They made the interview process a breeze. They had 3 people lined up and ready to interview in a virtual meeting. I hired my person that same day and she will start next week! Great process in hiring.

What hiring platforms can your VAs work with?
Our recruiting VAs have experience with major hiring platforms including LinkedIn Recruiter, Indeed, ZipRecruiter, and Glassdoor.

Yes. Our VAs can verify candidate credentials, contact references, verify employment history, and update applications with relevant notes and findings for your recruiters.
