Quick answer
OnlineJobs.ph is a job board. You pay $69 to $99 a month to contact applicants, then you screen, hire, pay and manage the person yourself, with no markup on their pay. A Team Overseas does the finding and screening, gives you a shortlist of 2–4 candidates, and then supports you both through the first 90 days. The assistant is on your payroll either way. With us, you add a $500/month membership.

Choose OnlineJobs.ph if
- You've hired remotely before and are confident screening and onboarding on your own.
- You want the lowest out-of-pocket cost and have time to run the search.
- You only need a subscription to reach applicants, not ongoing support.
Choose A Team Overseas if
- You want the assistant on your own payroll, paid directly at a rate you agree before placement.
- You want a more senior assistant. We specialize in more senior talent: mid-level assistants who are resourceful, proactive, reliable and AI-enabled.
- You have a repeatable set of work today and want the same person to grow into owning more of an operational lane, with you setting direction.
- You want someone to own AI and systems inside that lane: rolling out tools, automating recurring steps and helping your team use them.
- You'd like help making the relationship work: what to hand over, how to communicate and how to start. That's common for a first remote hire, or after a past hire or agency didn't work out.
- You'll direct the assistant and give feedback, and you want us coaching both of you through the first 90 days.
A Team Overseas is not a fit if you want
- A part-time "right hand" expected to own strategy across marketing, operations and personal tasks all at once
- A director or manager for a function you haven't defined yet
- Finished deliverables from us without directing anyone (a done-for-you service)
- Agency-provided screen monitoring of an assistant
- A budget below the membership plus the assistant’s pay
