Virtual PA
Full-time recruiter looking to start as a Virtual PA – advice welcome!
Hi everyone 👋
I currently work full-time in recruitment, so my day-to-day already involves a lot of organisation, diary management, emails, scheduling, speaking with candidates and clients, keeping on top of admin, and generally making sure things don’t fall through the cracks.
I’m looking to use those skills to start working as a Virtual PA/Virtual Assistant alongside my full-time job, initially taking on a small number of clients and seeing how it develops.
I’d be interested in helping busy professionals or small business owners with things like:
Inbox and diary management
Scheduling meetings/appointments
General admin and data entry
Candidate/recruitment admin
CV formatting and job advert posting
Research
Following up with clients/candidates
Organising documents and spreadsheets
General day-to-day PA support
I’d love to hear from anyone who has done something similar. How did you find your first client? Are there particular platforms or communities worth looking at? And if you hire a Virtual PA, what would make someone stand out to you?
Also happy to connect with anyone who might be looking for a few hours of reliable virtual support each week.
Thanks 😊
