## FAQ

- What is Cherry Assistant?
  Cherry Assistant is an offshore staffing and recruiting agency that helps US and UK founders and growing teams hire vetted remote professionals. South Africa is our primary recruiting market, with additional hiring in Latin America and the Philippines. Our hires speak great English, are college educated, and have deep experience relevant to your role.
- How does Cherry Assistant find talent?
  Our recruiters source from multiple channels, run structured screening, and only present vetted candidates that match your responsibilities, communication standards, and timezone needs.
- Why not just hire directly on my own?
  You can, but most teams lose significant time in sourcing and screening. We handle recruiting, vetting, and shortlist quality so your team can focus on interviews and final decisions.
- What roles can Cherry Assistant help fill?
  We can source talent for most remote functions, including executive assistants, SDRs, customer support, marketing support, bookkeeping, and operations roles. For specialized hiring needs, we can scope it with you directly. Book a meeting: https://www.cherryassistant.com/book-a-meeting to review your exact hiring plan.
- Do your hires work in our timezone?
  Yes. We prioritize candidates who can work in the client’s operating hours and collaborate in real-time with your team.
- How long does it take to hire someone?
  Most engagements move from kickoff to a vetted shortlist in about two weeks. Specialist roles can take longer, but we keep the search visible the whole way.
- Do you help with payroll and compliance?
  Yes. For managed plans, Cherry Assistant handles international payroll and compliance workflows so your internal team does not have to run those operations manually.
- How do your pricing models work?
  We offer two models: Direct Placement and Managed Hire. Direct Placement starts with a refundable deposit and the remainder is paid only when you hire. Managed Hire is a monthly model with ongoing support.
- What if a candidate is not the right fit?
  If fit is not right, we work with you on replacements based on your selected service model and active plan terms.
- Can we hire the candidate directly later?
  Yes. We offer a buyout option for managed engagements when you want to transition the candidate to a direct internal relationship.
- Can you help us hire technical roles and engineers?
  Yes. We support both business support roles and technical hiring tracks, including specialized talent where role requirements are clearly defined.
- Is there a minimum commitment?
  No long-term contract is required for standard managed plans. You can work month-to-month and pause or cancel anytime.
- How do we get started?
  Start with a short discovery call. We align on responsibilities, seniority, timezone overlap, and target outcomes, then launch sourcing immediately.
