>touch love incoming< We’re about to launch ads that send business owners directly to the VA Directory Those business owners may never join the community. They may never comment here. But they will see your profile if you are in the directory and search for their needs. This community will only grow with serious, visible, hire-ready VAs, and I have no problem removing members who aren’t taking action. We have some AMAZING talent in here and those women understand the purpose of this group and what we're all striving for. A large number of members is not the primary goal. The goal is to build a healthy, strong directory of talented, creative and experienced virtual assistants so that business owners who are ready and able to hire services can do so and VAs can get paid livable wages. If you want to stay in the directory and be discoverable: You must complete both steps: Step 1: Upgrade your membership ($1/mo)👉🏽 https://skool.com/hire-a-va-4537/plans Step 2: Complete your VA Profile Form👉🏽 https://forms.gle/b66MhzPcKhtxAV9t8 Those who joined over 14 days ago have 48 hours to complete the above steps. After that, uncompleted VA forms will be removed so we maintain a VA/VSP directory business owners can trust. If you're serious about getting hired… This is the simplest path to visibility you will ever get on Skool. If you have questions, send me a DM, I’m here to help you position yourself as a standout VA. Let’s build the strongest, most reputable VA directory online. 💫 Chastity

If you’re trying to hire a Virtual Assistant and want one place where you can browse skills, compare experience, and choose someone who fits your business, this guide shows you exactly how VA directories work, and how to use them to hire the right support quickly. Directories are becoming the fastest-growing hiring method for small businesses because they remove guesswork and bring clarity to the selection process. Here’s what you need to know. 1. What Is a Virtual Assistant Directory? A Virtual Assistant Directory is a curated list of VAs organized by: • skill set • availability • specialization • communication preferences • portfolio or work samples Instead of sorting through hundreds of random profiles on big hiring platforms, directories give you a structured way to see only qualified VAs. 2. Why Business Owners Prefer Directories Directories save time because you can: • compare VAs side-by-side • browse by skill or industry • identify who is currently taking new clients • reach out directly • avoid platform fees or long job postings You skip the chaos and go straight to qualified talent. 3. What Makes a High-Quality VA Directory? A trustworthy directory includes VAs who are: • trained in client communication • reliable with deadlines • clear on their service offerings • running a legitimate service-based business • skilled in remote work systems (Google Workspace, CRMs, scheduling, email, project tools) This improves your hiring success rate significantly. 4.
