What your virtual assistant can help with

Build your virtual assistant role around the support your business actually needs.

01

Inbox and calendar management

Define which messages your VA can answer, which need your approval, and how meetings should be scheduled across time zones.

02

CRM updates and research

Keep contact records organised, research suppliers or prospects, and prepare source-linked summaries for your team.

03

Day-to-day administration

Delegate document formatting, spreadsheet updates, appointment reminders and repeatable tasks with clear instructions.

Common questions

A few things to know before hiring your virtual assistant.

Post your job
How do I hire a Filipino virtual assistant through Permworks?

Create an employer account, post a job with your responsibilities, budget and working hours, then review applications in your dashboard. You can message applicants, arrange interviews and select a candidate directly.

Can I hire a part-time virtual assistant?

You can advertise a part-time or full-time role. State the weekly hours, required overlap with your time zone and whether the schedule is flexible so applicants can assess the fit.

What is the difference between a virtual assistant and an executive assistant?

A virtual assistant often handles a defined set of administrative tasks. An executive assistant usually supports a leader with prioritisation, complex scheduling and sensitive communication. Write the job around the responsibilities you need rather than the title alone.

Can a VA in the Philippines work Australian or US business hours?

Specify your local time zone and the hours of overlap you require in the job ad. Ask each applicant to confirm availability, including how daylight-saving changes would affect the schedule.
