 We needed to source a virtual assistant for a full-time front office position for our therapy practice.

What is the status of this engagement?

 We worked together in October 2025.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

 LatHire provided an interview with a virtual assistant who we found to be a good match.

How did LatHire perform from a project management standpoint?

 LatHire's communication wasn't good.

What did you find most impressive about them?

 There was nothing impressive about working with LatHire.

Are there any areas they could improve?

 We had a deeply disappointing experience with LatHire due to a lack of communication, structure, and professionalism throughout the onboarding process. After being matched with a virtual assistant, there was no communication or support from LatHire regarding what to expect next. We were surprised to find ourselves alone in the interview with the assistant. No representative from LatHire attended or reached out beforehand to explain the process or follow up afterward. We had to initiate every point of contact ourselves just to understand their procedures. When I finally managed to schedule a follow-up meeting (after multiple email exchanges), I received a late and incomplete Zoom invitation. The link arrived without a time, and even after clarification, it came so late that I entered the meeting halfway through. During that call, the representative excused the lack of communication by saying they'd had a "stressful day," which I found quite unprofessional. To make matters worse, the Zoom call was conducted from a free account and ended abruptly after 10 minutes. No one attempted to reconnect or continue the discussion. When I reached out to request a new link, I was told that LatHire wouldn't move forward with us due to what they described as "verbal harassment." That characterization was both inaccurate and inappropriate. The conversation was recorded and would easily show that I was expressing legitimate concerns about communication and accountability. In my experience, the LatHire team appeared young and inexperienced, with limited understanding of professional client relations. It's unfortunate because the virtual assistant candidate herself seemed promising. Until the company matures in its management approach and develops clear, professional communication systems, I would strongly caution others against working with LatHire.

Do you have any advice for potential customers?

 To build trust and deliver a professional client experience, LatHire could improve in several key areas:
