Virtual assistant positions with direct clients who hire for the long term
Aides is where businesses come to hire a real, verified virtual assistant for ongoing work. Buyers search by skill and by the hours they need covered, message the assistants who fit and pay them directly. If you are an experienced assistant who wants long-term clients, fair rates and no cut taken from your pay, create your Aides Pro listing, complete verification and start receiving messages from buyers.
- Every assistant passes an ID and liveness check. No AI personas.
- You pay your assistant directly. No markup.

How verification works for assistants
Verification takes a few minutes from your phone or laptop, and your profile goes live only after it passes.
- 01 Create your account and choose I am an assistant looking for clients
- 02 Choose Aides Pro, monthly or yearly
- 03 Photograph a valid government ID, such as a passport, national ID card or driver's license
- 04 Take a short live face capture so we can confirm you match the ID
- 05 Upload your own profile photos, no avatars, edited faces or photos of others
- 06 Add your skills, tools, typical hourly rate, weekly availability and working hours
- 07 Take skills tests to earn badges for the work you do best
You must be an adult to hold an assistant profile, and each person can hold one profile. Agencies cannot list several workers behind one account. Read the full rules on the verified virtual assistant page.
How buyers find you
Buyers start with a skill, their time zone and the hours per week they need. Search shows each assistant's skills, skills test badges, typical hourly rate and the exact hours they overlap with the buyer's workday. A complete profile with clear working hours and strong skills test results appears for more searches.
Popular roles include executive virtual assistant, customer service virtual assistant, real estate virtual assistant and ecommerce virtual assistant work.
- Choose the skills you are strongest in, not every skill you have
- Set working hours honestly, overlap is what buyers filter on
- Write a short summary with real tasks you handle and tools you use
- Reply to messages quickly, buyers often contact two or three assistants at once
- Expect a paid trial task of two to four hours before a long-term hire
How you get paid
You agree your rate, hours and payment schedule with each client, and the client pays you directly by the method you both choose. Aides never holds your money and never takes a percentage, so you keep 100 percent of what clients pay you. You are usually an independent contractor, responsible for your own taxes where you live.
Questions from assistants
Is there an unpaid way to join?

How long does verification take?
The checks take a few minutes to complete. Most profiles go live soon after, and we email you if anything needs to be repeated.
