What a virtual assistant actually owns
- Inbox and calendar management for one or two people
- Data entry, list building, and CRM hygiene
- Travel booking, expense capture, receipt filing
- Recurring reports and short research briefs
- Customer and vendor follow-up over email
What we test before you meet anyone
- A written brief they have to interpret rather than follow, since good VAs ask the clarifying question first
- Real tool exposure: Google Workspace, one CRM, one scheduler, one automation tool
- Written English under time pressure, since most of the job is asynchronous writing
- How they handle an ambiguous instruction without escalating every step
Where virtual assistant searches usually go wrong.
"Virtual assistant" describes a hundred different jobs, so applicant volume is enormous and relevance is low. What you are actually screening for is judgment, and no résumé shows it. Most applicants have only ever worked from step-by-step instructions, so they stall the first time the process breaks.
