Background

ACR Maintenance Contractors is preparing for rapid growth. With plans to scale significantly over the next 12 months, founder Chris Vickery knew he needed reliable help in sales, marketing, and administrative operations.

But as a business owner focused on expansion, he didn’t have the bandwidth to screen, interview, and manage multiple candidates. He wanted a partner who could take care of the hiring legwork and deliver qualified, pre-vetted talent fast.

That’s when he turned to Remote Leverage.

The Challenges

This was Chris’s first time hiring a virtual assistant, and he wanted the process to be clear, efficient, and risk-free. His main concerns were:

• Not having time to review hundreds of resumes
  
  
• Finding talent who could communicate professionally with clients
  
  
• Avoiding costly hiring mistakes
  
  

Remote Leverage’s vetting process and six-month guarantee gave him the confidence to move forward.

“You guys were a perfect fit. The fact that you pre-screen and vet candidates before I even see them saved me so much time.”

The Remote Leverage Experience

Chris worked with Princess, one of Remote Leverage’s senior hiring managers.

“She was very professional, responsive, and walked us through every stage,” Chris explains. “She made it easy for a first-time VA employer like me.”

• Pre-screened candidates: Princess lined up several strong applicants who met ACR’s requirements.
  
  
• Guided interviews: She joined each session, asked strategic questions, and helped Chris evaluate skills and communication.
  
  
• Seamless communication: Every message and update came quickly, keeping the process on track.
  
  

“Princess was great to work with. Straight to the point but also friendly and very responsive.”

The Outcome

ACR Maintenance Contractors hired a high-caliber virtual assistant who now supports both administrative and sales functions. The quality of candidates impressed Chris so much that he considered hiring more than one.

“Everybody we interviewed spoke perfect English—honestly, some had better written and spoken English than I do. They were sharp, professional, and ready to go.”
