Virtual assistant

This is the single best platform for hiring Filipino VAs and the one I recommend most strongly. It is specifically designed for hiring remote workers in the Philippines, the talent pool is large and serious, and workers there are accustomed to long term arrangements with Western employers. You post a job, applicants come to you, and you hire directly with no agency middleman taking a cut. A basic employer membership costs around $69 per month but is worth every dollar given the quality of candidates.
Upwork
The largest freelance platform in the world. You will find plenty of Filipino candidates here. The downside is that Upwork takes a percentage of every payment and candidates tend to be juggling multiple clients simultaneously rather than being dedicated to you. Better for short term or project based work than for a long term dedicated VA.

Facebook Groups
There are several large Facebook groups specifically for Filipino VA job seekers. Search for Virtual Assistant Jobs Philippines, Filipino Virtual Assistants, and Online Filipino Workers. Posting in these groups is completely free and can produce strong candidates quickly. The downside is that you are doing more screening work yourself since there is no platform vetting.
My Recommendation
Post on OnlineJobs.ph as your primary channel and simultaneously post in two or three Facebook groups for free coverage. Skip Upwork for this particular role since you want someone dedicated and long term rather than a freelancer splitting attention across multiple clients.

Job Title: Virtual Assistant for Local Business Outreach and Client Care
Job Type: Part Time, Work From Home, Long Term
Hours: 10 hours per week to start with opportunity to grow to 20 or more hours per week based on performance
Pay Rate: $4.00 USD per hour paid weekly via PayPal

About This Role
We are a professional services company based in Los Angeles, California run by Dr. Robert Jaffe, a licensed professional with over 40 years of experience working with businesses and professionals across the United States.
We are looking for a reliable, detail oriented, and warm natured Virtual Assistant to join our small team on a part time basis with the potential to grow into a full time long term position for the right person.
This is not a complicated technical role. Everything you need to do comes with a clear step by step written script and training. If you can follow instructions carefully, communicate professionally in English, and take pride in doing your work thoroughly and on time, you will do very well in this position.

What You Will Be Doing
Your primary job is to reach out to local businesses in the United States that do not yet have a website and introduce them to a professional website we have already built for them at no charge. You will do this using email, text message, and Facebook direct message following a script we provide.
When a business owner responds positively and claims their website, you will send them a warm welcome message, conduct a brief follow up phone or video call using a script we provide, collect some information from them to personalize their site, and introduce them to our additional services.
You will also keep a detailed tracking sheet updated in real time so our team always knows exactly where every client and every outreach attempt stands.
Specific daily tasks include the following.
Using our lead finding software to identify local businesses without websites. Building professional websites for those businesses using our AI website builder. Sending outreach messages via email, text, and Facebook following our provided scripts. Responding to interested business owners promptly and professionally. Conducting brief follow up calls using our provided call script. Completing a client intake form during each follow up call. Sending follow up information to interested clients. Keeping the tracking sheet updated after every action.

What We Are Looking For
You must have excellent written and spoken English. Your emails and messages will represent Dr. Jaffe's professional brand and must be warm, clear, and professional at all times.
You must be reliable and consistent. This role requires showing up and doing the work every scheduled day without being reminded.
You must be comfortable making phone or video calls to American business owners in English. A confident and friendly phone manner is essential.
You must be detail oriented and organized. Missing a follow up or forgetting to update the tracking sheet creates problems for our clients and our business.
You must have a stable internet connection and a quiet place to work and make calls.
You must be comfortable learning new software tools. Our platforms are simple and we provide training but you need to be willing to learn.
Experience with virtual assistance, customer service, outreach, or sales support is preferred but not required. We will train the right person from scratch.

What We Offer
A starting rate of $4.00 USD per hour paid weekly via PayPal every Friday.
A consistent and predictable part time schedule of 10 hours per week to start.
Clear written scripts and instructions for every task so you are never guessing what to do.
A supportive and respectful working relationship with Dr. Jaffe's team.
Real opportunity to grow your hours and your responsibilities as the business grows. We are looking for someone who wants to build a long term working relationship, not just fill a short term contract.

How To Apply
Please send the following three things in your application.
First, a brief introduction of yourself in your own words telling us who you are, what your work experience has been, and why this role appeals to you.
Second, a short recorded voice or video message of no more than two minutes introducing yourself as if you were calling an American business owner for the first time. You can record this on your phone and send the file or a link. This is the single most important part of your application because your phone manner is central to this role.
Third, your availability, meaning which days and hours you are available to work and what time zone you are in.
Applications without all three components will not be considered. We look forward to hearing from you.
