Assist World

Assist World places dedicated, full-time or part-time virtual assistants with founders, small and mid-sized businesses, and agencies. Assistants are sourced from talent pools in the Philippines, South Africa and Colombia, and are screened through skills and language testing, live interviews and background checks before a client meets them.

Each engagement starts with a free discovery call to map the client's workflow, tools and priorities. Assist World then shortlists candidates with relevant experience, usually within 24-48 hours. The client interviews them and makes the final choice. Most clients have a VA working in their systems within about a week.

Assist World is the employer of record for every assistant. It runs payroll, handles taxes, performance check-ins and leave cover, and assigns a dedicated account manager who stays on the account after onboarding. Every assistant signs an NDA. If a placement isn't working, Assist World replaces the assistant at no additional charge.

Industry-trained assistants support real estate and property management (MLS, CRM, AppFolio, Buildium, Yardi), legal, hospitality, e-commerce, bookkeeping and accounting, insurance, financial advisory, logistics and more. Common roles include executive and administrative assistants, customer service representatives, appointment setters and sales support, bookkeepers, and social media assistants.

Engagements are month-to-month with no lock-in contracts and no setup fee. A full-time dedicated VA typically costs about $1,800-$3,000 per month all-in, depending on role and experience. Assist World has placed VAs with more than 500 clients across 10+ countries, including the US, Canada, the UK and Australia.
