How much does an offshore executive assistant cost, and how does hiring one work?
Offshore executive assistants cost USD 1,100–2,000 per month all-in at mid-level, USD 2,000–2,900 for senior chief-of-staff-adjacent hires. The Philippines is the deepest and strongest market by a wide margin.

What does a strong executive assistant change?
The EA role only works if the person stays long enough to build context — which is exactly why marketplace hiring fails at it and employment succeeds. Sprint Labs employs the assistant with local benefits and HR support, so your context doesn't walk out the door every eight months.

Interviewing an executive assistant.
Test judgement, not obedience
Give a scenario: two meetings clash and both are important. The answer reveals whether they'll manage your calendar or just record it.
Written English under time pressure
Ask them to draft a polite decline to a low-value meeting request in ten minutes. Tone is the job.
Discretion
EAs see everything. Ask how they've handled confidential information before. Sprint Labs contracts include confidentiality clauses, but you still want to hear the instinct.
Add AI accent conversion for $1/hour per user.
If the role spends time on the phone, our AI accent conversion neutralises accent in real time so every call lands clearly with your customers — without losing the person behind the voice.
Real-time neutralisation
Accent is softened live on the call, with latency low enough that the conversation still feels natural.
Their voice, preserved
Tone, pace, warmth and intent stay theirs. It is your actual team member on the line, just easier to follow.
Your existing phone system
Layers over the softphone or dialler you already run. No porting, no new platform, nothing to retrain.

Questions about hiring an offshore executive assistant.
How is this different from hiring a VA on a freelance marketplace?
Employment. A Sprint Labs executive assistant is contracted by us with local payroll, statutory benefits, leave entitlements and HR support — which is why tenure runs in years rather than months. You also get a replacement guarantee, a single compliant invoice, and no cross-border payment admin.
Can they work my hours?
Yes. Shift expectations are agreed in the Work Order before hiring. Manila and Jakarta give full overlap with Australia and New Zealand; US and UK coverage is arranged as an agreed shift with a differential built into the seat cost.
Do I need a local entity to hire an executive assistant offshore?
No. Sprint Labs is the legal employer in-market. We contract the executive assistant, run local-currency payroll, handle statutory benefits and compliance, and bill you one flat monthly seat cost in your own currency. You direct the work day-to-day exactly as you would an in-house hire.
How long does it take to hire an executive assistant through Sprint Labs?
Most briefs produce a named, vetted shortlist within 5–10 business days. From there you interview, choose, and we handle the offer, contract and onboarding — typical brief-to-start is three to five weeks depending on the candidate's notice period.
What happens if the hire is not the right fit?
Tell us within the first 30 days and we replace them at our cost. After that, engagements carry a 60-day cancellation notice, which protects the employee and gives you time to hand over work — but if you want to swap rather than terminate, we run a replacement search in parallel at no additional recruitment cost.
