16 self employed jobs, perfect for working for yourself
Virtalent is mentioned as part of the feature, which talks about how being a Virtual Assistant is one of the top 16 self-employed jobs.
This is a great role for anyone with an administrative or assistant background, as you’ll be doing the same type of tasks but working remotely (pub, anyone?) you’ll have to communicate regularly with your employer who’ll be looking for someone they ‘match’ with. Websites like Virtalent are great for setting up Virtual Assistants with employers.
Five Ways To Work Well From Home
Co-Founder, Ellie shared her tips on how to stay productive, whilst working from home.
Ellie Wilson is co-founder of Virtual Assistant service, Virtalent, and has a team of more than 50 remote workers. ”It’s important to stand up, stretch, move around and even go for a short walk to take a break from your work and your screen,” she says.
“Being cooped up without stopping for a break can mean your productivity levels drop, you become more tired and less motivated to complete what you’re working on.”
The New Rules of Remote Recruiting
Co-Founder, Ellie explains how she is able to recruit virtually, both easily and efficiently.
Ellie Wilson, the Co-Founder and Operations Director of Virtalent, has run hundreds of remote interviews since launching her Virtual Assistant service six years ago. She’s found the recruitment process much more efficient when it’s all online. “We can go from someone submitting an assessment to having the final interview and running background checks almost within 48 hours,” she says. “I certainly don’t think you lose anything, just because you can’t shake that person’s hand.”
Is flexible working right for you? The pioneers of the home office

Sam Wilson, cofounder of U.K.-based business services firm Virtalent, which is fully remote, said he believes setting up processes to track employee work is essential, enabling the manager to look over work as it happens and giving them a scope of things every hour, every day. Specifically, project management tools can help managers track to-do lists, project progress and timelines.
Grow your company by collaborating with a Virtual Assistant
