What changed for a client
½ day
“I was struggling to hire permanent staff, and basically wasn’t getting much time to work on the business strategically. [Ramp Remote] helped me free up half a day each day to be able to do this, and basically gave me a lot more time back to actually do stuff that add value to the business.”
Suzi MattingleyCFO, IlabbFind the right person for the work.
What good looks like
Give recurring admin a clear owner: an organised inbox, current CRM records, well-prepared meetings and client follow-ups that do not get lost.
Agree which tasks can be handled independently and which need your approval. Measure success through your own priorities, such as fewer overdue follow-ups and less time spent coordinating routine work.
Assess the right fit
Our catalogue candidates are reviewed and interviewed by our team.
Ask for examples of organising a busy inbox, resolving a diary conflict and keeping client records accurate. Discuss the tools you use and how the candidate decides what to escalate.
Agree a short sample task with our team if it would help you assess written communication or attention to detail. Use fictional customer information and confirm any checks you need before proceeding.
From your brief to their first day.
Meet the person. Understand the cost. Start with a plan you’ve agreed together.

Before you hire.
What the monthly price includesOur focus is a dedicated role with recurring work. Tell us the coverage you need; the agreed hours, responsibilities and employment arrangement are confirmed before hiring.
A freelancer may provide project or task-based services. Our service focuses on a dedicated offshore team member, with support for selection, employment arrangements and onboarding. Your quote confirms the hours, services and equipment included.
Tell us the working hours and time-zone overlap you need. We confirm those requirements with suitable candidates and include any shift-related costs in your quote.
The starting price is a guide for a full-time hire in the Philippines. Your quote confirms the total for your chosen person, agreed hours and service arrangements.
- Experience and scope: specialist skills, seniority and the responsibilities you need affect the price.
- Hours and coverage: agree the working week, time-zone overlap and any evening or weekend needs.
- What is included: ask for the breakdown of employment costs, our service, equipment and any one-off charges, with currency and applicable taxes stated.
We confirm these details before you commit. The starting price is not a fixed quote for every candidate.
Timing depends on the brief, candidate availability, interviews and any notice period. We will agree the next update and a target start date with you once those details are clear. If the right person is not currently available, we can recruit to your brief.
- Choose the first tasks: start with a small set of recurring responsibilities, clear priorities and the approvals you want to retain.
- Show good examples: share email tone, calendar rules, CRM standards and a simple handover checklist.
- Review and expand: check the work regularly, document exceptions and hand over more once the routine is working.
You can discuss a role without committing to a hire. Before proceeding, review your written quote and agreement for payment timing, currency and taxes, notice requirements, the support included and what happens if the hire is not the right fit.
We will confirm replacement arrangements and any conditions in your agreement before you proceed.
