What Oceans Does
Oceans recruits and vets in Sri Lanka, then matches assistants to founders and executives.
It emphasizes long-term placements and growth into broader operational roles.
How Pricing Works
Oceans uses a monthly fee for a dedicated assistant model. Managed services charge a monthly fee that covers the assistant's pay, supervision, and replacements. Because the provider employs the assistant, you avoid payroll and compliance work, but the monthly fee will be higher than paying someone directly.
Who It Is Best For
Oceans is a strong fit for founders who want an executive assistant or chief of staff style hire. Its talent is based in Sri Lanka, so check that the time zones line up with the hours you need covered.
Things To Check Before You Sign
Clarify who your day-to-day contact is and how issues get escalated.
Ask about working hours, holidays, and backup coverage.
Confirm data security practices, especially if the assistant will handle customer data.

Before You Commit
Questions To Ask Any Virtual Assistant Company
Use these on the first call. Clear answers are a good sign. Vague ones tell you something too.
Who employs the assistant, and who pays them?
The answer decides your legal exposure, your costs, and who handles problems.
What exactly did you check before introducing this person?
Ask for the English test, the skills assessment, and the reference calls, not a summary.
What happens if it is not working after two weeks?
Replacement terms, refund windows, and notice periods should be in writing.
Which hours will they work, and in what time zone?
Overlap with your day matters more than the region name on the website.
How do you handle data security and access?
Passwords, customer data, and payment details need a process, not a promise.
What is the total monthly cost, including fees?
Placement fees, platform fees, and payroll charges add up. Get one number.
