Seeking Insights on Hiring VAs for Recruitment
Hello everyone!
I’ve been running my small recruitment business for three years and have seen good success so far. I’m now eager to take my growth to the next level.
I’ve been hearing a lot about using virtual assistants, particularly from South Africa, for candidate outreach.
If anyone has experience with this, I would love to hear your thoughts. Here are some questions I have:
- How do you find a reliable VA?
- What is a competitive pay rate?
- How do you get them familiar with UK recruitment practices?
- Do you provide any specific tools or software to assist them?
Any advice or insights from those who have navigated this process would be greatly appreciated!
Thank you!

Congratulations on the success of your recruitment business! Hiring virtual assistants (VAs) can definitely help scale your operations, especially for tasks like candidate outreach. Here are some insights based on my experience with VAs:
Interviews: Conduct thorough interviews, including task-specific assessments, to evaluate their skills in candidate outreach, communication, and cultural fit with your business.
Compensation:
Consider offering performance incentives if they exceed expectations or bring in high-quality candidates.
Getting Them Up to Speed:
Regular Check-ins: Schedule regular meetings to address any questions and provide feedback on their progress.
Tools and Software:
Overall, investing time in finding the right VA and providing them with the right tools and training can yield great benefits for your recruitment business. Good luck with your growth, and I hope these tips help!
