Businesses we work with
Why hire through us
You hire the person. We run everything around them.
Hiring offshore can go wrong at the dull parts: finding the right person, checking them properly, and keeping the admin around them in order. We take those on, so you can get on with the work itself.
Screening and recruitment
We find candidates and put each one through four steps: CV screening, a first interview, a technical interview and a practical task. You meet the people who pass and choose.
Payroll and quality management
We run payroll management and quality management for the people we place, so the admin around the hire is ours.
Tracked hours
Hours are tracked with tools such as Time Doctor.
Rates you can read
Hourly rates by role are published in pounds. See pricing.

Professional virtual assistants, found and managed for you
Many UK businesses look for a professional virtual assistant to take on admin, customer queries, marketing tasks or design work. Through Pro Virtual Assist you choose from a shortlist of candidates who have passed all four screening steps, and we manage the hiring side from first call to first day. If you are in the capital, read about our virtual assistant london service.
How it works
Four steps from first call to first day
1
Discover and match
We talk through the work, then shortlist candidates who have passed our screening.
2
Interview
You meet the shortlist and choose. The earliest start is within 48 to 72 hours of choosing a candidate.
3
Onboard
We set up the platforms and tools your new assistant needs.
4
Support
Hours are tracked and we stay on hand while you work with us.
These four steps are the hiring process. They are separate from the four screening steps that every candidate passes before you meet them. How it works shows both.
Cost and method
See the cost and the method before you book
