A letter from the founder
I started Webly Studio because I kept watching good businesses get let down by the people they hired. Work delivered late, or not at all. Excuses. Silence after the invoice cleared. So I built the opposite: a team in Pakistan that treats a client's business like its own. Part of what we do now is staffing. We find people here, we vet them properly, and we place them inside US businesses that need someone they can actually depend on.
Here is the honest part. Most assistant agencies send bodies. They collect CVs, forward the ones that look tidy, and let the client discover in week three that the person cannot write an email without help. I will not do that. When I put someone in front of a client, I am putting my name on them. That is the only reason this application is as hard as it is.
I'd rather lose you at question 20 than lose you in front of a client.
So here is the seat. You would be hired by Webly Studio and placed full time with one US business. One client, not five. Their inbox becomes your inbox. Their calendar becomes something you defend. The follow ups they would forget, you remember. The short report that tells them what happened yesterday and what needs them today lands before they finish their first coffee. You are paid by us, supported by us, and you sit inside their business every working day.
I think about this role the way a builder thinks about an arch. Every stone carries weight, but there is one stone at the top that holds the whole thing together: the keystone. Pull it out and the arch is just a pile of rocks. That is what a real assistant is to a busy executive, and that is the word I want back from you. The application will ask you which stone everything rests on. One more small thing between us: when the form asks for your city, add the word 'willow' after it. That is how I know I am reading a person and not a machine.
What I want is simple to say and hard to be. English good enough to speak for someone else — you will write as your client and sometimes talk to their customers, and it has to sound like them. Judgment about what is yours to decide and what is absolutely not: the best assistants I have met know exactly where that line sits and never cross it just to avoid an awkward moment. Attention that catches what nobody flagged. And AI in your hands every day, openly — one exercise in this application asks you to use it in front of us, because I am hiring someone who commands the tool, not someone hiding behind it. The hours follow your client's US working day, which from Pakistan means evening into the night.
The application takes 50 to 60 minutes and it is deliberately demanding. It contains checks you cannot see, and we detect AI written answers. If a machine writes your stories, it ends there. If reading this made you tired, we are not for each other. If it made you sit up, I will meet you at the end of it.

What you'll own
The Morning Report
Before your client's day starts, a short structured report is already in their hands: what moved yesterday, what needs them today, and anything that cannot wait. No filler, no essay. They should be able to read it standing up and know exactly where their day is going.
Inbox Ownership
You work their inbox, not just watch it. Every message is answered, drafted for approval, delegated, escalated or archived. Urgent things reach them fast with the context already attached. Nothing sits unread for days because it was awkward to deal with.
Calendar Defense
Their calendar is a resource you protect. Every meeting carries a real title, the attendees, the purpose, the link and any prep. Buffers between calls, no double bookings, no surprises. When two things collide, you resolve it before either party notices.
Speaking For Them
You write and speak on their behalf — to their customers, their vendors and their team. It has to sound like them. Routine and administrative communication is yours; anything touching money, contracts or commitments is theirs. You never blur that line.
Follow-Through
The quiet half of the job. The proposal nobody answered, the invoice nobody chased, the introduction that never happened. You keep the list, you work the list, and your client stops carrying it in their head.
Briefs and Recaps
Before a meeting: who is on the call, what they want, what happened last time, what to be careful about. After it: a recap with decisions, owners and deadlines, sent while it is still fresh.
Discretion and Authority
You will see contracts, numbers, personnel matters and things said in confidence. None of it leaves the office. And you will be pressured — by vendors, customers, sometimes by urgency itself — to act beyond what you are authorized to do. The answer is always to hold the line and escalate.
Working With AI
We expect you to use AI daily and to catch its mistakes. Drafting, summarizing, cleaning up notes, research. What we do not want is someone who pastes its output untouched and hopes nobody notices. One exercise in the application tests exactly this, openly.
Who we're looking for
- 2+ years supporting an executive, business owner or senior manager — real accountability, not general office admin.
