Six fronts
of vetting on every candidate, before you ever meet them.
Consider it handled.
Virtual Executive Staffing · Fully Managed
Most hires look right on paper and still end up adding to your plate. Relève vets every candidate on six fronts, prepares them for your role before day one, and manages everything after. You get relief, not another person to manage.
re·lève
French: the relief shift, the changing of the watch
You've stood every watch since the day you opened. Relève exists for the moment someone capable steps up, takes the keys, and says: rest, I have it from here.
The Real Risk
Hires rarely fail on skill.
They fail on fit.
The resume was right. The working style wasn't. A founder who moves fast, paired with someone who needs every step spelled out. A leader who wants a daily update, paired with someone who goes quiet until the work is done. Neither is wrong. They just don't fit.
So you end up managing the person you hired to lighten the load. The work drifts back to your desk, and the search starts over.
Relève exists to end that cycle. Every candidate is vetted on six fronts before you meet them, and fully managed after you say yes.
One candidate
presented to you, approved by name. Never a pile of resumes.
Fully managed
a Client Success Manager for you, a Talent Success Manager for them. Nothing new on your plate.
The Relève Difference
Trust, earned on six fronts.
A resume tells you what someone can do. It never tells you how they'll work with you, or whether you can hand them the keys. So we check both, before you ever meet.
I
Your Business, Studied First
Your Client Success Manager learns how you operate: your pace, your standards, the work you want off your desk. The role is built around what you actually need, not a generic job title.
II
Tested for the Role
Capability is measured against the exact work you'll hand over. Proven experience, live interviews, and written and spoken English at the level your clients expect.
III
Matched to How You Work
You and every candidate complete The Relève Signature, our own working style and personality instrument. Pace, communication, how much direction you give and need. Fit is designed, not guessed.
IV
Background Checked and Verified
Identity, right to work and background are confirmed before anyone is presented. You know exactly who you're handing the keys to.
V
We Interview Many. You Meet One.
No pile of resumes, no interview marathon. We narrow the field ourselves and bring forward one professional, ready for your decision.
VI
Approved by Name
No candidate reaches you without a named Relève approval. Approve or decline, and if it isn't right, the next one comes forward.
Who We Place
Any seat you need filled. One standard of talent.
Experienced virtual professionals in the roles that consume your week, and any role beyond them. If it can be done remotely, we can staff it, and we vet every seat the same way.
I
Executive Assistants
Calendar, inbox, travel, and the hundred decisions a day that never needed you.
II
Client Care & Front Desk
The voice your clients hear first: warm, polished, and reliably yours.
III
Lead Follow-Up & Sales Support
Every inquiry answered, every lead nurtured, no opportunity left cold.
IV
Social & Marketing
Content scheduled, newsletters sent, presence maintained, without your hands on it.
V
Operations & Admin
Systems run, records kept, loose ends tied. The quiet engine of the business.
VI
The Role You Have in Mind
Describe the seat. If a great remote professional can fill it, we'll find them.
The Process
One conversation from you. Everything after, handled.
01
Describe how you work
A focused conversation about your business, the role, and the way you lead. You complete The Relève Signature. No fees to begin.
02
The search begins
A $500 deposit opens the search, the only payment until your hire starts.
03
Vetted on six fronts
Tested for the role, background checked, matched to your working style, and prepared for your desk. We interview many.
04
Meet one. Hand it over.
You meet one professional, approved by name, within 14 days. Say yes, and we handle everything after.
The Relève Standard
Guaranteed. In writing.
14-Day Placement
A qualified candidate for your role within fourteen days of the search opening.
Replacement Guarantee
If the fit isn't right, we bring the next candidate forward. You never restart the search.
No Upfront Fees
Nothing to start. A single $500 deposit when the search begins, and nothing more until placement.
Fully Managed
Relief, not another person to manage.
The point of a hire is less on your plate. So everything that usually lands back on yours is ours to carry.
