Frequently Asked Questions

Not seeing what you're looking for? 
Read our full comprehensive FAQ.

What is Cherry Assistant?

Expand

Cherry Assistant is an offshore staffing and recruiting agency based in the US. We help businesses in the US and the UK hire global remote talent in South Africa and the Philippines. Our hires speak great English, are college educated, and have in depth experience and skills relevant to your role. We offer bulk discounts for multiple hires, have the capacity to develop dedicated call centers, and work with single placements.

What roles does Cherry Assistant source?

Expand

We can find an equivalent person in South Africa or the Philippines for just about any remote role in the US. Our most common roles are Executive Assistants, Sales Development Representatives, Receptionists, General Virtual Assistants, Customer Support Representatives, Appointment Setters, Social Media Managers, and Graphic Designers. If you have a specialized hiring need, we can fill it. Contact us here to discuss your hiring needs.

What is a Virtual Assistant?

Expand

A virtual assistant is general term for an offshore professional who provides administrative, technical, or creative assistance to clients remotely. They are cost-effective alternatives to full-time employees and can be hired for both short-term and long-term tasks.

What's the difference between a Virtual Assistant and a remote worker?

Expand

A virtual assistant is a type of remote worker who usually handles administrative, operational, or support tasks for businesses from a different location. Common tasks include inbox management, scheduling, research, customer service, and social media. Most virtual assistants work as independent contractors.

A remote worker is anyone who works outside a company’s office. This can include developers, designers, marketers, salespeople, and many other roles. They might be full-time employees or freelancers.

In short, all virtual assistants are remote workers, but not all remote workers are virtual assistants. Virtual assistants usually fill support roles, while remote workers can cover a wide range of positions, including leadership roles.

How long does it take to start with Cherry Assistant?

Expand

Most clients are matched with a virtual assistant in about one to two weeks. We handle the sourcing, vetting, and onboarding, so you just tell us what you need and we get things moving quickly. If you have a unique request or need someone extra specialized, it might take a little longer, but we always keep you in the loop.

Why wouldn't I just hire a full time assistant myself?

Expand

You could, but hiring on your own takes a ton of time and energy. You have to post jobs, sift through hundreds of resumes, interview candidates, and then figure out payroll, compliance, and benefits. With Cherry Assistant, you skip all the hassle and get a fully-vetted, experienced assistant who’s ready to go. Plus, you can scale up or down as your needs change, without any long-term commitments.

Is there a minimum commitment with Cherry Assistant?

Expand

Nope, there’s no long-term contract required. You can work with us month-to-month and pause or stop anytime. We want to keep things flexible so you only pay for what you need.

How do I assign work to my virtual assistant?

Expand

Assigning work is simple. Most clients use email, chat, or task management tools like Asana or Trello. Just let your assistant know what you need done, set priorities, and they’ll handle the rest. If you’re not sure how to set up the workflow, we’ll help you get started and make sure it fits your style.

Our Mission

We help business owners increase profits by hiring overseas talent. Save costs, scale your operations, and free your time. Our offshore talent are sourced from South Africa and the Philippines using the most intense vetting process.
