How Pricing Works
Virtual Coworker uses a hourly billing through the agency model. Recruiting agencies usually charge a one-time placement fee, often expressed as a percentage of first-year pay or a flat amount. After that, you pay the assistant directly or through a payroll provider. Most agencies include a replacement guarantee, so ask how long it lasts.
Who It Is Best For
Virtual Coworker is a strong fit for small businesses that want part-time or full-time Philippine staff without direct employment. Its talent is based in Philippines, so check that the time zones line up with the hours you need covered.
Good Questions To Ask On Your First Call
Ask exactly what the placement fee covers and how long the replacement guarantee lasts.
Confirm who employs the hire after placement and whether the agency offers payroll help.
Request the screening steps in writing: English assessment, skills test, references.

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.
