The key to getting the right virtual team member is to know which parts of your business you need help with.  This will help you create a good job description. having a laid-out job description will also help you measure your candidates' performance and capabilities.

Create a job description

Once you have a list of things you need help with your need, you need to create a concise job description for your future virtual team member.  Your job description should include :
