Outsource finance administration assistants to the Philippines

Finance administrative assistants are the foundation of businesses, providing additional support to organisational departments to meet KPIs and reporting requirements. They are a critical support role to any successful manager, and there are specific skills needed to become a great administrative assistant.

Outsourcing services recruit administrative assistants the same way an internal talent acquisition team would. Essentially, they ask the same questions to understand whether these offshore candidates would be able to provide the level of quality required by Australian organisations:

• What experience and knowledge do you have anticipating an organisation's administrative needs, its departments, or your managers?
• What are your time management skills like?
• How do you ensure excellent communication, both written and verbal, across the many different reporting lines?
• What organisation techniques do you use to ensure information is updated and maintained?
• Provide an example of how you showcased a high level of accuracy and attention to detail.
• What tools and systems are you familiar with?

A higher education degree or certificate in business administration is desirable in terms of qualifications. Administrative assistants require high level problem-solving and interpersonal skills. Outsourcing companies can help you find the right candidate to meet your organisation’s administrative requirements:

• Whether you are looking to train an administrative assistant from the ground up and teach them your business's way of doing things, or
• Whether you are seeking expertise and a team of administrative assistants with certifications and higher education.

How does hiring an outsourced administrative assistant work?

This first step is to find out if your business is offshore ready. If the answer is yes, here are the next steps:

• Create a job description: to help us hire the right candidate for your role. We can also assist in this process to ensure we are finding the best talent in the current local market. 
• Source the right candidate: we source candidates across our database and the local market before presenting you with a shortlist of the most suitable candidates available. 
• Screen and interview: you screen, interview and select the candidate(s) you’d like to hire while we take care of the infrastructure set up to get them ready to work for your business. It’s usually around six to eight weeks to get your offshore staff up and running.
• Onboard and train: your business, along with the operational assistance of our offshore management team, organise new staff onboarding and training, including the use of your systems, any relevant processes and workflows they may need and an overview of your company values and culture. This will help your new team member fit seamlessly into your organisation and assist in effective change management with your existing onshore team members.
