The Role

What an Executive Assistant Handles for Your Team

When your executives run their own inbox and calendar, hours go to email and scheduling instead of growth. An offshore executive assistant in the Philippines takes over that daily load, from travel to follow-ups. Your executives still set the priorities and make the calls, so nothing important moves without them.

Your offshore hire will typically:

  • Triage your inbox and draft routine replies
  • Manage your calendar and guard focus time
  • Book travel and build each trip itinerary
  • Turn meetings into tasks with owners and dates
  • Collect weekly KPIs and compile the team report

Works in the tools you already use:

Google Workspace
Slack
Asana
Zoom

A Calendar Kept in Order

Meetings get booked, moved, and prepped before anyone has to ask.

An Inbox Under Control

Routine email gets handled daily, and only key messages reach you.

Time Back for Your Leaders

Your executives spend their hours on decisions instead of admin work.

Why the Philippines

Why Choose a Filipino Executive Assistant?

You can hire executive assistants overseas in many countries. Here is what sets assistants in the Philippines apart.

Strong Business English

English is an official language for teaching, and the Philippines ranks 28th of 123 countries for English proficiency, ahead of India and Colombia.

Proven Partner for North American Clients

The outsourcing industry employs 1.89 million people, and North American buyers make up 65 to 70 percent of its demand.

Trained to Global Standards

Filipino professionals bring experience from multinational companies, Big Four firms, and established BPOs. These environments develop strong foundations in communication, business processes, client service, and professional collaboration.

A Steady Supply of Graduates

The country's colleges had about 829,000 graduates in the 2022 to 2023 school year, and about 764,000 earned bachelor's degrees.

More Staffing helps mid-market U.S. companies hire an offshore executive assistant in the Philippines. Your assistant runs calendars, inboxes, travel, and follow-ups for your leaders. Every candidate passes six vetting gates before you meet them. You pay $1,000 a month plus your hire's pay, and a $1,000 one-time engagement fee.

The Math

How Much an Offshore Executive Assistant Saves You

We put a U.S. executive assistant next to one in the Philippines and counted every cost, from pay to hiring.

Estimates only. U.S. figures use BLS median pay plus benefits and hiring costs. Offshore figures are based on our current rates for mid-level Filipino hires. Entry-level costs less, senior costs more. Exact figures on your call.

FAQ

Questions About Hiring an Offshore Executive Assistant

Our executive assistant cannot keep up. How can we add help?

How much do we save with an executive assistant in the Philippines?

You save about $84,285 in year one. A U.S. executive assistant costs about $114,965 with benefits, taxes, and recruiting. Ours costs about $30,680, based on what our mid-level hires are paid. Entry-level costs less, and senior costs more. You get exact figures on your call.

Can an outsourced executive assistant cover U.S. business hours?

Yes. Your assistant works your time zone or an agreed overlap, including U.S. business hours. Those hours fall overnight in the Philippines, so we confirm your hours before the search starts and look only for people who can keep them. Tell us your hours on the discovery call.

How do we know a candidate is strong, not just good on paper?

Every candidate passes six vetting gates before you meet them: pre-selection, an industry interview, an HR interview, a work assignment, a tech check, and a background check. For this role, the work assignment tests inbox triage, scheduling, and clear writing. Then you interview your shortlist and choose.

Will our executive assistant stay, and what if it does not work out?

Every hire comes with 1 free replacement over the first 12 months. We also support each hire long after day one, with coaching, community, and events, which gives your assistant good reasons to grow with your team. You direct the work, and we handle payroll and contracts.
