Service overview
Recruitment Virtual Assistant, Explained
Recruitment is a people business buried under admin. For every placement there are dozens of profiles reviewed, emails sent, calendars juggled and system updates logged. When volume rises, candidate experience is often the first casualty, slow replies and confusing scheduling cost you good people.
A recruitment virtual assistant supports the whole hiring pipeline. They research and source candidate profiles to your brief, post and refresh job ads, coordinate interviews across busy calendars, keep candidates informed and maintain clean data in your applicant tracking system.
Hiring decisions always remain with you. Your assistant's role is to keep the process fast, organized and respectful for everyone involved.

How Bravura VA supports the workflow
Structured From Day One
We start by learning your hiring process: stages, templates, interview formats and how you assess candidates. Your assistant gets ATS access with appropriate permissions and works from approved communication templates.
Candidate data is personal data, so we agree data-handling expectations upfront and follow your instructions on retention and access. We'll also discuss any obligations specific to your market before work begins.
Human oversight & AI
Smart Tools. Human Responsibility.
AI screening and drafting tools are spreading quickly in recruitment, and they raise real questions about fairness and accuracy. Where you use them, your assistant can work alongside them, but every candidate deserves to be treated with respect and judged fairly. We keep a person in the loop for communication and leave hiring decisions entirely with you.
