Time ETC

Time Etc is a virtual assistant company that hires experienced remote assistants to support businesses and entrepreneurs. Assistants handle tasks such as email, scheduling, research, data entry, social media, customer support, and content work.

The company has operated since 2007 and uses a selective hiring process. Time Etc says only about 2% of applicants make it through its selection process, with accepted assistants typically having five to eight years of relevant experience.

This makes Time Etc different from many beginner freelance sites. You are not simply creating a profile and waiting for clients to find you. You apply to work as an assistant and, if accepted, can receive client work through the company.

The work is remote and flexible. Time Etc offers assistants the ability to work from home while fitting their work around other parts of their lives.

Tasks can cover general administration, executive assistance, research, customer service, social media management, Shopify stores, project management, and data entry. The exact work depends on your experience and the needs of your assigned clients.

Time Etc does not publish a standard assistant pay rate on its current hiring pages. Older employee reviews indicate hourly rates can vary, and the company has said it increased assistant fees over time.

The company also looks for strong written English, good communication, technical skills, a quiet working space, and a long-term commitment to remote assistant work. That makes this a better fit for experienced virtual assistants than complete beginners.

There is no fee to apply. Time Etc handles the client relationship, which means you do not need to spend your time searching for individual clients or sending proposals.

Current Trustpilot feedback is strong. Most recent reviews are from clients, so the score mainly reflects the service rather than the assistant experience.
