What to look for in a VA?

[Collin Corrington]

During a podcast Brandon told the story of how he used/uses onlinejobs.ph to find VA's. I'm at the point where I'm flat out in the weeds and decided to search one out. I put a quick ad up and got 100+ applicants in a matter of hours. I'm looking for someone to help with data analytics, quickbooks reconciling and such, CRM management, transaction coordination, and basically any other task I can outsource. So I can't say I'm looking for an extremely specific skill set but none of it should be highly technical either. More of a catch all for now.

Does anyone have any advice on particular talents or experience that you've found particularly helpful?  Any vetting strategies that have worked for you?  Any help would be appreciated.
