Why Choose Catalyst Outsourcing
Catalyst Outsourcing gives growing businesses senior, reliable virtual assistant support without the cost and overhead of a local hire. We recruit, vet, employ, and manage every assistant, so you get the output without the employer burden. Here is what sets us apart.
Pre-vetted talent, ready in two weeks
Every assistant is screened for skills, communication, and reliability before you meet them. Most clients are matched and onboarded within two weeks, not the months a local hire can take.
Up to 70% lower cost than a local hire
Managed assistants start from around $8.80 an hour. Because we employ them, you avoid payroll tax, benefits, equipment, and office costs that stack on top of a local salary.
Fully managed, not a marketplace
Unlike a freelance platform, we handle recruitment, payroll, equipment, leave cover, and replacement. If an assistant is away, a trained backup steps in, so your work never stalls.
One dedicated assistant
You work with a single assistant who learns how you operate, not a rotating pool. They become a real part of how your business runs.
Trusted by 3,000+ businesses
Catalyst supports more than 3,000 businesses across Singapore, Australia, the UK, the US, and beyond, from solo founders to growing teams.
Frequently asked questions
How is Catalyst different from a freelance platform?
On a freelance platform you find, vet, and manage the person yourself and carry the risk if they disappear. Catalyst employs and manages the assistant, handles vetting and cover, and gives you a dedicated, supported person.
How are your virtual assistants vetted?
Candidates are screened for relevant skills, English communication, and reliability, and tested before they are presented to you. You only meet pre-vetted matches.
What if my assistant is not the right fit?
We rematch you. Because Catalyst manages the relationship, swapping or covering an assistant is straightforward and does not leave you stranded.
