Recruiters win by reaching good candidates first. A virtual assistant handles the sourcing and scheduling, so your recruiters spend their time on conversations.
Virtual Assistant gives recruiters, staffing agencies and HR teams a dedicated virtual assistant from $240 a month. You choose the role and the hours, and a US account manager matches you within 1 to 3 business days.
The problem a virtual assistant solves
Recruiters lose hours posting jobs, screening resumes, updating the ATS and arranging interviews. When a role gets urgent, these jobs pile up, and strong candidates accept offers elsewhere while waiting for a reply.
What a normal week looks like with an assistant
Your assistant posts jobs, sources on LinkedIn and job boards, screens against your criteria and schedules interviews. They keep the ATS clean, send candidate updates and gather references, and recruiters receive shortlists ready for a call.
The work to hand off first
- Candidate sourcing on LinkedIn and job boards
- Resume screening against your criteria
- Interview scheduling and reminders
- ATS updates and candidate status emails
- Job posting across boards
- Onboarding paperwork and I-9 follow-up
Your assistant already knows or will learn your tools, including LinkedIn Recruiter, Greenhouse, Bullhorn, Lever, Indeed. See more on our page for virtual assistants for recruiters and staffing agencies.

Why hire your assistant from Virtual Assistant
Your assistant works remotely and keeps the business hours of your time zone. You get a person who learns your business, with a team behind them when something needs fixing.
- Scales with your hiring: Use pay-as-you-go hours for one open role, or a monthly package when you hire all the time.
- No payroll or commission plan: Pay one clear monthly price, with no recruiting costs or employment overhead.
- They learn how you work: Your account manager turns your routine into a written checklist on the kickoff call, so you explain each job once.
- NDA and secure access: Every assistant signs an NDA, and logins go through a secure vault, never by email.
- A dedicated assistant: You work with one person who learns your business, not whoever is free in a shared pool.
- Start in 1 to 3 business days: Most clients are matched within 1 to 3 business days of payment, or within 24 hours with rush onboarding.
A virtual assistant or an in-house hire?
An in-house hire makes sense when the job needs someone physically on site. For work done on a screen or a phone, a virtual assistant usually costs far less, because you pay only for working hours, with no recruiting, desk, equipment or payroll taxes to arrange. You can also start with 20 hours a month and grow, instead of committing to a full-time salary before you know how much work there is.
