with Paige Risley and Beth Moffatt

Joining me on the podcast today are Paige Risley and Beth Moffatt of We Recruit Well, both of these women have worked in the online space, both in positions of being virtual assistants. And now they have pulled together their resources and created a company, We Recruit Well, where they help place online resources for your company. And so we\'re going to talk today about what that process looks like, how to be prepared for hiring, and how to make sure that you are matched with the correct person.

Key Thoughts:

  • We\'re looking specifically for somebody that can fit and work with that specific business owner and within their industry. Paige Risley (10:19)\\xa0

  • I think many businesses have learned over the last two years, that there is an opportunity to find candidates with higher skill sets and the pandemic has shown us that remote works. I can imagine the virtual world has exploded over the last two years because people are realizing you don\'t have to be beside me. Michele (20:28)\\xa0

  • We can help you talk through all the different areas where you see gaps, and help you figure out how many hours a week you may need. But I will tell you, I don\'t think we\'ve ever had anyone start out at 5 or 10 hours a week that didn\'t immediately grow to 20, 30, even up to full time. Beth Moffatt (22:25)\\xa0

  • We want to see someone who really wants to serve, it just really lights their fire to serve other people. Beth Moffatt (33:46)\\xa0

  • I think that trust is a big piece of it. I know that all the people on my team helping me, are here to try to help me do all the other things so I can go do the work I do best. Michele (36:26)\\xa0

  • A personal indicator that I need help is I am not sleeping at night, I don\'t want to get out and go on my run, I am exhausted and my brain doesn\'t shut down. That\'s an indication I\'m doing too much and I need help. I need to start off-boarding things. You don\'t want to get there. The joy of that virtual assistant is if you bring somebody in at 5 or 10 hours a week, they have plenty of room to grow with you. Paige Risley (46:13)\\xa0

  • When a company itself works well internally, and the overflow of that, to the companies that have the ability to work with them in some capacity, it\'s heightened and\\xa0noticeable. Michele (50:05)\\xa0
