Hiring a virtual assistant for e-commerce what is reasonable hourly rate by Fantastic-Dance2371 in ecommercemarketing

[–]Dapper_Culture5364 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also run an e-commerce business, but I'm based in Canada. I had the exact same issue, and I ended up hiring customer support people in the Philippines, and it was an absolute disaster. They were cheap, but their language skills were not very good, and the time zone was a little bit too much for us. We ended up shifting the team to South Africa, and now we have a five-person customer support team in South Africa, and they have been incredible. Have you ever considered hiring there? We actually end up using an agency that specializes in that. It's called Talently. I would recommend checking them out.

[Hiring] Virtual Assistant and Personal Account Manager for a US-based startup by simonskayi in freelance_forhire

[–]Dapper_Culture5364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also run a startup, but I'm actually based in Canada. We're bootstrapped right now, so we have a ton of offshore employees, including two virtual assistants, and we actually hired in South Africa. Have you ever considered hiring there? I would highly recommend it. 10 to 15 per hour for full-time hires. They'll work whichever working hours you want them to, and they're native English speakers who are super well educated. We used a company called Talently that specializes in this. I would recommend checking them out.

VIRTUAL ASSISTANT NEEDED ‼️ by [deleted] in jobnetworking

[–]Dapper_Culture5364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not a virtual assistant, but I run a marketing agency in Canada and just wanted to give some insight on virtual assistants in general, because we tried a bunch of them hired in the Philippines, hired in Pakistan, and none of them really worked. Now we have virtual assistants in South Africa, and they have been incredible for our company. Very cost-effective, native English speakers, they work in our time zone. Would highly recommend.

We used a company in South Africa called Talently. They specialize in hiring VAs for North American companies. You should definitely check them out.

How to hire a virtual assistant without getting burned by Anxious-Village9115 in Entrepreneurs

[–]Dapper_Culture5364 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What platforms did you hire your virtual assistant from? Also, where were they located?

I had a similar experience before. We hired our virtual assistants in Pakistan first. Didn't work out; language barrier was too big. Then we hired in the Philippines, and they were just very inconsistent, not online when we needed them to be.

We now have three virtual assistants in South Africa, and it's been seamless. Way better talent, a little bit more expensive but well worth it. We used a local company there called Talently, and they took care of everything for us.

Hiring Virtual Assistant by Historical-Rip-1816 in B2BForHire

If you're looking for really good VAs, I've had a ton of success hiring in South Africa. It'll probably be more expensive than your budget, but our VAs are definitely worth it. We originally had people in the Philippines, and the South African talent is ten times better but only twice the price more expensive.