I
Prepared Before Day One
Before you meet, your professional is briefed on your business: your tools, your recurring work, your non-negotiables. They arrive ready for your desk, not a generic one.
II
Your Side, Handled
A dedicated Client Success Manager is your single point of contact. They check in, know exactly where things stand, and follow up so you never have to.
III
Their Side, Handled
A Talent Success Manager supports your professional: regular check-ins, coaching, quality reviews, time off and cover. Excellence on day one is still excellence in month twelve.
IV
Replaced, Not Restarted
If the fit isn't right, we bring the next candidate forward. You don't begin again, and the guarantee stands.
After You Say Yes
A 90-Day Success Plan to get started. Our watch never ends.
Written Before Day One
A structured plan for your first ninety days, built the moment the offer is signed. Never improvised after.
Checked, Not Assumed
Dated milestones your Client Success Manager owns and follows up on. Nothing rides on hoping it's going well.
Watched for the Long Run
Day 90 is the end of onboarding, not of our involvement. We watch your professional's work for as long as you work together.
The Word Is Out
The best builders figured this out years ago.
"People are going to look back and wonder why offices ever existed."
Branson built Virgin working from wherever he was, and has argued for decades that remote staff, trusted to deliver from anywhere, are how modern businesses grow.
Richard Branson
Founder, Virgin Group
"I hire virtual assistants around the world."
They handle nearly everything: research, email, operations. He pegs the return at 400–500%, and profits rose nearly 30% within four weeks of handing off the day-to-day.
Tim Ferriss
Author, The 4-Hour Workweek
"I was so much more productive that it was well-worth the additional investment."
On hiring a virtual assistant after leaving his CEO seat. He started her at five hours a week and tripled it within weeks.
Michael Hyatt
Former CEO, Thomas Nelson
Investment
One flat retainer. Everything handled.
From $2,500 per month, fully managed: six-front vetting, matching, preparation and two success managers, all included.
Your relief is ready.
One conversation about how you work. We handle everything after.

The people behind
"consider it handled."
Experienced, English-fluent virtual professionals, vetted on six fronts and selected for judgment, not just skill.
Roles We Place
Built around how you actually work.
Executive Assistant
Your right hand. Inbox and calendar ownership, travel, meeting prep, personal admin, and the discretion the role demands. This is our signature placement.
Client Care & Front Desk
Phones, scheduling, reminders, and follow-through. For practice owners and client businesses, this is the seat that shapes every first impression.
Lead Follow-Up & Sales Support
Speed-to-lead, nurture sequences, appointment setting, and CRM upkeep. The revenue you're currently leaving on the table.
Social Media & Marketing
Content calendars, posting, newsletters, community replies, and light design. Consistent presence without your daily involvement.
Operations & Administration
SOPs followed and improved, reporting, data, vendor coordination: the connective tissue of a business that runs without its owner.
Specialized & Senior Roles
Bookkeeping support, project management, tech-savvy roles, or a seat unique to your business. If it's remote, it's within reach.
The Vetting
We interview many. You meet one.
I
Proven Experience
Real work history in the role you're hiring for. Not potential, precedent.
II
Fluent Communication
Written and spoken English at the level your clients expect from your own desk.
III
Judgment & Discretion
Screened for how they think, decide, and handle what they see. The rarest trait, and the one we filter hardest for.
IV
Background Checked
Identity, right to work and background verified before anyone is presented. Trust is confirmed, not assumed.
Matched to how you work.
Skills tell us what a candidate can do. The Relève Signature, our own working style and personality instrument completed by every client and every candidate, tells us whether they'll do it your way. That's the difference between a hire you manage and a fit you trust.
Describe the seat.
We'll find the person you can trust in it, and manage everything after.
Start a SearchProcess
Fourteen days to relief.
One conversation from you. Six fronts of vetting from us. One candidate, and everything after it handled.
