724 Care vs Brickwork Virtual Assistants: Who Wins on Speed, Quality & Cost?
By 724 Care · June 1, 2025 · 2 min
Quick answer: To vet a Filipino virtual assistant, run three filters: (1) a work-sample test against your actual workflow — not a generic typing test; (2) a reference call with a current US principal, not a recruiter; (3) a paid two-week trial with five concrete outcomes. Skip anyone who can’t produce all three. The 724 Care vetting funnel rejects 94% of applicants before pairing.
