What does a strong candidate show?
Hire reliable remote support with the communication and organization your day needs. Look for specific evidence of the essential skills rather than a polished presentation alone.
- Communicate asynchronously
- Manage shared files
- Prioritize independently
A job-relevant follow-up
Turn a collection of messages into a prioritized task list and identify questions for the requester.
Share the instructions and scoring criteria before the task. Keep it short and avoid asking candidates for unpaid commercial work.
A question worth asking
How would you handle an unclear request when the requester is in another time zone?
Ask the same core question of every candidate, then follow up on the evidence they give. Make accommodations available.