Day 0
Your Business, Studied
Your Client Success Manager learns how you operate: the responsibilities, the tools, the hours, your standards, and above all the kind of person you trust. You complete The Relève Signature, the working style profile every candidate is matched against. You pay nothing to begin.
Day 1
The Search Opens
A single $500 deposit opens your search. Our recruiting team sources across our talent network for the experience and judgment your role demands.
Days 2–9
Vetting & Selection
Skills tested against your actual work, live interviews, a communication assessment, and identity, right-to-work and background checks. You never sift resumes or sort through a stack. We narrow the field ourselves and carry one professional forward.
Days 10–11
The Relationship Match
Qualified is the floor. We match the working relationship too: your pace, your communication style, how much direction you like to give, scored against the same Relève Signature every candidate completes. Skill fills the seat. Fit is what keeps it filled.
Days 12–13
Prepared for You
Before you meet, your candidate is briefed on your business: your tools, your standards, your recurring work, and the tasks that will be theirs on day one. They arrive ready for your desk, not a generic one.
By Day 14
Approve & Handover
You meet one professional, approved by name, and give a simple yes or no. Decline and we present the next, no explanation needed. Approve and we handle the offer, onboarding and everything after. The watch officially changes.
What Happens Next
The watch changes on day 14. We never stop watching.
Every placement starts with a written 90-Day Success Plan to get your professional fully up and running: dated milestones your Client Success Manager owns, from week one through day ninety. After that, both success managers keep watching the work for the entire length of the relationship. We'll walk you through exactly how it works on your discovery call.
After Placement
We stay on watch.
Fully Managed
Pay, ongoing support and performance reviews are ours to carry. You get the work, without another person to manage.
Replacement Guarantee
If your hire isn't the right fit, we bring the next candidate forward. The guarantee doesn't expire at placement.
Two Success Managers
A Client Success Manager for you and a Talent Success Manager for your hire, always knowing where things stand and consistently reviewing the work.
Day 0 is one call away.

Why Flat Pricing
One number. Everything included.

Know your number before you commit.
One call, an exact quote for your role, and no obligation to proceed.

Named for the moment
the watch changes.
In French, la relève is the relief shift: the crew that arrives so the one on duty can finally stand down.
The Idea
You were never meant to stand every watch.
Most owners build a business to buy their freedom, and end up owning a job with better letterhead. Every call, every follow-up, every loose end still routes through them. And the hires meant to help too often become one more thing to manage.
Relève was founded on a simple conviction: you should be able to hand the watch to someone and trust it is handled. Vet them properly, match them to how you work, and manage everything after. Lower the hours. Raise the ceiling.
"For seven years, I was the talent: an executive assistant running the room from beside the seat of power. For six more, I recruited for those seats. I've lived both sides of this exchange, and I've built the vetting systems that show, before day one, exactly who will thrive in a role and who won't."
"Every leader I worked for had the same fear about handing work over: can I trust this person, and will they lighten the load or add to it? That fear is the whole reason good help goes unhired."
"Relève is the answer I wish they'd had. You describe how you work once. We deliver someone you'd trust with the keys, and we stay on watch after. That's the entire promise: consider it handled."
The Founder, Relève
How We Operate
Four commitments. No fine print.
I
Trust, Earned
Every candidate is vetted on six fronts and approved by name before you meet them. We would rather search longer than introduce the wrong person.
II
Simplicity
One conversation, one candidate, one flat retainer, and everything after it handled. Complexity is our job, not yours.
III
Talent, Treated Well
Our professionals are paid well and supported fully, because people who are valued do work worth valuing.
IV
Standing Guarantee
Fourteen days to a qualified candidate, a replacement if the fit isn't right, and no fees before the search begins. In writing, every time.
Our Mission
Every seat we fill
changes two lives.
Yours, and the family on the other side of the placement. This page is about the second one.
Why Relève Exists
“I didn't read about this. I lived in it.”
For three months, our founder lived in Asia. Not in hotels, but in homes. At family dinner tables. Inside the daily rhythm of the communities our talent comes from.
