Team coordination
Arrange appointments, prepare meeting materials and track routine requests so colleagues know what happens next.
Find the right fit.
Go beyond a CV. See how someone thinks, communicates and approaches the work.
- 01
Use a small fictional spreadsheet to check accuracy, formatting and how the applicant handles missing information.

Which administrative tasks can be done remotely?
Document preparation, data entry, scheduling and digital record management can be handled remotely when the necessary systems are accessible. Duties involving physical mail, equipment or in-person reception need local coverage.
What software skills should I include in the job ad?
Name your actual tools, such as Excel, Google Sheets, Microsoft 365 or a CRM. Separate essential skills from systems you can teach during onboarding.
How can I assess accuracy before hiring?
Offer a short, paid task with fictional records and clear instructions. Review error rates, questions asked and how the applicant explains their checks, rather than relying only on typing speed.
Can an administrative assistant support multiple departments?
Yes, if ownership and priorities are clear. Nominate a manager, agree on a shared task queue and describe the departments involved in your job posting.
Ready to find your next teammate?
Post your administrative assistant role.
