You communicate directly with your assistant, we don’t interfere unless you need our support. Unlike freelance platforms, which focus on short-term gigs, we help businesses build long-term, reliable teams. Unlike gig-based sites, our professionals seek stable, long-term roles as part-time or full-time members of your team.

Who will train my assistant and tell them what they should work on?

Just like when you hire a regular employee, they’ll need to go through your training and on-boarding to understand your business, processes, and expectations. If you need help, contact our team and we will provide support, strategy guidance, and resources to make training easier.

Is my virtual assistant considered an employee when I hire them?

No, your virtual assistant is not an employee of your company, they are independent contractors.

Most virtual assistants or remote workers hired by entrepreneurs or businesses in North America, Europe, Australia, or around the world, are hired as third-party contractors/freelancers.

There are many benefits to hiring virtual assistants as contractors/freelancers. Some of these benefits include:

Your business can save thousands of dollars per year on overhead expenses (taxes, insurance, office space, benefits, etc).
Your business is not required to pay employee taxes, Medicare, social security, etc, as they’re not legally your employees.
Your business is not required to offer employee benefits, such as healthcare.
Your business is not required to pay worker’s compensation, as your assistants don’t work in your physical office.

Important: For professional support and advice on these legal matters, always contact your CPA and/or lawyer.
