# Virtual Assistant Recruiting Coordination Workflow

Published August 31, 2026. Recruiting support works best when administration is separated from hiring judgments and protected decisions.

Virtual Assistant Recruiting Coordination Workflow: define the candidate record

List required fields, permitted sources, interview stages, owners, and retention rules. The [service role library](/services) helps buyers keep the role focused on coordination.

Standardize scheduling and updates

Use approved messages, confirm time zones, and log every stage change. The assistant must not promise employment, interpret protected information, or rank candidates without an authorized process.

Restrict sensitive access

Give access only to the recruiting systems and records required for the task. Follow the [NIST small business cybersecurity guidance](https://www.nist.gov/itl/smallbusinesscyber) for account and information protection.

Escalate exceptions consistently

Route accommodations, compensation questions, complaints, and policy exceptions to the named owner. The [provider vetting checklist](/provider-vetting) supports questions about training and oversight.

Frequently asked questions

### What should the assistant document? Document the source, action, status, owner, due date, and any exception that needs review. ### When should work stop? Stop when evidence is missing, instructions conflict, access is inappropriate, or an owner-only decision is required.
