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.

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.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Before placement
After placement
Our recruiting is optimized to screen for people who regularly operate at a Level 4 on our Contributor Growth Curve.
Only the top ~1% of applicants make it through. We then tailor our shortlist based on what you care about most.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Our clients love working with us. Here are some of their testimonials.
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.
