Our Story

quickskill was founded in 2009 in Silicon Valley by global financial industry executive Eric Taussig. In his travels throughout Asia and Latin America, he encountered countless bright, creative, motivated college grads stuck in call center and service jobs that offered little satisfaction or advancement opportunities.

Meanwhile, in his work with United States tech companies, Eric met executives crumbling under the load of administrative work forced on them by technology that replaced administrative assistants.

quickskill was born and has evolved into the fully managed virtual assistant service that it is today, bridging the wealth of opportunity in the United States with the wealth of talent in remote regions of the world where opportunity is scarcer.

quickskill offers managed administrative services focused on human-centered connection and empowerment, amplifying the lives and work of its members and its employees. quickskill hires, trains, and manages assistants as full-time employees with full benefits, empowers them to use tools and systems executives use, and delivers performance management and professional development.

quickskill, Inc. is based in Portland, Oregon, with service centers in Latin America, Africa and Asia.
