Working with A Team Overseas has been fantastic. Our EA has quickly become a core part of our team. And Kevin provided us a smooth and seamless onboarding experience with pre-built documentation. I’d say 9.9/10 if you asked me to score it.

I've tried hiring assistants in the past and it never really worked out. I found it very challenging. I always wondered “What are the tasks and how should I give them to my assistant?“. Now I'm set up with an amazing EA. A Team Overseas has been really helpful because they support both the executive and the assistant in the whole process.

I've worked with two separate EAs from Kevin's team. Both times, they've felt like co-founders. They're proactive, resourceful, and extremely well-equipped. Kevin has created a system that works, and I can't recommend them enough.

I have much more time for stuff that matters and feel much more at ease not checking my inbox every 2 minutes. A Team Overseas has top talent, great onboarding, and good EA training for a fair price. I would 10 out of 10 recommend them to a friend.

You can feel how much care is given by A Team Overseas. Kevin and my EA have been true partners as we scale our startup.

Proactivity is an explicit expectation

Every partnership is started with a ”Leverage Database”.Assistants ship process improvements every month to make sure your partnership continues to get better.These improvements compound and feel like a superpower over time.

    Executive Assistant

    Mental models and assistant coaching to drive more value

    We meet with your assistant every week over the first 3 months and have ongoing support and coaching for them too.The Contributor Growth Curve is a core mental model that we focus on. We make sure to coach assistants to not just wait to be told what to do but to proactively spot problems, come up with solutions, and make recommendations based on logical tradeoffs.

      Executive Assistant

      Work directly with high-quality, dedicated assistants

      Instead of charging a large monthly retainer and paying your assistant a fraction of it, we use a simple model: a flat $500/mo membership fee, and you pay your assistant directly. Tiered pricing based on skill level means you get exactly the level of talent you need.

      • Other agencies: Charge $3k per month. Pay assistant $700.
      • A Team Overseas: $500/mo membership + direct pay to your assistant ($1,200–$2,000/mo based on skill).

      Check out our competitors

      Ask, “What happens after I'm matched?”Headhunters and direct hire services make one placement and move on. That's the model: find the match, collect the fee, done. What happens next is your problem.We sit between a managed service agency and a direct hire model, intentionally. We source high-quality assistants who get the job done and place them directly with you. But unlike a headhunter, we don't disappear after the match. We continuously train your assistant, run check-ins, and make sure they keep growing alongside your business.

        FAQs

        Why should I work with A Team Overseas vs trying to directly hire remote executive assistants?

        Hiring directly is awesome if you're confident in your process! But let's be real – hiring remote talent can be really time-consuming and draining. And for busy founders and entrepreneurs, time and energy are the most precious resources.

        That's where we come in. We'll not only make the whole process smoother, but we'll also help you avoid the usual headaches. Our goal? To ensure your new team member is the perfect match for your needs, so you can focus on growing your business.

        Why should I work with A Team Overseas vs another EA/VA agency?

        1. Talent Level

        We're not about cutting corners or sacrificing our amazing virtual assistants in the Philippines just to make a profit. Because of this, we've become the go-to destination for the best talent – even those moving on from other agencies.

        2. Price

        Most agencies with comparable talent charge around $3,000/month. Only $700–$800 of that goes to the team member.

        Not only do we charge less but we also pay our Assistants around 1.5 to 2x more than other agencies. Retention comes from making sure that our Assistants are paid well and supported well so they can focus on client impact.

        3. People over Process

        Kevin, our founder, knows firsthand how challenging it can be to hire the right overseas talent while still managing the demands of a startup. When you work with us, you'll get personalized support from a tight-knit team that prioritizes your success, adapting our processes to fit your specific needs.

        How does paying my assistant directly work?

        You pay your assistant directly using your own systems at a rate based on their role and experience tier. Your assistant's rate is agreed upon before placement, so there are no surprises. We also offer a Managed Payments add-on ($150/mo) if you'd prefer ATO to handle payroll on your behalf. Interested? Feel free to reach out.

        What does AI training actually look like?

        Before placement

        • 5-session AI foundations program
        • Covers the AI landscape, prompting skills, and tool fluency
        • Hands-on application to real work tasks

        After placement

        • Ongoing coaching during check-ins
        • Group learning sessions
        • New tools and workflows as they emerge

        How do you vet your talent?

        Our recruiting is optimized to screen for people who regularly operate at a Level 4 on our Contributor Growth Curve.

        • Deep screening for soft skills like systems-thinking, high agency, and proactivity
        • Paid trial task that helps us get a sense of how they perform in reality
        • Alignment checks for time zone, work style, and English proficiency

        Only the top ~1% of applicants make it through. We then tailor our shortlist based on what you care about most.

        What if it's not a good match?

        Your membership includes one free replacement within the year. If the fit isn't right, we'll rematch you, no questions asked. We want both sides set up for success, not locked into the wrong setup.

        Do you offer support after placement?

        Yes. We run structured check-ins throughout the first three months: weekly during month one, then bi-weekly or monthly in months two and three depending on how the partnership is going. After that, we stay available on an as-needed basis. If things ever feel off track, we step in early.

        How do you handle PTO and days off?

        Since your assistant is on your payroll, PTO and holidays are entirely your call to set with them directly. We provide a contract template you can use as a starting point. It covers the basics so you and your assistant can align on the terms that work for both of you.

        What about security and privacy?

        All assistants sign an NDA before Day 1. We recommend starting with delegated or role-based access and expanding as trust develops. For teams that need more, we offer a Security Package add-on ($100/mo) that includes device management, VPN, virtual phone number, encryption, and remote wipe.

        A note from the founder

        The current options to get a great talent overseas are lacking.

        While they can be great at training new talent, some of the most reputable virtual assistant agencies take an excessive cut and underpay their most experienced remote executive assistants.

        Overseas headhunters and staffers are an improvement but most aren't good enough. They find you new talent and dump you off to the side to figure it out on your own.

        We charge a simple monthly fee and give more of the cut back to the assistants. They're paid 1.5-2x other agencies and are more invested and dedicated to the partnerships long term success.

        That's why I started A Team Overseas — To elevate the standards and create an agency model aligned with long term client and EA success. aligned with long term client and EA success.

        If you're looking for a low risk way to get a great remote executive assistant, I'd love for you to give us a try.
