Here are three tips you can use to hire the best assistant possible.
Do you wish you had more time in a day to get stuff done? Hiring an assistant is a great way to delegate smaller tasks so you can focus on what truly matters. That’s why today we want to share three tips to help you hire an assistant for your real estate business:
1. Never delegate a task you haven’t completed. You don’t have to become an expert, but you must know enough to understand the role, its responsibilities, and how long it takes to complete. You also need to know how to measure results so you can make sure your assistant is doing a good job. As a bonus, you may find that while working on something, you polish the process and save even more time and money.
2. Invest in the relationship. Even with a virtual assistant, make them feel like they’re included in your team. Spend face-to-face time with them and make sure they’re aware of the company’s goals. Let them know that their work contributes to the success of the whole team.
3. Conduct multiple interviews. Don’t hire the first resume that comes across your desk. You owe it to yourself to find the best candidate possible. We use a three-step interview process that involves working side by side with the team so we can get a feel for how they’d fit in. If you have more questions about this process, please reach out to us.
