How to Hire a Virtual Assistant

from Be Authentic or GTFO! Hosted by Eric Oberembt

Hiring a virtual assistant is supposed to give you your time back—not cost you thousands, expose your business, or create another job you have to manage. In this Unloaded episode, Eric Oberembt breaks down the mistakes he made hiring and managing a virtual assistant, from overbilling and lack of accountability to losing control of multiple websites and eventually being hit with a ransom demand. He shares what the experience taught him about how to hire virtual assistants, properly vet offshore employees, protect company access, create accountability, and outsource business tasks without putting your company at risk. If you’re a business owner looking to outsource administrative work, estimating, bookkeeping, marketing, cold calling, or executive assistant responsibilities, this episode lays out what to watch for before handing someone the keys to your business.
