What a Virtustant hire handles

Why Mexico works for US companies

Virtual assistants, executive assistants, customer service specialists, bookkeepers, and sales support roles are the most common; ask your account rep about availability for more specialized roles.

Can I hire a virtual assistant in Mexico through Virtustant?

Yes. Virtustant places bilingual virtual assistants based in Mexico with US companies from $7/hr all-in, with zero placement fees. Mexico City sits at UTC-6 all year, so a standard local shift covers a full US Central business day.

Is Virtustant a BPO for virtual assistants in Mexico?

Not in the call-center sense. A BPO sells you a managed process and rotates agents through it. Virtustant is a staffing agency: you get one dedicated virtual assistant in Mexico who works only for you, on your hours, and you direct the work. We handle sourcing, vetting, contracts and payroll for one all-in rate from $7/hr, so you get BPO-level cost without giving up control.
