We make sure the candidate passes our thorough interview questionnaire.
Based on the candidate’s resume and interview, we screen them and rate their qualifications.
When you need an assistant, we interview the candidate again. We explain the job and screen for specific skills and characteristics. If it’s a good fit, we match them with you.
Just tell us what you need.
Any way you’d like! Your assistant can hop into any app or workflow you’re already using. For example, if you communicate primarily via email, your assistant will email you. If you use WhatsApp, your assistant will chat with you there. If you prefer talking on the phone, your assistant will call you, etc.
Just let us know and we’ll handle it. If your assistant quits mid-week or you need a different assistant, we will work quickly to replace them. If you want to change their schedule and adjust how many hours they work per week, tell us and we’ll make the adjustment.
That’s totally fine! If you and your assistant agree, your assistant can work overtime. Overtime must be confirmed over text or email by both you and the assistant. This is to ensure that you’ve clearly approved every hour of overtime worked.
You won’t be charged if your assistant needs to take time off if they get sick or go on vacation. In the case of prolonged unavailability, you may look for a new or a backup Assistant.
