Hiring Your First VA SOP
Role, scorecard, trial week, and the first 30 days
A hiring system for the first operator you bring in, without a 40-page handbook.
What you get:
- A one-page role: outcomes, tools, hours, what “good” looks like after 30 days
- A scorecard you fill on the interview: communication, follow-through, tool fluency, judgment
- A paid 5-day trial with three real tasks and a written debrief
- A day-0 kit: access, SOPs, who to ping, first week calendar
- A 30-day review: keep, coach, or end, with the exact conversation
How to run it:
1. Write the role before you post the job. No role, no hire.
2. Trial on real work, not a test they will never do again.
3. End the trial with a dated decision. Silence is a no.
Fill in your tools and run it on the next seat you open.
