Try Fiverr
I used to be a client on their platform. They make it glorify about how easy and cost effective it is to hire and manage a non-US VA. But after years of working with Fiverr, the people you find on FreeUp (or FreeeUp) are low quality at best. There were barely any qualified candidates, and the only one I got from the platform with matching experience to my job request tried was flaky, sucked the precious time from me by asking obvious questions out of boredom, was even chatting sex during work but mistakenly sent these chats to me during work time. This person supposedly had years of experience in managerial position in the Philippines.
I ended the hire the as soon as there was no work left
The rates were reasonable, so work-wise, I was not ripped off. But hell, I wouldn't pay to be sexually harassed again.

Best Freelancing Marketplace
Best Freelancing Marketplace! I am very happy that I found FreeUp. What I love most about FreeUp is that they have dedicated FreeUp Partners who act as mentors to each freelancers. They will help you get jobs if you are struggling to get one. You can also easily schedule a consultation with your FreeUp partner if you need help with anything.

I have been with FreeUp for a few years now and I would be remise not to commend said platform. I found great clients here and when I encountered an issue with one client, I was heard. They truly are true to their words that both sides of any disputes are looked into. There is due process for both clients' and freelancers' sides. By far, the best freelancing platform I've been in.

FreeUp is a simple user-friendly company compared to other hiring platforms like upwork. You don't get bombarded with underqualified freelancers because they vet everyone.
I also freelance with them and have found that the clients are far more eager to hire than other places. It's fast and I never have to worry about getting paid on time

Love Freeup
Love Freeup. Support team genuinely cares about the clients and the freelancers are much cheaper than I expected. I hired someone to help with admin tasks for only $7/hour.

FreeUp for the Win
I love the FreeUp platform. As a freelancer, I love the fact that I don't have to worry about chasing down clients or working with skeevy people. The team here is incredibly supportive of their freelancers and they work to try to build a community, not just a place where you can find jobs.
Sometimes it can feel like a grind trying to land a client, but when you find the right ones it's worth it. And you're going to find that grind on any platform.
When it comes to FreeUp as a freelancer if you do good work, you're good to go. If you're fishy and sketchy, you're obviously going to have issues.
I have also used this platform to hire my own VA which was made possible because of the amount of work I've been able to get. The process was simple and by making sure I interviewed and created a detailed SOW which FreeUp provided a free template for, I was able to set clear expectations. I was also able to offer a paid test project to help me decide if I was choosing the right person. My VA and I are still in the early days of our working relationship but so far I think she's great.

I absolutely LOVE my virtual assistant!!!! He has helped me with bookkeeping, marketing, and countless other things. Hands down a great experience and the while process didn't take long either. From the first free consultation to the time I hired took less than one day!!! I HIGHLY recommend very professional and quick to respond!!!

Great company with amazing customer…
Great company with amazing customer service. The freelancers are pre-vetted which saves a ton of time and they actually have people that you can speak with if you have questions.
We hired a freelancer to manage our social media posts and saved a ton of money and time not having to do it ourselves.

A bit of a waste of time
A bit of a waste of time. Multiple calls with clients who are supposedly pre vetted (they are not, anyone can post a job on the platform) and clients never get back to me. I've wasted hours interviewing and then being totally ghosted.
