I'm Hiring! My business has grown considerably in the past couple of years but I do a lot (maybe 'most') things still myself. To some extent this is how I like it. However, there are many areas where my personal capacity is limiting the growth of my business e.g. staying on top of implementing different ideas I've had, follow up, managing my team, etc. There's too much in my head, and there's too much to do, and I can't 'hold' it all (in my brain) or fit it all in my calendar. Plus I have ADHD and 2 young kiddos The closest commonly used term for this role would probably be Executive Assistant. The implementation in this role is minimal (it's not like OBM or COO). Your primary job is to manage/supervise/assist me in all the things I've got to do/think about/juggle/make decisions on/etc. Your secondary job is to liaise and communicate with people as needed who want something from me. I'm not really fussed what you currently call yourself (VA, OBM, etc), just that you have experience, enthusiasm and space for the role. Important: I'm looking to hire someone in the UK. Applications close Friday, 9th February at 7pm UK All the deets + application form: https://lnkd.in/e5xwF9Jq

Great opportunities

I read a job description recently and it almost made me want to apply. Check it out: • Has a reputation for initiating ideas and programs presenting options, not just delivering what is requested; • Has a strong appreciation and regard for the challenges, pressures and stress that continually surround an organization; • Is politically sensitive and savvy but not political; • Has a high level of curiosity. I am constantly asked about hiring a sales rep. Most of the questions have to do with where to look. This post addresses a different topic: What to look for. From the outside, does your company look like a place great people would want to work?

" Cutting out a Middle Man " Once upon a time, a busy CEO wanted to hire a virtual assistant (VA) to help with his company's workload. He decided to use an agency called Remote ***** find one. At first, things seemed okay, but soon, problems arose. The VA was slow to respond, made mistakes, and didn't seem to understand the company's needs. The CEO realized that working through an agency was making things harder. Eventually, he decided to hire a VA directly. This time, things went much better. The new VA understood the company's goals, communicated well, and got the job done efficiently. The CEO learned that hiring directly was simpler and more effective than using an agency. From then on, he knew to skip the middleman and hire directly for better results an important lesson: while hiring a VA through an agency may seem convenient, the disadvantages often outweigh the benefits. Direct communication and alignment with company culture are crucial for a successful working relationship, and sometimes, cutting out the middleman is the best way to achieve that. Hiring Managers: Hire someone directly👌
