Frequently Asked Questions
Who are the candidates listed?
These candidates reached out to us interested in working for our company Magic. While these people did not end up working with us, we believe many of them would make great virtual assistants. Each person sent a written agreement to be listed here.
Why is this a free list? Is there a catch?
It's free, and there's no catch. We are confident using Magic is a better experience than hiring your own virtual assistant. However, if you want to hire one, we wanted to give you a great list of candidates for free. We'd love to offer these people a job and to have you find a great virtual assistant.
How much do I need to pay my assistant?
It completely depends on the rate you negotiate.You must agree upon a salary and determine a method of paying your assistant. If you're unsure of how to do this, we recommend creating an offer to your candidate via Upwork.
What can they do for me? Can they do ____?
This is something you'll have to find out when talking to them. Each assistant has written a paragraph about themselves and their skills. You can search for a specific skill set using our search bar. If it's your first time hiring a virtual assistant, we also recommend just diving in, reaching out to a few, and scheduling some Skype interviews to get a feel for what you're looking for.
How is Magic different?
Magic has already done the hard work for you. We're already sourced, hired, and trained awesome personal assistants. They work in a secure environment and use special task management software we've developed to make sure your tasks don't get dropped. All of our assistants are salaried employees with benefits (e.g. health insurance, vacation leave, fun events, etc.) You also only pay for the exact minutes they spend working, and you'll never have to manage them or manage their time. There are a ton of other benefits, which you can read here.
