In our previous blog, we discussed how to select the right virtual assistant for your legal practice and the factors to consider on how you can single them out among hundreds of candidates. Now, we will share with you how teaming up with a reputable staffing agency can make it a seamless process for you.

Hiring a virtual assistant on your own might seem like a cost-efficient move, but when the process goes wrong, it can cost you more money, time, lost productivity, and even security risks.

The Hidden Cost of Doing It All Yourself

Animated banner promoting virtual assistant hiring through Legal Support Help, a staffing agency for legal professionals.You will draft job postings and pay ads, review the volume of resumes, facilitate interviews, conduct assessments, schedule onboarding, and provide basic training—all while managing your legal practice day-to-day.

If a hire doesn’t work out, your time, effort, and budget will go down the drain. Without enough support, you may miss key background checks and data-security protocols that might put your firm at risk.

By choosing a staffing agency with virtual assistants who receive law firm-standard training and continuous supervision, you can lower the risk of hiring and steer clear of expensive onboarding pitfalls.

Partnering with a Staffing Agency Can Save You Time and Money

At Legal Support Help, we simplify the entire hiring process. From sourcing to training, we provide pre-trained and ready-to-onboard virtual legal assistants who can take on specific roles or support you as an all-around team member. 

✅ Here’s what you will skip:

  • Review resumes – You no longer need to spend hours sorting and going through resumes. We take care of the profile screening and shortlisting of applicants who are qualified to work as virtual assistants for law firms.
  • Facilitate interviews – You no longer need to waste time scheduling, rescheduling, or dealing with no-show candidates. We handle candidate coordination, follow-ups, and pre-screening, setting initial expectations about the virtual assistant role for law firms.
  • Conduct assessments – You no longer need to prepare an assessment and evaluate results. We have new hire assessments specifically designed to identify candidates who are most likely to thrive in handling the wide range of tasks that may be delegated to a virtual assistant.
  • Training – You no longer need to provide basic training, which can delay productivity and cost you thousands. We provide our virtual assistants with a law-firm-standard training covering every stage—from pre-litigation to litigation—including reception, intake, drafting letters, and case management.
  • Onboarding – You no longer have to experience frequent attrition. We assign a dedicated point of contact who will assist you with onboarding your selected virtual assistant, providing supervision and coaching to help ensure long-term success and retention.

Reduce Risks with a Built-In Safety Net

  • Client Support – We have dedicated account supervisors who regularly check in with clients to gather feedback, which is integrated into coaching sessions. They also address inquiries and concerns promptly to ensure a smooth working relationship.
  • Service Evaluation – We conduct seasonal evaluations with the virtual assistant to review their workload, hours, overall productivity, and progress toward goals.
  • Coaching – We provide regular coaching sessions—weekly or at least monthly—to check in with virtual assistants and help them navigate unfamiliar situations, whether work-related or personal.
  • Team Huddle – We hold monthly meetings to discuss challenges and action plans from the past month. These huddles provide a space for virtual assistants to gain strategies, insights, and solutions from more experienced virtual assistants.
  • Continuous Training – We have a dedicated training team that consistently updates and develops training materials that are readily accessible to our virtual assistants.

This structure reduces turnover, avoids costly mistakes, and helps maintain momentum, especially in high-pressure legal environments.

Save on Overhead Without Compromising Service Quality

While agency support may seem like an added cost upfront, it significantly reduces long-term expenses by:

  • Lowering recruitment costs
  • Shortening time-to-hire
  • Preventing bad hires
  • Preserving your productivity

Plus, our virtual assistants come equipped and ready. They set up their own home offices with computers, noise-cancelling headsets, internet backups, and power solutions — saving you thousands in overhead costs.