What that proximity teaches you is simple and unforgettable: the people in these communities are incredibly talented, hardworking, and intelligent, often more capable than the opportunities around them could ever reward. What they lacked was never ability. It was opportunity.
Which is why a stable, well-paid remote job doesn't just improve a life here. It redraws a family's entire future.
"I've sat on the floors of concrete homes and under tarp roofs, sharing meals with families who gave me everything they had. I've raised money for them. I've held parents as they cried, not from hardship, but from gratitude."
"That's when I understood what a job really is here. It's not income. It's a different life for an entire family. Relève exists to hand out as many of those different lives as we possibly can."
The Founder, Relève
The Reality
Where our talent comes from.
Across the Philippines and Latin America, world-class professionals live a reality most clients never see. We show it because it's the truth, and because it's exactly what your retainer changes.
Homes on stilts over the water, where many of our candidates begin.
The harbors and hillside villages our talent calls home.
A vendor and her day's work. Enterprise here is constant. Opportunity is not.
The families a single steady salary reaches.
Daily life in the communities we hire from.
The corner stores that anchor every neighborhood. Small enterprise, everywhere.
The welcome you get on a mountain road. The kids are always first to say hello.
Rambutan season, delivered by motorbike. Hustle, everywhere you look.
A hand-built hoop by the road. Ingenuity is the local dialect.
The Relève Pledge
One percent of profits, every year
We donate 1% of our profits to a fund supporting talent families and their communities, so the company itself gives back to the same homes it hires from. Growth here is generosity there, by design.
What One Placement Changes
A salary here. A future there.
A Family Economy
One well-paid remote role often supports an entire household: food, medicine, and stability that hourly local work rarely provides.
Education Unlocked
Steady income is what keeps siblings and children in school. Your executive assistant may be funding three educations at once.
Families That Stay Together
Remote work means parents no longer leave home, or the country, to earn. The job comes to the family, not the other way around.
Hire well. Change more than your week.
Every Relève placement pays a professional well, supports them fully, and reaches a family you'll never meet.

Elite healthcare staffing meets practice-growth coaching: one alliance for practice owners who want their business staffed, handled and scaled.
Healthcare Virtual Staff
Built for the front of your practice.
Through this partnership, Relève places virtual professionals in the roles that keep a practice full and flowing, with the same six-front vetting, working style matching, and two success managers behind every seat.
Front Desk & Scheduling
Phones answered, appointments booked, arrivals confirmed. The patient experience begins before anyone walks in.
Recall & Reactivation
Lapsed patients contacted, care plans continued, chairs kept full. The quiet revenue most practices leave dormant.
Lead Follow-Up
Every inquiry answered within minutes, every new-patient opportunity nurtured to a booked visit.
Newsletters & Social
Your practice present and polished online: content scheduled, community answered, reputation tended.
Scope note: we focus on patient-facing and growth roles. We do not place clinical, insurance-verification, or billing positions.
From Our Founder
This partnership exists because it worked.
eLIVate's founder, Dr. Nona Djavid, built three multi-seven-figure practices, and she'll tell you plainly that she didn't build them alone.
Dr. Nona Djavid built three multi-seven-figure practices, and she could not have done it without virtual staff behind her. The phones were answered, the recalls went out, the follow-ups happened, while she stayed focused on patients and growth. This partnership isn't a theory. It's the exact model she built everything on.
The Partnership Advantage
Staffed by Relève. Scaled by eLIVate.
A great hire buys back your hours. Great coaching turns those hours into growth. This partnership hands you both.
For Relève Clients
Business owners who staff through Relève receive an exclusive discount on eLIVate coaching: the community, trainings, and frameworks built for practice owners who scale without living at the office.
For eLIVate Members
Members of the eLIVate community get direct access to Relève's healthcare talent team and a search process already tuned to how practices run.
Staff the practice. Scale the vision.
Book a discovery call and mention you're a practice owner. We'll walk you through both sides of the partnership.
