Job Description

**About We Are Working**

We Are Working (WAW) is a full-service staffing company specializing in helping small to midsize businesses hire offshore talent, also known as virtual assistants (VA). Much of our competition are foreign-based companies that do little more than offer a very low hourly rate and connect a company with a VA and leave much of the ‘figuring it out’ up to the client. We Are Working is different in that we are more full service and we layer into the equation rock solid workflow and strong supervision of the VA. We are workflow experts and once we take over a task, all of the operational headaches associated with that task are handled by WAW from that point forward.
