Who are the virtual assistants in Very Pilas?
The Very Pilas collaborators are seasoned virtual assistants with impressive acumen in their areas of expertise (Media & Back-Office, Executive, Sales). We actively promote employing women and women that are mothers. Being a mother and woman herself, our founder strongly believes on the fierce motivation moms have to better their children’s lives through their work by being a source of income to their households. (We do hire guys that can multitask as well, too!)
Which Holidays do the virtual assistants take?
Very Pilas observes major US Holidays. When a holiday falls on a weekend, Very Pilas will follow the US federal day of observance. Since based in Guatemala City, all local Holidays are organized internally so that you are fully covered then.
Do Very Pilas assistants work on the weekends?
We provide coverage during standard business hours, Monday through Friday, in different time zones. If weekend coverage is required, a special plan can be easily tailored to tend your needs.
How is my coverage handled?
You are assigned one administrative assistant that will mainly handle your account with the guidance of the client services for your area. Depending on your plan, more administrative assistants can and will provide behind the scenes support, lending a helping hand. However, person can take the role of project manager to streamline the workflow and process. Unless you desire to do so, you do not have to interact with the whole team.
