How do I hire an executive assistant through Pareto?+
Go to paretotalent.com/matching, answer two quick questions and book your Matching Call.

How much does a Latin American executive assistant cost with Pareto?+
$3,600 a month on the monthly plan, $10,000 a quarter, or $36,000 a year. Every plan has a one-time $3,000 placement fee on the first invoice. That covers the person, their training, their core AI tool subscriptions, the Delegation Mastermind for you and a Client Success Manager for both of you. If you want salary ranges for hiring on your own, read our
executive assistant cost guide.
How do you vet your executive assistants?+
We test the work. Applicants complete a scored application: an English test, the Predictive Index assessment and a video intro. The best are invited to a 10-day live bootcamp with 40+ hours of training. Then a five-day final build, scored out of 25, where every deliverable has to be a working link. One broken link fails it. Then a structured interview. Since 2024, 36,186 people have applied and 518 have passed the final build.
Who employs my executive assistant?+
They work as an independent contractor through Pareto. They sign our contractor agreement, we handle the contract and the pay, and you pay us one fee. They work full-time and only for you, with a Client Success Manager behind the relationship.
What if my executive assistant doesn't work out?+
We replace them at no cost. That's Lifetime Replacement: for any reason, at any time, no fees and no waiting period. Before you start, the Matching Guarantee covers you too. If we don't find a match you're truly excited about, you owe nothing.
Can I hire a virtual assistant from Latin America through Pareto?+
Yes. Most founders who search for a virtual assistant want someone to take work off their plate and keep it off. That's what we place: a full-time virtual executive assistant in Latin America, on your hours, working only for you, trained on AI and vetted with a real work test. If you only need a few hours of task work a week, we're probably not the right fit.
What is a virtual executive assistant?+
An executive assistant who works remotely. They run your inbox, calendar, follow-ups and projects from another city or country, usually full-time on your hours. The difference from a task-based virtual assistant is ownership: you hand over the outcome, not a list of steps. Every Pareto Right Hand is a virtual executive assistant based in Latin America.
What's the difference between a virtual assistant and an executive assistant?+
A virtual assistant usually does the tasks you assign, often part-time and shared across clients. An executive assistant runs your day: inbox, calendar, follow-ups, projects and the loose ends you forgot about. Ours are full-time, work for one founder and know the AI tools. We call them Right Hands because that's the job I did for Kasim.
Which country will my executive assistant be from?+
Somewhere in Latin America. 95% of our applicants live there, and Argentina and Colombia send us the most. We match on fit first: how you work, your hours, your tools and what you want off your plate. If you care about a specific country, tell us on your Matching Call.
Can I hire a part-time executive assistant?+
No. We place full-time only: 40 hours a week, one founder. Someone who only works on your business learns your people, your preferences and your shorthand, and gets more useful every month. Split them across five clients and that never happens.
How good is their English?+
Every applicant takes a scored English test, and C1 or above gets full marks. Of the people who pass our final build, 72% test at C1 or higher. The whole bootcamp runs in English, and so does everything after it.
Do your executive assistants know AI tools?+
Yes. The bootcamp covers Claude, ChatGPT, Claude Code, Lovable, GoHighLevel, and automations in Zapier and n8n. The final build has to work end to end. After placement they keep training, with 104+ sessions a year, and we cover their core AI tool subscriptions.
