Where to hire an Assistant Property Manager?

Woman Working
You can hire for this role locally. However, that option is time-consuming. You must develop a clear job description, write an advertisement, and post it on job boards, newspapers, and social media sites.
You will also need to sort through numerous applicants, many of whom may be unqualified. This will be followed by conducting interviews and background checks.
Finally, you will have to provide them with a computer, desk, chair, and phone, as well as office space. In most cases, you’ll also end up paying more when you hire locally.
A better option is to hire virtually and partner with ShoreAgents:
  • ShoreAgents helps you develop your job description, then provides you with candidates to interview.
  • ShoreAgents provides a spacious, modern office where the virtual assistant works with others filling similar roles for other companies. We also provide the space and computer setup.

  • The lower labor cost of the Philippines means you can hire at least three assistants for the price of one locally.
  • The Philippines has over 45 million skilled English-speaking and hardworking staff who are keen to work with international businesses.
  • The workforce is fluent in English.
  • Filipinos share many cultural similarities with Brits, Aussies, New Zealanders, Americans, and Canadians.
