Protect Your Time With a Dedicated Executive Assistant

When you run a business, your time is the most valuable thing you have. Yet a big part of every week goes on email, scheduling, travel, follow-ups and admin that someone else could handle.

Outwork Staffing connects you with experienced Executive Assistants in the Philippines who manage your day so you can focus on leading the business. They work your hours, learn how you like things done and report directly to you.

Most businesses save 70 to 90% compared to a local hire, and you only pay our recruitment fee once we place someone you are happy with.

We also help businesses hire Virtual Assistants, Bookkeepers and Customer Service Representatives.

What Business Owners Are Saying

I would absolutely recommend Outwork Staffing to anyone that is looking to hire! I have used other agencies to hire staff in the past and I can honestly say that Outwork is a step above. From the quality of the candidates that they chose for me, to the ease of the hiring process, it was a pleasure working with them.

Nikki Nelson 
Head of Operations - The Church Co 

Outwork was incredibly quick and kind in both how they interacted with my team and with our potential candidates. They had personal connections with candidates and were able to provide pre-vetted hires where they could speak to the character of each person. If you are looking to hire some great folks in areas like the Philippines, Outwork will be one of the fastest and most thoughtful groups to be able to do that.

Niko Fotopolus

The experience with Outwork Staffing was seamless and effortless - very little time was spent on our end and we found a great candidate that will be a key asset to our team. I would definitely recommend Outwork Staffing to anyone looking to scale their team in a meaningful way!

Matt Johnson

Outwork was able to find someone with the right professional experience, amazing drive and a willingness to learn technology. We've worked with her for months now and our only regret is not working with her sooner.

Micah's small business was scaling up and he needed someone to manage order fulfillment from his online store. Outwork Staffing found and vetted a virtual assistant with e-commerce experience to take that off his plate letting him focus on growing the business not working in it.
