Virtual Assistants for Ecommerce Who Are More Than Just Task-takers.

Hiring directly is awesome if you're confident in your process! But let's be real - hiring a remote talent can be really time-consuming and draining. And for busy founders and entrepreneurs, time and energy are the most precious resources.

That's where we come in. We'll not only make the whole process smoother, but we'll also help you avoid the usual headaches. Our goal? To ensure your new team member is the perfect match for your needs, so you can focus on growing your business.

Let's make this easy for you!

1. Talent Level

We're not about cutting corners or sacrificing our amazing virtual assistants in the Philippines just to make a profit. Because of this, we've become the go-to destination for the best talent - even those moving on from other agencies.

2. Price

Most agencies with comparable talent charge around $3,000/month. Only $700-$800 of that goes to the team member.

Not only do we charge less but we also pay our Assistants around 1.5 to 2x more than other agencies.

Retention comes from making sure that our Assistants are paid well and supported well so they can focus on client impact. This is what we try to do at A Team Overseas.

3. People over Process

Kevin, our founder, knows firsthand how challenging it can be to hire the right overseas talent while still managing the demands of a startup. When you work with us, you'll get personalized support from a tight-knit team that prioritizes your success, adapting our processes to fit your specific needs.

Let's find the perfect fit together!

Our recruiting is optimized were we try to screen for people who regularly operates at a level 4 at our Contributor Growth Curve.

• Deep screening for soft skills like systems-thinking, high agency, and proactivity
• Paid trial task that helps get us sense of how they perform in reality
• Alignment checks for time zone, work style, and English proficiency

Only the top ~1% of applicants make it through. We then tailor our shortlist based on what you care about most.

We offer a 30-day satisfaction guarantee, and if it’s not the right fit, we’ll rematch you quickly. If your needs shift later on, we offer one free replacement within the first year. We want to make sure both parties are set up for success, not lock you into the wrong setup.

Of course! We still keep a high touch point with you and your Assistant even after we’ve placed them to make sure that they’re performing well, delivering, and and to tailor the experience as best as we can to fit you. If things ever feel off track, we intervene early to make sure it’s working for both sides.

In our contracts, each assistant has up to 12 days of paid-time off for illness, emergencies, and more per calendar year.

As for holidays, it’s ultimately your call for what works best for your rhythm. Some clients align to U.S. holidays and some to Philippine holidays — we typically default to what you and the Assistant agree on.

All our Assistants sign NDAs prior to deployment. We also use a mobile device management (MDM) system and VPN tooling installed on every assistant’s device, giving us control over things like password strength, remote-wipe, encryption, and endpoint monitoring. We’ll also help you implement tool access best practices (e.g. 1Password, GSuite roles) to keep everything tight.

For liability, we are a registered US entity (Delaware C-Corp). Our Philippines-based assistants are bound by the Data Privacy Act of 2012 in the Philippines which allows us to hold assistants accountable for data breaches.

That's awesome to hear! Just reach out, and we'll help you get started.

We'll take the time to figure out exactly what kind of remote assistant you need, learn about your work style, and find someone who's a perfect match.

While we're working on the matchmaking process (which usually takes 1–2 weeks), you'll get access to complimentary research services from our assistants on standby. Our goal is to start lightening your load as soon as possible!
