Recruiting, Screening Managing Remote Staff

• Tools like Upwork can make remote hiring and
  management very easy, but there still needs to be
  some thought and effort put in to achieve the
  best results.

Recruiting Remote Assistance

• Great hiring relies on several elements including
  good job postings, screening applicants, finding
  the right match in quality and compensation.
  Upwork puts thousands of phone agents at your
  disposal. Recruiters can browse resumes and
  profiles or post jobs and let them find you. Just
  note that most VAs dont want to be called
  assistants unless theyll be doing assistant
  activities. Most take their profession extremely
  seriously and want to be recognized as sales
  pros, etc.

Screening Applicants

• Upwork makes screening relatively easy and quick.
  Look at feedback ratings, length of history
  working remotely, and reviews by previous
  employers. Look beyond the surface to make sure
  this is a match for this position. Someone with
  real estate experience is going to need a lot
  less coaching. If theyll be on the phone test
  them out on the phone. If theyll be emailing for
  you have them email you, and so on.

Optimizing Your Team

• Dont underestimate the importance of cultivating
  a great community and strong team. This may be
  even more important when working remotely. Its
  hard to find great people. When you do dont let
  them go. Keep them connected. Let them know how
  much they are appreciated and that their input in
  making a difference. Say thanks.

• There are many other roles which can be
  outsourced too. Virtual assistants can be
  leveraged for other deal hunting efforts such as
  creating direct mail, Google Ads, and website
  copywriting. Others may be used for remote
  property management.
