The Challenge:
Recently, a fascinating client approached us—a real estate professional managing dozens of properties across the U.S. Despite his success, he felt overwhelmed by daily administrative tasks that drained his time—time he wanted to invest in growing his business and supporting his investors. He asked us to find an administrative assistant who could take on these responsibilities and let him focus on what truly matters.
Our Approach:
At VA Masters, we design a precise, tailored recruitment process to find candidates who not only meet technical requirements but also bring immediate value to the role.
The Skill Test – Tailored for Real-World Success:
To ensure candidates were equipped for the role, we designed a skill test that reflected actual tasks they would perform:
1️⃣ Data Analysis in Spreadsheets: To assess their Excel skills, crucial for managing property-related data and ensuring accuracy.
2️⃣ Filling Out Complex Forms: Using the “Request for Tenancy Approval” (RFTA) form, we tested their attention to detail and ability to handle critical documentation.
3️⃣ Research and Information Verification: Candidates conducted independent research to validate contractor details, demonstrating problem-solving and accuracy in retrieving vital information.
4️⃣ Communication Skills: By creating a short Loom video, candidates showcased their ability to present information clearly and communicate effectively—essential for client and team interactions.
The Final Interview:
After careful evaluations, we narrowed the list to 2–3 top candidates. One standout, Angela, excelled with her extensive real estate experience, efficiency in handling complex tasks, and enthusiasm for the role. In her final interview, Angela impressed with her professionalism and readiness to contribute immediately.
Why It Works:
✔️ Saves Time: Clients save hours of screening and testing while we handle the heavy lifting.
✔️ Precise Fit: Candidates are skilled and culturally aligned with the business.
✔️ Immediate Impact: Our assistants integrate quickly and start adding value from day one.
