Hire a Virtual Assistant.
Inbox, calendar, research, document prep, vendor coordination — the leverage role that gives your team back ten hours a week.
Pre-vetted, full-time dedicated, with HR & payroll handled.
Overview
What a Virtual Assistant actually does.
Virtual assistants in our network take the repeatable, time-shaped work off your plate without dropping balls. We vet for written English clarity, prioritization instincts, and the kind of quiet reliability that lets a founder hand off a task and not have to follow up on it.
Responsibilities
- Triage inbox and draft first-pass replies in your voice
- Manage calendar, meeting prep, and follow-ups
- Research vendors, suppliers, and prospects on a brief
- Format documents, decks, and reports to a brand template
- Coordinate travel, expenses, and recurring vendor admin

How We Vet This Role
Role-scoped, not one-size-fits-all.
VA candidates work a fictional week of mixed tasks — inbox triage, a research brief, and a calendar conflict — we grade prioritization, written tone, and what they choose not to do.
