Hiring the right assistant is more than just ticking off a task list—it's about finding the perfect partner (we like to say Unicorn 😉) to help you scale your business, maintain momentum, and reach new heights. 

‍

At Assistantly, we don't just match you with any assistant; we connect you with the top 3% of talent. Here’s how our approach to finding, hiring, managing, and supporting your Unicorn Assistant can set your business up for success and why our model far surpasses traditional virtual assistant companies:

‍

FINDING THE RIGHT UNICORN ASSISTANT

‍

Finding a high-performing assistant who can help your business thrive isn't just about browsing through resumes or conducting a couple of quick interviews. Most VA companies offer a broad range of sourcing strategies, often using basic vetting processes to match skills with tasks​. While this can work for some, it falls short of ensuring a true culture fit and long-term partnership.

‍

At Assistantly, comprehensive sourcing is key to finding the perfect 🦄 Unicorn assistant. We go beyond simple qualifications and focus on high-performing traits that will bring lasting value to your business. Our rigorous vetting process filters through the top talent to find candidates who are:

‍

• Proactive: They anticipate needs and take initiative, ensuring operations run smoothly without constant oversight.
• Consistent: They reliably deliver high-quality work, day in and day out.
• Critical Thinkers: They analyze problems from multiple angles and deliver effective, thoughtful solutions.
• Creative: They bring fresh, innovative ideas to your business, helping you stay ahead of the curve.
• Get Sh*t Done! They prioritize productivity and get tasks completed efficiently.

‍

By focusing on these traits, we ensure that your Unicorn Assistant doesn't just meet your expectations—they exceed them. We place people who are eager to collaborate, respond effectively, and solve problems, helping you drive your business forward with confidence.

‍

HIRING WITH CONFIDENCE

‍

Once you’ve found your perfect Unicorn Assistant, the hiring process at Assistantly is designed to be as smooth as possible. Traditional virtual assistant services often provide simple onboarding and payroll solutions, but we take it several steps further by tailoring the process to your specific needs.

‍

Our streamlined payroll and HR services take the headache out of managing contracts, compliance, and payments, ensuring everything runs efficiently behind the scenes. But what really sets us apart is our tailored onboarding process. From the moment your Unicorn starts, they are fully integrated into your business model, learning the ins and outs of your processes, tools, and goals.

‍

With a dedicated success team by your side, you'll have ongoing support and guidance through the hiring process. This ensures that your assistant not only starts strong but continues to grow and adapt to your business needs over time. We prioritize long-term success, not just short-term task completion.

‍

MANAGING FOR LONG-TERM SUCCESS

‍

Many VA companies leave management up to you once the assistant is in place. They may provide basic tools or communication platforms but rarely engage in ongoing development​​. This hands-off approach often leads to stagnation, missed opportunities for growth, and dissatisfaction on both sides.

‍

At Assistantly, management isn't an afterthought—it's a core part of our process. We offer professional development and continuous training opportunities for all of our Unicorns. This ensures that your assistant is constantly upskilling, staying current with industry trends, and bringing new insights to your business. Whether it’s mastering the latest software, improving communication techniques, or honing their creative problem-solving skills, our Unicorns are always learning and evolving.

‍

We also understand the importance of keeping your assistant motivated and engaged. Our comprehensive benefits package includes not only financial incentives like regular increases and bonuses but also a Health & Wellness Allowance. A happy, healthy assistant is a productive one, and we make sure they have the support they need to thrive—both professionally and personally.

‍

On top of that, your assistant becomes part of the Unicorn Community, a network of high-achieving professionals who share resources, ideas, and experiences. This community provides a unique layer of support that most virtual assistant companies simply don’t offer.

‍

SUPPORTING SUCCESS EVERY STEP OF THE WAY

‍

Ongoing support is where many traditional VA companies fall short​. Once the initial placement is made, the responsibility for monitoring performance, providing feedback, and ensuring continued success often lands solely on the client. But at Assistantly, we believe that support is critical to long-term success.

‍

Our performance monitoring system ensures that every Unicorn is continuously meeting expectations and delivering exceptional work. Regular check-ins, feedback loops, and performance assessments help both the client and the assistant stay aligned on goals and progress.

‍

Our Success Coaching program goes a step further, providing dedicated support not only for the Unicorns but also for the clients. This two-way coaching system ensures that challenges are addressed proactively, and opportunities for growth are maximized.

‍

Finally, the Unicorn Community acts as a pillar of support and encouragement for each of our assistants. Whether they need advice on a new project, a fresh perspective on a challenge, or just someone to bounce ideas off of, our community is there to lift them up and help them succeed.

‍

A PEEK INTO THE BENEFITS & PERKS THAT SET US APART

‍

Assistantly’s commitment to our Unicorns doesn’t end at hiring. We offer a range of benefits and perks that help keep our assistants motivated and fully engaged in their roles:

‍

• Above Market Pay Scale: We ensure our Unicorns are compensated well above market standards, with regular increases and bonuses to recognize their hard work.
• Health & Wellness Allowance: A healthy Unicorn is a happy Unicorn. We provide resources to ensure that their well-being is a top priority.
• Paid Time Off (PTO): We value our assistants' time both at and away from their laptops, offering ample PTO to recharge and refresh.
• Personal & Professional Development: We offer continuous growth opportunities with an entire support team available to them.
• Profit Sharing: When you win, we all win. Our unique profit-sharing model aligns the success of the business with the success of the assistant.

‍

From finding and hiring to managing and supporting your Unicorn every step of the way, Assistantly provides a comprehensive, hands-on approach that sets us apart from traditional VA companies.
