused lots of layoffs

Today during the pandemic, the trend has changed, and there are more quality workers who are ready for hire. This massive shift in the market will eventually go back to normal.

If you have the foresight, start talking to candidates now and have the opportunity to get better people who were laid off by older, destabilized companies.

The labor opportunity window is open right now.

 

TALENTED LABOR WITHOUT DISTANCE LIMITATIONS

For almost any function that can be done remotely and doesn’t require physical space, virtual assistants for recruitment, marketing, & administrative jobs are cost-effective and allow us the adequate focus & time for our functions.

MyOutDesk Virtual assistants are known to exceed expectations in providing excellent customer service and seamless administrative operations.

We will save you up to 70% on employment costs with experienced virtual assistants, precisely matched for your strategic needs. To book an interview with those in our talent pool, click here.

Patrick Johnson, CEO of Talentuition (a MyOutDesk client) provides Recruitment Process Outsourcing (RPO) services to Professional Employer Organizations (PEOs). They focus on “process outsourcing” more so than traditional headhunting or recruiting.

 

Recruitment Fundamentals
  • The mistake in prioritizing skills & experience over culture fit & talent.
  • Recruitment should follow this order: Culture fit, talent, skills and experience
  • There are two things you can’t teach people: culture fit & talent. So skills and experience can follow.

 

What is culture fit when hiring?

The right candidate who matches your culture is the one you’ve considered once before, (think this mentality) : “We’re not ready to hire yet, but as soon as we do we want you.”

When hiring, culture fit usually gets bumped down when skill sets & experience get prioritized over. Again, remember to prioritize in this order: culture fit, talent, skills, experience. This webinar goes into detail on the technicalities of posting your jobs while attracting the right culture fit.

 

How to know if it’s talent or not

In basketball drafts, Player A has played ball 10 years and they know how to do everything (he has the skills & experience). Player B is someone who can do the shots, the dunks and the plays — he has the talent! With the both of them together, the culture is the team.

Tip: People apply to several companies at the same time — so the response you make puts you out there in front of other companies for the candidate. Never be that employer who doesn’t reply to any questions.

 

2 Reasons to Recruit Now

#1 Lots of people got laid off with the pandemic, even those who had 10+ years & are highly sought after — you can get them now!

#2 Now is also the perfect time to make time investments to your business, use the downtime so you can push your curve steep when you bounce back.
