BELAY is a remote staffing company that connects businesses with professionals who provide virtual support. Its contractor roles include virtual assistance, executive assistance, bookkeeping, marketing, and financial support.
Unlike a general freelance marketplace, BELAY recruits contractors for specific client support roles. You apply for an opening that matches your experience, complete the hiring process, and work directly with clients after being accepted.
Current contractor openings include bookkeeping, senior executive assistant, marketing assistant, executive assistant, and financial client services roles. BELAY says these are remote 1099 contractor positions with flexible work arrangements.
The work can involve managing calendars, email, meetings, documents, research, client communication, bookkeeping, marketing tasks, and other business support duties. Your exact responsibilities depend on the position and client you are matched with.
BELAY currently lists an Executive Assistant contractor role at around $20 to $23 per hour. Contractors are paid monthly based on their contracted hours, although BELAY does not guarantee a set number of hours or client assignments.
The company also has corporate remote roles, so not every opportunity on its careers page is a contractor position. Applicants should check the individual listing before applying.
BELAY has a clear warning about fake job offers. It says legitimate applicants will only be contacted through official BELAY channels and that the company never asks applicants for money during the hiring process.
The biggest limitation is location. Current contractor openings are restricted to residents of selected U.S. states, with California, Colorado, Montana, New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania excluded from the current contractor hiring list.
That makes BELAY a more targeted opportunity than a global freelance marketplace. It is worth including because the company offers real contractor roles with clear job descriptions and published pay on some openings.
Public feedback is generally positive, although the Trustpilot profile is based mainly on client experiences rather than contractor reviews.
