Frequently Asked Questions
Virtual assistants are professionals who provide remote support to help individuals and businesses manage their workload efficiently. They handle a wide range of tasks, including administrative support, email management, scheduling, research, social media management, and data entry, using their skills and expertise to boost productivity and streamline operations.
A virtual assistant can handle almost any task, provided your business has the right tools in place. From sales and customer service to administrative duties—such as answering calls, managing emails, data entry, customer support, graphic design, cold calling, bookkeeping, payroll, and more—if it can be done remotely on a computer, a VA can likely manage it. We carefully assess your business goals to ensure your virtual assistant not only meets but exceeds your expectations.
Like any in-house employee, your virtual assistant will require training to understand your business. Every company operates differently, so investing time to teach your VA your processes, systems, and procedures is essential. We provide the top 1% of talent, along with the tools and resources, to help them get up to speed quickly and start contributing from day one.
In the U.S., hiring an assistant typically takes around 30 days. With Distributed, you can choose from multiple highly qualified virtual assistants and have them ready to start contributing in as little as one week.
We'll send over a shortlist of top talent picks from our carefully curated talent pool, each chosen to align with your unique business needs. You'll get a chance to meet your top candidates before making any final decisions. You simply pick the one—or more—that’s the right fit for your business.
Our clients pay a simple flat monthly fee, while we handle managing and paying the virtual assistants including insurance, benefits, and PTO.
