Ongoing Virtual Assistant

We're a small team who own and operate two boutique recruitment agencies based in Auckland, New Zealand. We've never used a Virtual Assistant before but have plenty of extra work we need help getting done. We're keen to secure a talented and reliable freelancer to work closely with us as part of our small team. The special person we're looking for must have excellent English, great computer software skills (MS Office plus many others), fast and accurate keyboard/data entry skills, great communication and absolute reliability. The tasks will be many and varied but will include a good amount of data entry and data base management via our CRM, assisting with email and diary management, email marketing, internet research, Social Media (FaceBook, LinkedIn, Twitter, HootSuite, YouTube etc.) updates and many other tasks such as use of Survey Monkey, Mail Chimp, iContact, updating websites using the appropriate CMS (possibly Joomla), Google Analytics. Knowledge of Photoshop or Graphic Design skills would be a bonus as would accounts/accounting knowledge - especially with online accounting program Xero. I suppose another few key skills/attributes we're seeking are flexibility, multi-tasking and the ability to work things out and get things done without the need to be micro-managed. We would like to start our with 10 to 20 regular hours each week and gradually increase the hours and workload to 20 to 30 over the next 6 months. AS we are only a small company, have never used a VA previously AND we will be employing our new person for regular hours and long term - we are hoping to secure a good, skilled and experienced person at a competitive hourly rate. Please come join us!
