Frequently Asked Questions

What Does an Offshore Virtual Assistant Do?

A Virtual Assistant handles a broad mix of administrative, scheduling, and research tasks remotely - freeing up your time for higher-value work. Day to day, that means managing complex scheduling and inbox prioritization, conducting research and prepare summary reports, coordinating multi-step projects and tasks, and more. Basically, they take this work off your plate so your in-house team can focus on higher-value work.

Can an Offshore Virtual Assistant Work in My Time Zone?

Yes. We match time zone coverage to your needs during the briefing process. Our Philippines hub has strong overlap with Australian and US business hours. We confirm the exact setup before you commit to anything.

What Tools Does an Offshore Virtual Assistant Use?

They're trained across the main virtual assistance platforms - Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Asana, and more. They also work across standard tools like Slack, Teams, and Google Workspace. If your stack isn't on this list, let us know - we vet for your specific tooling.

How Quickly Can a Virtual Assistant Be Onboarded?

Most clients have a shortlisted candidate within 5 business days, and their new team member fully onboarded in 2-6 weeks. We handle all contracts, compliance, and setup. You just run the interview and make the call.

Is a Virtual Assistant the Same as an Admin Assistant?

Virtual Assistants provide broad, flexible remote support across tasks, while Admin Assistants typically support a single office or team's day-to-day operations. There is overlap and we can brief either role based on your specific needs.

Do I Need to Provide Equipment for My Offshore Virtual Assistant?

No. Platintel provides all IT equipment on Day 1 as part of the onboarding process. Your new team member arrives ready to work in your tools from the start.
