Philippines Outsourcing Marketplace: VirtualStaff.ph

The easiest place to find and hire virtual assistants is by going to VirtualStaff.ph and simply posting jobs, messaging applicants, and hiring them directly via the Virtual Staff platform. It's incredibly straightforward, and you can use the DIY plan to find the perfect VA for your needs!

Here's how it works

FIND STAFF:

  1. Sign up
  2. Post jobs
  3. Get applicants 
  4. Browse resumes and jobseeker profiles
  5. Message & interview applicants 

HIRE STAFF:

  1. Negotiate and agree on the terms of the job. i.e., hourly salary rate, work schedule, job role, etc.
  2. Send job offers from inside VirtualStaff.ph

MANAGE STAFF

  1. Track the hours your staff works from inside their Virtual Staff Work Log. 
  2. Decide if you want staff to be on screen capturing/auto time tracker or manual time log. (You decide!)
  3. Terminate staff if you no longer feel they are the right fit.
  4. Use task management for free if you'd like to. It's optional and simply there as a value-added tool.

PAY STAFF

  1. Get invoices on the Monday of each week for the hours that your virtual assistant worked the previous week.
  2. Pay your virtual assistant weekly. Always after they worked, and never before!
  3. Optionally give your VA bonuses or reimbursements for things such as headsets.

How much does it cost to hire virtual assistants on VirtualStaff.ph?

Because VirtualStaff.ph is a virtual assistant marketplace with hundreds of thousands of Filipino virtual assistants registered, you are guaranteed that you're paying the best salary rates while still getting all the peace of mind and tools that make hiring and managing VAs effortless. 

You can find virtual assistants for between $2.00 and $10.00 per hour. The great thing is that you'll be able to choose from the cheapest entry-level VAs to the best and most experienced virtual assistants that the Philippines has to offer!

It's ultimately up to you as the employer and business owner what you decide to offer your virtual assistant as an hourly salary. Just remember, however, that you do sometimes get what you pay for.

Going through BPO companies (business process outsourcing providers)

Another option you have is to work with a BPO company. Generally, a BPO company would usually have an office in the Philippines and offer clients and businesses overseas an office-based virtual assistant or remote employee. 

Some big multinational companies go through overseas BPO providers, usually either in the Philippines or India, to provide lower-cost but skilled customer support to their customers in countries such as the USA, UK, Australia, etc. 

These companies often go through BPO providers instead of setting up their own overseas operations directly because of the cost and headache of compliance, set up costs, and other headaches that make outsourcing to a BPO provider a more straightforward, faster, and more streamlined thing to do.

In terms of BPO providers, you are usually looking at paying significantly more per hour for your virtual assistant. You can, of course, simply google "virtual assistant providers" or "bpo companies in the Philippines" and message those companies to ask what the hourly cost would be. 

Using staff finder services

Unlike a BPO company, staff finders or recruitment companies usually charge you an upfront recruitment fee, usually in the region of $500 to $1500. In return, they do the headhunting for you. 

Recruitment companies don't get involved in the management of your VA, and instead, after you have approved and opted to hire the person, the recruitment firm will usually step out of the picture and let you get on with things.
