It’s also important to ensure that the administrator has multi-tasking skills and interpersonal communication skills.
Also, in order to select the most ideal candidate for your administrative tasks, you should make adequate and full description of the task, including required hours as well as extra hours (if applicable).
Attract the Right Candidates
Use the job requirements you’ve written down and create a great, informative and detailed job description. Subsequently, you should go ahead and find the right candidates for the job. There are tons of resources at your disposal when it comes to attracting the right candidate — they include online job boards, social networks, and outsourcing websites.
Set up Interviews
Go through your applicants’ list and identify those with the right skills and experience for the administrative tasksyou seek to outsource. Then, contact each candidate in your list and hold an in-person interview.
When you interview them, pay close attention to communication skills and preparedness for the task. In the resume that each candidate submitted, you should pay attention to ability to pay attention to details and to be polite. Pay attention to administrators with track record of surpassing expectations, especially as you hold the interview with the candidate.
