Your assistant does their best work when they feel supported. Magic handles all the administrative side of having an assistant and stays actively involved with them throughout the engagement, so they stay motivated and performing well for you. Here’s what that looks like in practice.
Why it matters for clients
No paperwork on your end
We issue and manage all agreements with your assistant directly. You don’t need to draft contracts, research local labor laws, or figure out what’s legally required for contractors based in the Philippines or Latin America.Â
You pay Magic, we handle the rest
You make one simple payment to Magic each week. We take care of getting your assistant paid on time, including currency conversion. No international transfers, no foreign payment systems to figure out on your end.
Incentives go 100% to your assistant
If you want to reward your assistant for hitting a goal, reaching a milestone, staying with you for a year, or even just for the holidays, you can send a financial incentive through Magic and it goes 100% to them. We don’t take a cut. No international transfers to set up on your end.
We maintain a relationship with your assistant
Magic maintains an active relationship with your assistant throughout the engagement. We check in, make sure they have what they need, and take care of payments, compliance, and transitions on their end. You get the benefit of a motivated, well-supported assistant without having to manage that side of things yourself. See how Magic coaches and manages your assistant.
If your needs change, we handle the transition
If the fit ever isn’t right for any reason, we manage the entire transition from start to finish. No difficult conversations or administrative tasks on your end. See how Magic handles assistant replacement.
Why it matters for assistants
One platform for consistent, high-quality work
Magic gives assistants access to a network of vetted clients. If a client’s needs change and they stop working with their assistant, and that assistant has performed well, we rematch them with someone new. Assistants don’t have to start over on their own.
Paid on time, every time
Assistants are paid on the same day every week. They don’t have to chase clients or manage billing on their own. Magic handles all of that.
Protected from scams and fraud
Unlike open marketplaces where assistants are on their own when clients go silent or refuse to pay, Magic vets every client before a match is made. Assistants work with people we’ve screened, not strangers from the internet.
Mandatory and supplemental training
Assistants go through required training before they’re matched with a client, and have access to supplemental training throughout their time with Magic. See how Magic trains your assistant.
