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.
Consider it handled.
Your hours belong on the work that grows the business. We place a vetted virtual professional to carry everything else, and manage them for as long as you work together.

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.
Why Relève Is Different
Most agencies hand you a person.
We hand you back your week.
A great hire is not luck. It is a match that is measured, proven on real work and managed for as long as you work together, so the tasks leave your desk and stay gone.
I
Taking the Watch
Before you meet anyone, they complete a paid, timed work sample that we grade. Proof of ability, not interview impressions.
II
Two Success Managers
One for you and one for your professional, watching the work for as long as you work together.
III
The Relève Platform
Assessment, tasks, messages, check-ins, time off and billing in one place. Nothing depends on you remembering to ask.
IV
The Relève Signature
You take it too, alongside a role-specific competency breakdown, and you see the reasoning behind the match before you say yes.

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
II
Tested for the Role
Every candidate completes Taking the Watch, a paid, timed work sample we grade against the exact work you'll hand over. Add 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.

A Person Signs Off
Every candidate is personally reviewed by our team before you see them. If they aren't right for you, 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.

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 Relève Signature
A working style and competency assessment, taken by the candidate and by you, so the match is designed around how you both work.
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.

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.

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 proven through Taking the Watch, a paid, timed work sample we grade 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
On Essential and Specialist plans, our team trains your candidate on your tools, your standards and your recurring work before you meet. They arrive ready for your desk, not a generic one.

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.

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.

What you are paying for
Four things you stop carrying.
Most agencies introduce a candidate and step back. Relève stays, so the tasks that fill your week are handled and your attention returns to the decisions that scale the business.
I
You stop searching
One vetted candidate at a time, within fourteen days, never a stack of résumés to sort. Six fronts of vetting happen before you ever meet them.
II
You stop managing
Your Client Success Manager checks in and follows up so you do not have to. A Talent Success Manager coaches and reviews your professional. You direct the work. We run everything around it.
III
You stop worrying
Background checked, proven on real work, and a written 90-Day Success Plan with dated milestones we own. If the fit is not right, we replace them and you do not start over.
IV
You stop guessing the cost
One flat retainer, no hourly tracking, no surprises. Talent at 30% of the cost of a comparable hire in the US or Europe, with everything above included.

Questions
Before you book.
What does the replacement guarantee cover?
If the fit isn't right, we bring the next candidate forward. Every plan includes up to two replacements, and you never restart the search.
Is the $500 deposit refundable?
The deposit opens your search and is credited in full to your first invoice. If we do not present a candidate for your role, it is refunded in full.
Who employs my professional?
Your professional is an independent contractor working with Relève. We handle their pay, benefits and paperwork, so you receive one invoice and have nothing to administer.
What hours do they work?
US business hours. On Essential and Specialist your professional is dedicated to you full time. Starter covers up to 15 hours a week.
What does unlimited hours mean?
A full-time professional dedicated to your business, with no cap on the tasks you hand over and no hourly tracking or metering.
Is my information kept confidential?
Yes. Every professional signs a non-disclosure agreement and a confidentiality agreement before they begin.
What happens after the minimum term?
You renew in three-month terms, or move to a different plan as the business changes. Essential and Specialist begin with six months, Starter with three.
Can I change plans?
Yes. You can move between Starter, Essential and Specialist at the end of any term, so the role grows with the business.
Can I hire my professional directly?
Yes. A direct hire carries a fee of one year of your plan's retainer: $11,400 on Starter, $30,000 on Essential and $54,000 on Specialist.
What happens on the discovery call?
Thirty minutes to map the work you want off your desk and the right plan for it. No fees and no obligation to proceed.
See the right plan before you commit.
One call, a clear recommendation 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."
Sage JacksonFounder, Relève
How We Operate
Four commitments. No fine print.
I
Trust, Earned
Every candidate is vetted on six fronts and personally reviewed by our team 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."
Sage JacksonFounder, 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.

Relève's virtual staffing meets eLIVate's 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 eLIVate's Founder
This partnership exists because it worked.
She will tell you plainly that she did not build it 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, a search process already tuned to how practices run, and member pricing on Essential and Specialist.
