ARE YOU STRUGGLING WITh...

Don't have time to interview and vet candidates

Don't have time to review tons of resumes

Don't have time to onboard & manage new hires

You don't trust that anyone can perform to your standards

You don't trust yourself to fairly complete the hiring process

You have been burned in the past with a bad hire

You don't have a talent acquisition or recruitment background

You let emotions rather than objective facts drive your choice of candidates

You don't have experience using sourcing and applicant tracking systems. 

I just reviewed this job description and what you and the recruitment managers NOT gon’ do is make me feel super slow for not knowing how to do this! Like, no way it can be this good and easy. 

I’m over here like “I know they didn’t just create this job posting like this and make me feel like I want to hire myself.” LISTEN!!!!!!!!

More time to keep working instead of spending hours doing the tedious grunt work of finding the right candidate

Recruiting new staff is time consuming, and you should not take hiring decisions lightly. You need to think realistically whether you have the time, expertise, experience to find the best talent to join your business.

Managing a side hustle and a full-time job is time-consuming. Stopping to hire and interview a
team member was just not an option for me. Working with F28 was worth every dollar! I would
have lost way more money having gone another month without a virtual assistant. 

They handled everything from crafting and posting the job description, to sorting through resumes and preliminary interviews, to presenting final candidates. It took less than 3 weeks to execute something I had been procrastinating for months!
