California is where hiring gets expensive fastest. BLS puts the median administrative assistant wage in San Francisco at $5,176 a month, before benefits, payroll taxes or the time it takes to recruit. In Los Angeles it is $4,463. For a five-person agency, one more in-house hire can be the difference between growing and standing still.
We built Origo for that problem. Our team in San Salvador works your Pacific hours, speaks English and Spanish, and is managed by us, so you get a dedicated specialist without opening a new HR file. We serve California clients remotely from our Miami headquarters and San Salvador operations team.

Pacific time, covered
Our San Salvador team runs on Central America time (UTC−6, no daylight saving). That puts us one hour ahead of Pacific time in summer and two hours ahead in winter, A 9-to-5 Pacific shift is 10-to-6 or 11-to-7 for us, well inside our working day, and we staff to your clock rather than ours.
