How do I ensure that the VA will be the right one for my business?

We find the perfect fit: Our thorough recruitment process matches you with a VA who aligns with your business goals and vision.

Option to interview the VA: Seamless onboarding: We carefully select a qualified assistant and clearly explain their roles and responsibilities.

Try before you commit: Enjoy a 5-day free trial to see if your VA’s work ethic and personality mesh well with yours.

How long is the trial period for VA?

You will be given a 10-hour free trial period with your VA. The trial period starts once your VA has been officially onboarded.

How can I know the credentials of the VA?

At Coworq, we understand the importance of finding the perfect VA for your needs. That’s why we implement a multi-step screening process to ensure every VA meets our high standards. This process includes:

In-depth Initial Interview:

We conduct in-depth interviews with each applicant to assess their skills, experience, and communication style.

English Proficiency Evaluation:

All applicants complete the EFSET English test, a recognized benchmark for measuring English language skills.

Accountability Assessment:

We use a specialized accountability test to evaluate the applicant’s ability to manage tasks, meet deadlines, and maintain clear communication.

Through this comprehensive screening process, we can confidently connect you with qualified VAs who are well-equipped to handle your specific needs.

Beyond testing, we prioritize matching your specific requirements with the VA’s skills and experience. This ensures you get a VA who is not only qualified but also a perfect fit for your project.

Ongoing Support & Quality Assurance:

Our commitment doesn’t stop at the initial placement. We provide ongoing support to both you and your VA to ensure a smooth working relationship. This includes quality assurance checks to maintain high standards of service.

By choosing CoWorq, you can be confident that you’re getting a highly-qualified VA who has been rigorously vetted to meet your specific needs.

Do I need to sign a long-term contract with CoWorq?

We offer a variety of flexible options to fit your needs, so you can avoid long-term contracts. Here’s how:

Monthly VA Support:

This is our most popular option! You can purchase VA services and renew each month, with a minimum of 10 hours per month. This allows you to adjust your VA support based on your workload.

TaskMaster:

Perfect for one-time or short-term projects. Whether it’s data entry, presentations, or research, our TaskMaster VAs can streamline your workflow and free you to focus on other priorities.

Need something beyond a VA?

Business Development Solutions: Our team of experts can handle anything from website development to software creation, UI/UX design, or building robust systems.

White Label VA Services: We have GoHighLevel experts who can be your secret weapon for handling your CRM needs!

How does CoWorq ensure the security and confidentiality of my information?

At CoWorq, we take data security and client confidentiality extremely seriously. We have a multi-layered approach to ensure your information is always protected:

Strict Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs): All our VAs sign iron-clad NDAs that legally prohibit them from disclosing any confidential client information.

Secure Systems and Practices: We go beyond just contracts. We implement secure systems and data storage practices to safeguard your information. This includes measures like access controls, encryption, and regular security audits.

Background Checks and Screening: We conduct background checks on all VA applicants to mitigate potential security risks.

Clear Communication Protocols: We establish clear communication protocols that outline how confidential information should be handled and transmitted.

Penalties for Violations: While we emphasize prevention, our contracts do include significant financial penalties for any VA who violates the terms of their NDA or breaches data security protocols.

By combining these measures, we create a robust security framework that keeps your information safe.

Our commitment to security is an ongoing process. We constantly evaluate and update our practices to stay ahead of evolving threats.

Can I request a dedicated assistant from CoWorq or do I work with a team?

Yes, you definitely can! Be sure to express your need for a dedicated VA during the discovery call with our team so we can find one that suits your goals and preferences.

What communication channels does CoWorq use for collaboration?

CoWorq utilizes Basecamp and WhatsApp for our communication with the VAs and Google Mail for our clients. However, the client can use their most preferred communication channel with their VA as long as the Account Manager has been notified and a representative of the Management Team has been added for visibility.

Do your VAs have the equipment to do the work?

Yes, all our VAs come equipped with the basic tools they need to perform their tasks effectively. This typically includes a laptop or desktop computer with a reliable internet connection.

However, we understand that some clients might have specific software or hardware requirements for their projects. Here’s how we can help:

VA Equipment: Our VAs are responsible for providing and maintaining their own basic equipment.

Specialized Needs: If your project requires specific software or hardware beyond the VA’s basic setup, we can discuss these needs with you.

Sourcing and Purchasing (Optional): In some cases, if you prefer, we can assist you with sourcing and purchasing the required equipment within the Philippines and arranging delivery to the VA. However, the cost of the equipment and any delivery fees would be your responsibility.

Our goal is to ensure a smooth working relationship for both you and your VA. By discussing any specific equipment needs upfront, we can avoid any potential disruptions and ensure your project runs seamlessly.
