Find a Virtual Assistant Through This Top Five Employment Sites




Many companies find a virtual assistant to do all their daily, repetitive tasks. You may be one of the people who are experiencing time management problems because of too many tasks that need to be accomplished. You have probably experienced a phone call that woke you up early in the morning. You are worried about your load of paperwork. You can barely remember that you have over a hundred emails that you need to read.
Even though you are determined to make this year a successful one, you have to admit that you can’t do all these alone. It may be a blog, a business, a website development or maybe all of these. But, if these tasks are the ones that make your day busy, how can you seek for more opportunities to grow and expand your business? The answer is, find a virtual assistant! There are too many websites today where you can find a virtual assistant that is reliable, trustworthy and hardworking.
These are the best sites to find a Virtual Assistant:

Twitter
Social networking sites can also be used for searching job opportunities as well as posting job offers. Many Twitter users look for a person who will offer them a job. This might be your chance to find a virtual assistant to help you with your business. You may want to post a short tweet containing the job description. You may also include the website where they can read the full description of the job and the instructions of how to apply. There are more than a million Twitter users so that would tell you how great your chances are to find a virtual assistant.

CraigsList
This website enables you to find a virtual assistant by posting a job offer anonymously. It allows you to enter more than the usual 140 characters so it is a good alternative to Twitter. Additionally, you can find a virtual assistant that lives in your desired place or your own town. What’s interesting about CraigsList is that you have a direct contact with your applicants. You also don’t have to worry about any kind of interference.

VA Networking
Just like twitter, VA Networking is also a networking site. The only difference is, members of this website are all virtual assistants. It provides services for improving the management of any business. It features what they call ‘request for proposal’ (RFP) where you are allowed to post your job offer on the VAinsiders’ virtual assistant job board. So if you want to find a virtual assistant, you may choose to navigate to this website.

Elance
Elance is one of the fast growing online employment website. To find a virtual assistant, all you have to do is to post a job offer for free! Numerous applicants will then grab the job opportunity or bid on your proposal. What makes Elance different from other websites is that it enables you to review the profiles of the candidates, as well as scan their portfolios to give you an idea on how well did they perform on their previous jobs.

Guru Employer
This is a website almost the same with Elance. You can post a job offer, receive applicants and bids, then go over the profiles of your candidates. When you try to find a virtual assistant, you need to deposit funds for the project before proceeding with the hiring. When you have already received the agreed work, Guru will release the funds and your assistant will get paid.

  1. Nice list. I find this sites useful to find good virtual assistants. Alternatively, you might also want to look on other similar sites like Staff.com that provides full time low cost virtual assistants. They have recruitment specialists that can help you from hiring up to staff management. They also provide a time tracking software - Time Doctor that lets you effectively manage your remote team.
