Top Admin related questions

There are no minimum educational requirements to be an admin assistant. But passing grades in Maths and English GCSEs are ideal qualifications. An admin assistant should have good verbal and written communication skills. Math skills are also beneficial to sales and invoicing tasks. Some employers may look for admin assistants with specific qualifications like a degree level or certification. 

An admin assistant may do your errands from time to time. Some assistants expect such tasks to be part of the job; the scope of work depends on your arrangement with your admin assistant. Make sure to align expectations with your Tasker before hiring them. If your assistant’s hands are full, you could employ a different Tasker to do your errands. Taskers can also get your clothes dry-cleaned, deliver coffee, and tidy up your office. 

Airtasker is more suitable for hiring admin assistants part-time or on a one-off basis. Admin Taskers, primarily virtual assistants, offer flexibility. You get to hire only for the services you need at a set period. Once you’re confident in an admin assistant’s skills, you may consider hiring them full time. We can also connect you with recruiters, so you can immediately find an assistant who can work with you in the long run.

A virtual assistant is a cost-efficient alternative to a full-time team member. You can pay a VA by the task rather than by the hour. Hiring a VA also saves you the costs of paying a full-time employee for a fixed number of hours per day. Since a VA works remotely, you also avoid the overhead costs of renting an office space. A VA is usually equipped with their own computer, high-speed Internet, and common software programs. 

Admin assistants, or admin officers, usually support one or a select few people in a company. These people include senior managers and C-suite members. Meanwhile, an admin manager or office manager provides broader support for the organisation. 

An admin assistant and admin clerk have some differences in their scopes of work. Admin assistants focus on the daily activities of a business. Meanwhile, an admin clerk runs general operations and paperwork. These include clerical tasks like bookkeeping and faxing documents. An admin assistant may offer support to office clerks and other admin staff. Job descriptions and salaries may be similar between admin assistants and admin clerks. 

What do admin services include?

Administrative services include all sorts of tasks to keep your business running efficiently. These tasks include office administrator tasks like managing calendars and employee records. An admin assistant can also do more technical jobs, such as preparing reports and proofreading presentations. 

From general admin work to ad hoc tasks like sticking labels on your company brochures, Taskers are here to help! No matter the nature of your business, you can find a qualified admin assistant on our platform. Here’s an overview of the types of admin assistants you can hire through Airtasker. 

Office admin 

An office admin assistant can handle the day to day tasks in your office. Internally, they can organise meetings and company events and make travel arrangements on your behalf. Moreover, your admin assistant can pay your bills, receive parcels, and photocopy documents. On the customer side, they can do admin work like answering phone calls and dealing with customer complaints and queries. Admin assistants may also specialise in skills like data entry, social media management, and WordPress management.  

Virtual assistant 

Virtual assistants (VAs) are admin assistants who work remotely. A virtual assistant can schedule your appointments, take phone calls remotely, and manage your emails like an office administrator. They may also use tools like shared calendars and work management apps. You can find VAs who can manage your social media, write blog posts, and do basic graphic design. 

Other VAs may also be adept at bookkeeping and listing products on e-commerce platforms. Need help with your spreadsheets? You can find Microsoft Excel experts on our platform, too!  

HR admin 

HR admins provide support in the hiring process and team member concerns. An HR admin arranges job interviews and handles recruitment paperwork. Preparing induction programmes and starter packs may also be part of an HR admin’s job. As needed, HR admins also prepare and amend HR documents like employment contracts and company policies. What’s more, your HR admin can keep a record of team member leaves and assist with payroll. HR admins should be knowledgeable of employment laws to ensure the company complies with policies.   

Legal admin 

A legal administrative assistant provides support to lawyers and paralegals. Legal admins may do various administrative duties at a firm. These tasks include answering the phone, organising solicitor schedules, and processing invoices. Legal admin assistants also provide support in industry-specific jobs.  

For example, a legal admin may do legal research and transcribe legal documents. A legal admin assistant may also draft and proofread legal documents.  

Merchandising admin 

Merchandising admin assistants are common in the fashion & retail industry. They prepare weekly sales reports and analyse sales figures. Merchandising assistants may also monitor inventory and coordinate with vendors. Moreover, assistants can process and monitor purchase orders. They also handle product returns by customers if needed.