- Near-native written English. Every message you send is read as your client's own voice.
- Spoken English that can carry a live call with a US customer. Assessed in the mandatory video.
- Based in Pakistan, able to work your client's US business day (evening into night, PKT).
- Escalation judgment — you know what to handle, what to hold, and what must go up immediately.
- Calendar and inbox discipline across multiple accounts at once, without dropping anything.
- Absolute discretion with confidential business, financial and personal information.
- AI-native — real prompts, real outputs, mistakes caught. Daily.
- Reliable setup — 25 Mbps+ internet, a backup connection, power backup, a quiet workspace with a working camera and mic.
- Available on short notice for a client meeting, sometimes with only 2 to 3 hours' warning.
Nice to have
- Experience with US clients specifically — their tone, their pace, their expectations.
- CRM fluency (HubSpot, Salesforce, Zoho, GoHighLevel or similar).
- Project management tools — Asana, ClickUp, Monday.com, Trello.
- Light design or social publishing — Canva, scheduling tools.
This is for you if
- You have supported a busy executive and can prove it with real detail.
- Your written English can pass as theirs.
- You know your authority line and never cross it to avoid an awkward moment.
- You catch the things nobody assigned you.
- AI is in your daily workflow and you can show your working.
- You want one long-term seat with one client, not five side gigs.
This is NOT for you if
- This would be your first remote job.
- You are keeping another job or a stack of freelance clients.
- Your spoken English cannot carry a live call with a US customer.
- You wait to be told what needs doing.
- You would let AI write your application. We detect it. Automatic rejection.
- You cannot work your client's US day — evening into the night, from Pakistan.
What you'll get
- A competitive salary, calibrated to your experience at offer stage.
- One long-term seat with one client, not a rotation of short gigs.
- Webly Studio behind you: onboarding, support and someone in your corner if something goes wrong with the placement.
- Direct daily exposure to how a US business is actually run.
- A structured review cycle with a real path to increases.
How hiring works
Apply
The form below takes 50 to 60 minutes. Real stories from your career, an inbox triage work sample, an open AI exercise, a recorded voicemail, a real work artifact, a Loom walkthrough and a mandatory video in English, recorded live on your device.
Screening
We read every application ourselves. The form contains checks you cannot see. AI-written applications and missing recordings are automatically rejected.
Interview
Shortlisted candidates meet our team. Expect specific situation-based questions, and expect us to reference your own application answers back to you.
CV and Presentation
You build a CV and a short professional presentation using our templates. This is what the client sees before they meet you.
Client Meeting
We introduce you to the client directly. This can happen with as little as 2 to 3 hours' notice during their business hours, and you need to be ready to present yourself professionally on short notice.
Please don't apply if
- Do not apply if this would be your first remote role.
- Do not apply if you intend to keep another job or a stack of freelance clients.
- Do not apply if you cannot work your client's US business day from Pakistan.
- Do not apply if you cannot record video answers with your camera on — they are mandatory and missing them is an automatic rejection.
- Do not apply if you plan to let AI write your answers for you. We detect it, and it ends the application.
- Do not apply if you cannot clearly explain what an assistant is and is not authorized to do, especially around money, contracts and external commitments.
Before you apply
- Read everything. Parts of the assessment test whether you read this page and every instruction in the form. Skimmers are disqualified.
- Block 50 to 60 uninterrupted minutes — camera, mic, stable internet. Recordings are live, one take, no script.
- Read the founder's letter first. The form checks whether you did, and some of those checks are invisible.
- Do not let AI write your stories. One exercise asks you to use AI openly. That is the one place it belongs.
- Have ready: your CV, one real work artifact you personally made, a screenshot of your speed test from speedtest.net, and a reference who can confirm your biggest claim. You will also record a short Loom screen-share, so have something real you can show.
- Your answers are saved as you go. If your power or internet cuts out, reopen the link and continue where you left off.
