Fluency in English

Ataraxis virtual assistants are fluent in English and skilled at communicating professionally, ensuring there’s no miscommunication in your day-to-day tasks.

College Educated and Experienced

All Ataraxis VAs are college educated and have specialized experience in various fields, so you can trust them to hit the ground running.

Excellent Service

How to hire a virtual assistant

Hiring your first virtual assistant is perfectly doable on your own, but most business owners underestimate the hours it takes to sift through resumes, schedule calls, and run multiple interview rounds. Research shows that the DIY path typically drags on for weeks (or months), involves several interviews, and can still lead to mis-hires if you rush the vetting stage.

Here's a step-by-step guide: 
1
Map out your tasks

List everything you want your virtual assistant to own and create detailed instructions. Clarifying scope upfront helps with long term retention and minimizes confusion. 

2
Set your budget and hours

Having a set schedule helps create structure and consistency. 

3
Create a job description

Write a descriptive JD with required experience, KPIs, schedule expectations, etc. 

4
Find and screen virtual assistant candidates

Post your job description to virtual assistant websites and craft a recruitment message you can use to reach out to candidates directly.  

5
First round interviews

Expect to screen 40-100 candidates to find your ideal virtual assistant.

6
Skills test

Give 2-3 finalist candidates a short take-home assignment to test their attention-to-detail, responsiveness, and work product. 

7
Culture and reference checks

A bad hire can cost up to 50% of first-year pay, so doing your due diligence is cheap insurance. 

8
Sign contract and start onboarding

Draft an employment or contractor agreement, include an NDA, and grant tool access.

Cheat Code

When you hire a virtual assistant through Ataraxis, you skip steps 2-7, saving you weeks of lost productivity.
