Part time virtual assistant
Hire a part time virtual assistant
A part time virtual assistant works 20 hours a week, 80 hours a month, for your business, which suits you when you need help but not a full time hire. We find the candidate, put them through four screening steps and run payroll management and quality management. Hours are tracked. The earliest start is within 48 to 72 hours of choosing a candidate.

Fit
Is a part time assistant right for you?
A part time assistant suits you if
- You are a founder or run a small team and have around 80 hours of work a month.
- The work is regular but does not fill a week: inbox, bookings, content upkeep, data entry.
- You want to start small and add hours later.
Another option may suit you better if
- You have 160 hours or more of work a month: a full time virtual assistant gives you one person for the whole week.
- You need several roles: a virtual assistant team covers more skills.
- You need someone in your office: an employee is the better fit.
