Virtual assistants for recruitment & staffing

Spend Time Placing Candidates, Not Updating Systems.

Recruiters are at their best on the phone with clients and candidates. Recruitment virtual assistants take on the research, scheduling and system admin so your consultants can focus on relationships and placements.

The reality

Why Recruitment & Staffing Teams Get Stretched

Recruitment is a numbers game played by people. Consultants need to source widely, follow up quickly and keep both candidates and clients informed, all while maintaining accurate records in their ATS and CRM. Admin tends to crowd out the conversations that actually generate fees.

Recruitment assistants handle the high-volume coordination behind the scenes. They research candidates and hiring companies, schedule interviews, post jobs, keep systems updated and support compliance paperwork, following your agency's processes and brand.

Sourcing time

Hours spent searching for profiles instead of speaking to them.

Scheduling ping-pong

Coordinating candidates and hiring managers.

System hygiene

ATS and CRM records fall out of date.

Candidate experience

Slow updates damage your reputation with talent.
