Frequently asked questions
How much does a Hardworking virtual assistant cost?⌄
Most VAs on HardworkingPH charge between $5 and $15 per hour, depending on experience and specialization. General admin VAs sit at the lower end; specialized VAs (executive assistants, social media VAs, bookkeeping VAs) range $10-$15. That's typically 60-80% lower than hiring a US-based VA at $25-$50/hour, with comparable or better English.
How do I know they're actually qualified?⌄
Every VA on HardworkingPH passes identity verification and skill-tests before their profile goes live. Each profile shows verified work history, employer reviews from real engagements, and skill assessments. You can also run your own custom skill test on each application before hiring.
Can they work my timezone?⌄
Yes. Our remote workers are used to working US (EST/PST), EU, and AU shifts. Many are based in the Philippines (UTC+8), where night shifts on Western hours have been the BPO industry standard for two decades. Workers from other regions filter by timezone preference on their profile.
How do I pay them?⌄
Through our escrow — Wise or PayPal. You fund weekly invoices generated from their TimeProf-tracked hours. Worker keeps 100% of their hourly rate; you pay a 4% platform fee on top. We handle currency conversion and PH-side payouts (GCash, bank transfer, PayPal).
Is this safer than hiring directly off Facebook?⌄
Yes — verified identities, escrow protection, dispute resolution, audit trail of tracked hours with screenshots. The Facebook freelance route has no protection if things go wrong. We charge a small fee for the protection; many employers find it pays for itself the first time something goes sideways.
