Hiring considerations

Agencies should hire against a documented process. Record training videos for each recurring deliverable and create QA checklists so quality does not depend on one person. Clarify whether the assistant is client-facing and, if so, add them to communication channels with clear response expectations.

Example workflow: monthly reporting

1. The assistant pulls data from ad and analytics platforms.

2. They build the report in your template and note anomalies.

3. A strategist reviews and adds recommendations.

4. The assistant sends the report and logs feedback.
