When hiring a virtual employee, always find a way to see the "attitude" of the person towards the job and the company. Emphasize on the attitude as this will determine his/her loyalty, willingness to perform and learn, productivity towards the job. Skills are also important, as their knowledge towards the job is essential but these can be learned. They can learn and equip themselves towards the need of the company as time passes by but the attitude can't be learned and will be hard to modify.


2. Provide a contract

Contracts are binding documents to keep you and your virtual assistant safe in case there are unwanted circumstances. These may keep each party's interest safe. For example, the information in the company such as strategies and financial status must be kept safe.


3. Important tools!

Tools on the internet are important as these are your weapons in running your business as well as maintaining your virtual employee. You need an employee tracking tool to be able to keep a hand on your employee's activities. Communication tools, customer relationship management tools, and other necessary software must be provided as well to help the virtual assistant run your business. This is also a way of keeping track of your business!
