Compare Philippines hiring paths

Pick the support model that fits the work.

Each path below is for Filipino talent. A managed provider can help with screening and backup. A specialist team may know your tools. A direct Filipino freelancer gives you a closer working relationship, but you handle the hiring checks.

Compare ownership, backup, and quality checks before comparing rates.
01

Good fit for 20+ hours/week

Managed Philippines VA company

Ask who trains the Filipino assistant, who checks quality, and how fast a Philippines-based replacement can start.

  • Who screens the Filipino assistant?
  • Who checks the work?
  • What happens if the fit fails?
02

Good fit for support or CRM

Filipino specialist team

Look for role-specific examples, saved replies, and a Philippines team manager who knows the tools.

  • Who screens the Filipino assistant?
  • Who checks the work?
  • What happens if the fit fails?
03

Good fit for a small pilot

Direct Filipino freelance VA

Lower overhead can help, but you own screening, backup, quality checks, and access cleanup.

  • Who screens the Filipino assistant?
  • Who checks the work?
  • What happens if the fit fails?

Provider shortlist scorecard

Score the provider before you compare the price.

A polished sales call tells you very little about day-to-day support. Ask how the company tests Filipino candidates, checks the work, limits access, and handles a failed fit. Write down each answer so every provider gets the same test.

Use one scorecard for every provider. Notes beat memory after the third sales call.
01

Candidate proof

Ask for a paid work sample that matches the real job. Use safe sample data and score the result before sharing live accounts.

02

Named manager

Get the name of the person who checks attendance, answers questions, and helps when the work misses the mark.

03

Access plan

Start each Filipino assistant with their own account and only the tools needed for the first task. Add access after clean work.

04

Replacement terms

Ask what starts a replacement, how long a new Philippines-based match may take, and who protects the handoff.
