At Assist Recruiting, we help boutique and growing recruitment firms scale — without burning out. Our VAs are trained for one thing: supporting recruiters like you.
Our Story
Assist Recruiting was born from the real-world challenges faced by recruitment leaders trying to scale without burning out.
As the Founder and CEO of Elton Aclao Recruitment Group, I’ve spent years helping companies across IT, construction, legal, digital, sales, and marketing build high-performing teams. But behind every successful placement was the often-overlooked hustle: sourcing, admin, inbox cleanup, follow-ups, formatting, and CRM work — the tasks that eat up time and energy.
I created Assist Recruiting to solve that problem — not just for our clients, but for other recruiters and agency owners too. Our mission is simple: to help recruitment firms scale smarter by providing reliable, well-trained virtual assistants and sourcing support from the Philippines.
With a focus on quality, speed, and trust, Assist Recruiting blends my passion for global staffing with the operational backbone recruitment businesses need to grow — minus the overhead.
Today, we’re proud to be the quiet engine behind some of the most agile recruitment firms around the world. And we’re just getting started.
What We Believe
Time is your most valuable asset.
You shouldn’t spend it formatting CVs or chasing calendar invites.
Talent should be affordable and dependable.
You can grow your team without bloated payroll.
Recruiters need recruiter-minded support.
That’s why we only hire and train virtual assistants for one niche: recruitment.
