How to hire data entry assistant?

Priscilla Z.

Our business is slowly growing to the point that I need a part time assistant.  I'm looking for someone that will actually come into the office to do the work, I know virtual assistants are the way to go right now but I want to have someone here that I can talk to face to face and possibly grow into a bigger position.

With that said, I am new to hiring and am coming here for help.  The tasks I need this person to do are:

  1. Answer emails
  2. Send direct mail that is not set on automatic (as in my driving for dollars list that I compile daily/weekly)
  3. Skip trace the returned postcards 
  4. Send offers on zillow & craigslist
  5. Data mine (code enforcement lists, etc)
  6. Upload content on social media

As you see this list does not require any communication skills as it is all over the computer, so I'm looking for someone that likes to do data entry and be in front of a computer all day.  

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to go about finding this person? Any advice would be greatly appreciated....and yes, for now I am stuck on having someone face to face and not a virtual assistant.  I may change my mind later, but that's what I'm looking for right now....
