No, we are an offshore service provider and operate differently from traditional BPOs. As a Virtual Assistant, you’ll work directly with the client you are assigned to.
A Virtual Assistant is an individual who provides remote support to a client, which may include general administrative help or specialised services. You could be your client’s sole VA or part of a team supporting their business needs.
Our clients are mainly in industries such as:
- Financial Planning
- Mortgage Broking
- Accounting and Bookkeeping
- Digital Marketing
- eCommerce
- Startups
- and more.
We only offer full-time positions. Work setup depends on the client’s needs and flexibility, but some roles may allow work-from-home arrangements.
No, as a stable internet connection is a non-negotiable requirement. However, we offer a competitive salary package above market rate, and our offices remain open for staff experiencing internet or electricity issues.
Yes, we provide HMO coverage.
Most of our clients are in Australia, so most roles follow a PH time day shift work schedule.
Most clients follow standard business days (Monday to Friday), so VAP follows a weekend rest day schedule.
You’ll follow your client’s AU public holidays. This means you’ll work on PH holidays but with PH holiday premium pay.
Holiday Break: We offer a 2-week paid holiday break from Christmas to New Year. If your client requests you to work during this time and you agree, you’ll receive Rest Day overtime pay.
Yes, we provide both vacation and sick leave. Vacation leave is not convertible to cash, as we encourage work-life balance and want our staff to enjoy their time off. Unused vacation leave carries over to the next year.
We offer sign-on bonuses occasionally, depending on the role. Yes, these are taxable.
Salary packages depend on your skills, background, and relevant work experience aligned with the role.
Thanks for wanting to visit our office! We don’t hold interviews onsite, as our process is designed for you to conveniently apply an interview from home.
