How to Hire a Virtual Assistant: Save Time & Boost Productivity

Episode Transcript

Hey everyone, welcome back! Ever feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day? Emails, charts, scheduling—it’s insane, right?

That’s exactly why today we’re talking about how to hire a virtual assistant. It can literally change your workflow and sanity.

Hiring a VA isn’t just about offloading boring tasks. It’s about freeing your time for patient care, strategy, or just a breather.

I know what you’re thinking—“I’ve never hired virtually. How do I start?” Don’t worry, I got you. Let’s break it down.

First, figure out what tasks you can actually delegate. Emails, scheduling, data entry, social posts—anything that eats time.

A friend spent three hours daily emailing patients. Once she hired a VA, she got those three hours back. Huge difference!

Next, think about what skills your VA needs. Tech-savvy? Organized? Communicative? Clarity here saves headaches later.

Don’t hire a social media whiz if you need spreadsheet management. Match skills to tasks and you’ll thank yourself.

Now, time to find candidates. Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, or VA agencies work well. But don’t just look at price.

Reliability, experience, and communication matter more. Read reviews, interview, maybe give a small test task first.

Once you pick your VA, onboarding is key. Don’t just throw tasks at them. Explain workflow, expectations, and tools.

Weekly check-ins prevent confusion. Treat it like training a new team member, just virtual. Trust me, it’s worth it.

So, four steps: know what to delegate, define skills, find them on a platform, onboard properly. That’s it!

Do this right, and you’re not just hiring help—you’re buying back time, energy, and honestly, a bit of sanity.

Start small. Even one VA for a couple hours a week makes a huge difference. Take that step and reclaim your time!

thank you and catch you next time!
