Choose Prialto if

You want a fully managed team with an engagement manager and backup coverage.
You prefer the provider to employ the assistant, and a 90-day minimum works for you.

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
