Virtual Assistant Philippines
eleVAte was started by a virtual assistant, and placing good ones is still what we know best. We recruit for your specific role, train your assistant on your tools and manage them day to day, so you get a dependable colleague instead of a freelancer you have to supervise.

Three Ways to Hire in the Philippines
Freelancer or marketplace
You find, vet, pay and manage the person yourself. It is the lowest cost route and works when you have time to supervise and can absorb turnover.
Managed and dedicated
A company like eleVAte recruits for the role, employs the assistant and manages them day to day. You direct the work, not the employment.
Why Businesses Choose eleVAte in the Philippines
Our founder spent almost two decades as an executive virtual assistant for US business owners before starting eleVAte with two assistants in 2015. The company is still small enough that the people who run it know each account, and large enough to recruit, train and manage the person on yours.
Why the Philippines for Virtual Assistants
The Philippines has supplied English speaking support staff to North American companies for decades. English is used in schools, business and government, the service culture treats courtesy as part of the job, and the labor market is deep enough to hire for a specific skill instead of a generalist.
The time difference is manageable in both directions. American business hours fall on a Philippine night shift, which is a normal working pattern here. Australian hours overlap almost exactly with the Philippine day.
On What You Should Expect, Plainly
A virtual assistant needs direction. The first weeks take your time: explaining how you work, giving access and answering questions. Clients who invest that time get an assistant who anticipates them. Those who do not are usually disappointed with any provider.
Your assistant speaks clear English with a Filipino accent and works remotely as part of our managed team.
