Good to know
Do I need experience to apply for Virtual Assistant?
No. The tasks test how you handle the work, not your CV. If you're new, say so in the quick questions: beginners are scored on what they do in the tasks, not on past jobs.
Is it free?
Yes. Candidates never pay Hire Now anything. Employers pay us when they hire.
How is the interview scored?
Each skill is scored from 1 to 10 from your answers, plus your spoken English. 7 means ready for an entry-level role. You see your scores and tips as soon as you finish.
Who pays my salary?
The employer hires you directly and pays you. Hire Now never handles wages.
Ready when you are
A minute to apply, about 7 minutes for the interview, and your results straight away.
