Daily Responsibilities Handled by Your UX Assistant

Recruited 24 Users in 48h

"Our consultancy was hired by a Series B FinTech to run 20 usability testing sessions in under two weeks. Managing screeners, booking Zoom sessions, and paying incentives would have eaten up my entire strategy budget. Our SageDoer VA recruited 24 qualified users in 48 hours and prepped our Dovetail boards flawlessly."

Flawless Dovetail Tagging

"Having a dedicated PM supervise our research VA made all the difference. She cleaned our Descript transcripts, mapped our taxonomy tags across 14 enterprise interviews, and extracted 30 video soundbites for our C-suite readout deck. It saved me at least 25 hours of mindless admin."

★★★★★
Figma Library Restructured

"Our client's design system had 200 unlinked components, mismatched variant tokens, and rogue text styles. Our SageDoer assistant reorganized the entire design token architecture in Figma, verified WCAG AA contrast compliance, and formatted our audit deliverable. At $6/hr full-time, the ROI is unmatched."

Competitive Teardowns Fast

"We needed comprehensive UX flow teardowns across 6 competitor SaaS onboarding experiences before a pitch. SageDoer captured every step, annotated micro-copy friction, and staged an incredible visual board in FigJam. We closed the $45k consulting engagement."

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about hiring a managed virtual assistant for UX consulting and product design operations.

Can the virtual assistant recruit, screen, and schedule user interview participants?

▼
Yes. Your assistant handles the entire recruitment operations pipeline. They deploy your screener surveys across platforms like UserInterviews, Respondent.io, or your client’s internal customer list. They vet applicant responses against your strict demographic and behavioral inclusion/exclusion criteria, filter out professional survey-takers, schedule sessions via Calendly or Google Calendar across global timezones, send automated reminder emails to minimize no-shows, and disburse gift card incentives via Tremendous.

Can the assistant transcribe and tag qualitative user interviews in Dovetail or Marvin?

▼
Yes. Once an interview concludes, your assistant processes the raw recording through Descript or Otter.ai, cleans up technical jargon and domain terminology, and imports the verified transcript into Dovetail, Marvin, or your research repository. Following your established tagging taxonomy (e.g., usability pain points, feature requests, emotional blockers, navigation failures), they tag highlights and clip 30-to-60 second video bite-sized reels for your client presentations.

How do you safeguard client pre-launch prototypes, design IP, and user PII?

▼
Data security and strict design confidentiality are non-negotiable. All SageDoer personnel operate under legally binding bilateral Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs). Your Figma files, unreleased product roadmaps, and interview recordings remain within your secure, role-restricted workspaces using password managers (1Password/Bitwarden) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). We never download local unencrypted copies of customer PII or confidential prototypes.

Can the assistant set up unmoderated usability tests in Maze or Lyssna?

▼
Yes. Your assistant links your Figma prototype flows into testing platforms like Maze, UserTesting, or Lyssna. They configure mission prompts, set up conditional paths, embed follow-up single-ease questions (SEQ), and run pre-flight pilot tests to verify that interaction hotspots work smoothly. After the test closes, they aggregate metrics into spreadsheets: Task Success Rates, Time-on-Task, Misclick heatmaps, and System Usability Scale (SUS) calculations.

Is the dedicated Project Manager’s supervision really 100% free?

▼
Yes, completely free. You only pay for the logged working hours of your assigned UX Virtual Assistant ($6/hr on Full-Time or $7/hr on Part-Time). Your Project Manager's quality checks on participant screening, tagging consistency audits, timesheet verifications, and custom account SOP documentation are provided at zero additional surcharge.
