How it works
How to Hire a Filipino Virtual Assistant in 5 Steps
You tell us the role. We run the whole search, then hand you two or three people you can see and hear before you ever get on a call. You pick one and hire them directly. No monthly fees, no markup, and a 100-day guarantee that starts the day you hire.

Why owners get stuck hiring on their own
Many owners who come to us have already tried. They posted a job, got a few hundred applications, and lost a week of evenings sorting resumes that did not match the person who showed up on the call. Some booked interviews that never happened. Others hired someone who looked great on paper and was gone a month later.
The problem is rarely a lack of talent. It is the time it takes to filter it. Our process moves that filtering off your desk. By the time a candidate reaches you, they have already been sourced, screened, interviewed and assessed, and you can watch the recorded interview yourself instead of taking our word for it.
The five steps, from form to hire
Tell us the role
Fill out the form, which takes about 5 minutes: the main tasks, the hours you need covered, the tools you use and the monthly salary you can pay. If it looks like a fit, you pay the $500 deposit to start the search. That deposit is not an extra charge. It counts toward your fee.
We run the search
Our recruiting team handles the job post, sourcing, screening, interviews and a skills assessment. You do not read applications or chase no-shows. We filter for the role you described, not a generic "VA" profile.
You review 2-3 Endorsement Packets
Instead of a stack of resumes, you get a short list. Each candidate arrives with a packet you can review on your own time, so you already know who you want to meet before you book a single interview.
Interview your favorites and hire directly
You talk to the people you liked and make the offer yourself. You hire your VA directly, with no agency in the middle, and they keep 100% of their pay. We help you onboard, then step back.
Your 100-day guarantee starts
The guarantee begins on the day you hire. The balance of the fee is due only after day 100, once your new team member has proven themselves in the real job. Up to two replacements are covered within the guarantee.
What's in an Endorsement Packet
Most agencies send resumes. We send people you can see and hear. Every shortlisted candidate comes with four things:
Resume
Work history and skills, checked against the role you described in your form.
Recorded interview
A 10-15 minute recorded interview, shared with the candidate's consent. Hear their English, watch how they think, and judge the fit yourself.
Portfolio
Samples of past work where the role calls for it, such as designs, CRM builds or written examples.
Interview summary
Our written summary of the interview, so you can compare candidates side by side in a few minutes.
When you pay, and how much
Our fee is one time: 30% of your VA's annual salary. It is split into two moments so you are never paying in full for someone you have not seen work.
| When | What happens | What you pay us |
|---|---|---|
| Day 0 | Form approved, search starts | $500 deposit (counts toward the fee) |
| Search | Sourcing, screening, interviews, packets | Nothing more |
| Hire day | You hire your VA directly; guarantee starts | Nothing more |
| After day 100 | Your VA has proven themselves | The balance of the fee |
From the first day of work you pay your VA's salary directly to them. There is no monthly fee to us, ever. All prices are in USD for both US and Canadian businesses. See the full breakdown with worked examples on our pricing page.

What it looks like after you hire
Your VA works full-time on your schedule. US and Canadian hours are standard for our VAs, whether you run on Eastern or Pacific time, or anywhere in between. Because you hire them directly, they work inside your tools and follow your processes from week one.
When the first hire works, the next role runs through the same five steps. One Canadian client started with a single VA and now has seven, each hired directly through this same process. Read the Pride Painting case study to see how the team was built one role at a time.

Step one takes about 5 minutes
Tell us about the role. If it's not a fit, we'll say so, and there's no call unless it is.
