Companies that hire through WeAssist
A welcome from our founder
Reef Colman on why WeAssist exists and what to expect when you work with us.
You have tried VAs, agencies and freelancers.
They all failed.
You need OPs who handle complexity, use AI tools well, and stay for years.
Endless onboarding and retraining
Turnover means you rehire and retrain instead of growing. Our average partnership runs 2.5+ years.
Complex workflows stall
Basic tasks are fine. Multi-step work and context switching are not.
No AI capability
Every OP gets weekly live training in automation, prompt engineering and workflow optimisation.
Never truly integrated
Contractors, not team members. No ownership and no initiative.
Fewer than 2% of applicants are accepted, and every OP trains weekly on AI
We headhunt globally. Weekly live training covers automation, prompt engineering and workflow optimisation. This is the work an OP takes off your plate.
- Calendar, inbox and scheduling
- Client and stakeholder communication
- Customer support
- Documentation and SOPs
- Research
- CRM and pipeline management
- Reporting
- Social and content management
- AI workflow automation
Our average partnership runs 2.5+ years

We work with a small number of businesses
WeAssist accepts new clients by referral or application. We look for founders who share our mission: to feed as many people around the world as humanly possible through equally advantageous opportunities. Tick what is true for you.
Sounds like a fit? The next step is one call.
When we are not the right fit
- You need someone on-site, or in a role that cannot be done remotely.
- You want a task list handled by the hour rather than a full-time team member.
- Your working hours leave no overlap with your OP's, so nothing can be handed over live.
