Trusted by leaders across various organizations
What this role does
The work a social media assistant
A starting scope, not a limit. The brief is written around your business before anyone is sourced.
Content scheduling
Keeping a calendar that is planned rather than assembled the morning it goes out.
Publishing
Getting posts out on time, formatted correctly for each platform.
Community replies
Answering comments and messages, and flagging anything that needs a real decision.
Caption and asset prep
Drafting captions and preparing assets to your brand guidance.
Performance reporting
What worked, what did not, and what that suggests for next month.
Listening and research
Watching what competitors and the audience are doing, so planning is informed.
Who it is for
When this role is
If one of these sounds like your week, this is usually the role to start with.
Posting is sporadic
Channels go quiet whenever the person who owns them gets busy.
Nobody replies
Comments and DMs sit unanswered, which costs more than an unposted week.
You have no idea what works
Content goes out and nothing is measured.
How it works
From brief to
The same sequence for every role we fill. What changes is the depth of the brief and the size of the shortlist.
Tell us the role
We start with the work itself: the tasks, the hours, the tools and what a good first 90 days looks like. Nothing gets sourced until that brief is agreed.
We recruit and screen against it
We recruit into your brief rather than sending whoever is free, then screen for skills, communication and real-world judgement. Placements average 14 days.
You interview, we onboard
You meet the shortlist and choose. We handle onboarding so the first day is a working day, and your account manager stays with the engagement.
Why Offsite Virtual Pro
Why clients hire this role
A marketplace hands you a search box. Recruiting it yourself hands you a project. We take on the hiring and stay responsible for how it goes.
Screened before you meet anyone
Skills, written and spoken English and how a candidate handles the kind of work you described. Background checks and personality profiling sit behind the shortlist.
A replacement policy, not an apology
If a placement is not working, we replace them at no extra cost and your account manager runs the handover so the work keeps moving.
A dedicated account manager
One person who knows your business, watches quality and is accountable for the engagement, rather than a ticket queue.
Ten days’ notice, either way
Plans are month to month. Pause or cancel with 10 days’ notice, so the commitment matches how the work actually moves.
Questions
Before you
The questions clients ask most about this role, then the ones they ask about working with us.
Do they create original content?
Captions and light asset prep, yes. For design work, pair this role with a graphic designer.
Will they post without approval?
Only if you want that. Most clients start with an approval step and relax it over time.
Which platforms?
Whichever you use. Put them in the brief so we screen for the right experience.
How do I communicate with my assistant?
Through the OVP Workspace, built on Zoho: a secure platform for messaging, task management, file sharing and screen recording with your assistant and our team.
Can I choose the person I work with?
Yes. We give you a shortlist of qualified candidates based on your needs. You interview them and choose the one who fits best.
What if it is not working out?
Tell your account manager. We will work with you to fix the issue or provide a replacement at no extra cost.
How do you handle data privacy and security?
We use secure communication platforms, every assistant signs a non-disclosure agreement, and all assistants are trained on data confidentiality.
Can I pause or cancel?
Yes. Plans are flexible. Pause or cancel with a 10-day notice.
