The work

Tasks this hire takes

A virtual assistant for recruitment agencies screens inboxes, books interviews and updates the ATS.

The recruiter still judges the candidate and talks to the client.

Two jobs shape a normal week for recruitment agencies: Log applicants in JobAdder or Vincere, and book interviews into the consultant diary. Firms hire for that rhythm, not for an empty inbox.

  • Log applicants in JobAdder or Vincere

  • Book interviews into the consultant diary

  • Chase feedback after the interview

  • Write the first-pass CV summary for review

  • Update the job board ad the consultant approved

Log applicants in JobAdder or Vincere. For recruitment agencies, that work sits beside JobAdder, Vincere or Bullhorn. The principal still makes the call above it.

Book interviews into the consultant diary. Ask each finalist for recruitment agencies when they last did this, and whether they did it in JobAdder, Vincere or Bullhorn.

The brief for recruitment agencies should treat this as a standing job: chase feedback after the interview. JobAdder, Vincere or Bullhorn is where the office checks it.

Write the first-pass CV summary for review. If the hire has not used JobAdder, Vincere or Bullhorn, the first month for recruitment agencies includes learning it, and the principal still reviews the output.

Update the job board ad the consultant approved. For recruitment agencies, write down what done looks like, and who is told when it is finished.

Day one

A short task in A calendar for candidate and client calls can be part of the interview for recruitment agencies, if you want to see the work.

You grant access to The scorecard the consultant wrote. For recruitment agencies, the hire should have that login before week two.

The line

Compliance boundary

The hire does not make the hiring decision or negotiate a fee.

For recruitment agencies, the interview repeats the boundary above. The hire should be able to say what they will not decide.

The first 90 days

  1. 01

    Days 1 to 30 for recruitment agencies are for learning JobAdder, Vincere or Bullhorn and the way the office already hands work across.

  2. 02

    By day 60 this should be routine for recruitment agencies: Chase feedback after the interview.

  3. 03

    The day-90 review asks one question for recruitment agencies: is “Update the job board ad the consultant approved” happening without you chasing it?

What we ask before we search

  • On the call for recruitment agencies, we ask who does this today: log applicants in JobAdder or Vincere.
  • We ask which of these the hire for recruitment agencies must open on day one: JobAdder, Vincere or Bullhorn, Seek or the job board the desk uses, A calendar for candidate and client calls.
  • For recruitment agencies, we ask you to say the line a new starter must not cross.

Shared hours are written into the brief for recruitment agencies before anyone is approached.
