HIRE A VIRTUAL ASSISTANT

Hire a virtual assistant who actually feels like part of your team.

Hire a virtual assistant who is college-educated, experienced, and yours full-time: the teammate you would hire locally, without the local price tag. If you need a virtual assistant for a growing small business, this is the short version of that search.

Let's discuss your needs

A free, no-prep call, yours to use however you want.

Why hire with us

Free up your local team to do work only they can do. 

Your sales people belong at the trade show. Your operators on the floor. Your founders with customers. The everyday inbox, scheduling, CRM hygiene, and follow-up work isn't where any of them add the most value. But it has to get done.

We give you a dedicated teammate who absorbs that work, learns your business, and stays for years: backed by HR, floor management, and the playbook we've refined for 15+ years of staffing growing US businesses.

Most people looking for a virtual assistant start by writing the job post themselves, then discover the hard part was never the posting, it's the vetting. We've already done that part. So rather than trying to find a virtual assistant who might work out, you meet one who already has, and you can hire a VA this month instead of next quarter.

Top 1% of global talent

You're hiring from the top 1% of global talent.

As seen on

Roles we fill

Whatever the work is, we have someone who's done it before. 

Every teammate we place is college-educated, vetted, and dedicated to one client at a time. Swipe through the roles we fill most often and tap any card to read what they do, day-to-day.

HOW IT WORKS

Three steps. No procurement song-and-dance.

The same playbook we've run for 15+ years. Every step has a clear ask, a clear timeline, and a clear next step: none of it is on you to chase.

Discover

We hop on a call to understand your business, the workflows draining your team, and the personality of teammate who'd actually fit. No slide deck, no pitch, just the conversation we'd want if we were hiring. Many clients leave with a clearer job description than they walked in with.

Match

We hand-pick from our bench of vetted, college-educated teammates and introduce 1-2 candidates we'd bet on for your role. You interview, you choose. If nobody clicks, we keep looking: your bench is unfair to you, not to us.

Onboard

Your dedicated teammate can start in two to ten days, or on a date you set after interviews (even a few weeks or a month out. We handle HR, IT, payroll, equipment, and floor management. You direct the work) we manage everything else, including coverage when life happens.

After you say yes

What week one actually looks like. 

Onboard sounds abstract until you've done it. Here's the concrete shape of the first 30 days, the same playbook for every placement, with the timing we hit on most engagements.

  1. Day 1

    Kickoff + tooling access

    We meet your dedicated teammate together, walk through your tools (CRM, email, helpdesk, whatever), and confirm the standing meeting cadence. Your floor manager is in the room and stays the same person for the full engagement.

  2. Day 3

    Shadowing your real work

    Your teammate sits in on the actual workflows draining your in-house team: observing, asking the dumb questions, taking notes. Nothing on their plate yet; they're learning your process the way a real new hire would.

  3. Day 7

    Owning the routine work

    Inbox triage, calendar holds, the 12 follow-ups your salesperson keeps forgetting: your teammate is now running the routine work end-to-end. You're checking it once, not doing it.

  4. Week 4

    Running the play

    By the end of month one your teammate is owning their workflows independently with weekly check-ins. Your in-house team is back in the field, on the floor, or with customers. We coach in the background and course-correct so growth doesn't stall.

The honest comparison

What you'd actually get for the same role. 

Cost is one part of the decision. Capability is the other. The same dollar buys very different things depending on who you hire from: here's the honest comparison.

There throughout your business day

Working on what you need, when you need it

Dedicated staff, available throughout your business day, picking up whatever's piling up: email, scheduling, follow-ups, the work that keeps slipping. You don't fill a job description; you gain a teammate who learns your business and stays for the long haul.

  • 160 hours/month available in your time zone
  • College-educated + 4+ yrs experience

Fractional / part-time

Fractional

When you only need a few hours a day

A few hours a day from a dedicated teammate: perfect for things like social media posting, light email triage, or weekly reports. Not a shared rep splitting time across other clients' accounts; your hours are blocked for you, with the same vetted person every shift.

  • Your hours are blocked for you. Not split across other clients' accounts
  • Same vetted bench as full-time placements
  • A few hours a day on a set schedule
  • Month-to-month, no long-term contract

FLUENT IN YOUR STACK

Your tools, already in their muscle memory.

Every teammate is screened on the actual software they'll use before you ever meet them.

Built for growth

Scale your team without the hiring grind. 

Your local team stays focused on the high-value work. We add capacity in the background, quietly and reliably, so growth doesn't break the things that are already working. One placement or a whole back-office, same playbook either way.

  • 15+ years of doing this

    We've staffed dedicated teams for US businesses since long before it was common. The systems are tested.

  • Real humans, not contractors

    Your teammate is a full-time employee with us. Same person, every day. No marketplace churn.

  • No long contracts

    Month-to-month engagement. If something changes, you have flexibility. But most clients stay for years.

  • HR + tools handled

    Payroll, HR, equipment, training, time-off coverage. You manage the work; we manage everything else.

More than a hire

A virtual assistant company, not a marketplace .

Most ways to hire a virtual assistant hand you a stranger and wish you luck. We run the whole relationship. So you get one dedicated teammate with a real company behind them.

Still deciding? There's more on what a virtual assistant company owes you, and on which role to start with if you can't name it yet.

Full-service virtual assistant services

Our virtual assistant services cover the whole relationship: recruiting, vetting, onboarding, training, and a dedicated floor manager who stays with your team. You're not posting a job and crossing your fingers; you're getting a virtual assistant company standing behind your teammate, every day.

Outsource the work, not the relationship

Outsource your virtual assistant work: inbox, scheduling, CRM, billing, and the follow-ups your team keeps dropping, to one dedicated person who works only for you. You keep the priorities and the relationship; we handle the hiring, HR, training, and coverage behind the scenes.

Built for small businesses

We place virtual assistants for small businesses and growing teams that need senior help without a senior salary. A flat monthly rate, no overhead, and no recruiting grind. The same dedicated teammate, every day, for as long as it keeps working for both sides.

Frequently asked

What people ask before they book.

How fast can you start?

Anywhere from two to ten days from the discovery call to your teammate's first day. We can also interview and select ahead of time and set a start date on your schedule, even if that is a few weeks or a month out.

What if it's not the right fit?

In the first 90 days we'll re-match if needed, at no cost. Most clients never use it, our hand-picked candidates and onboarding shadow week catch fit issues before they become problems, but the option is there so you stay in control of who's on your team.

What does the call actually involve?

A real conversation, not a pitch. We ask questions about your business and the workflows draining your team, then send you a recommended team mix and pricing within 24 hours. You decide what to do next (book, think, or pass) and we don't follow up unless you ask us to.

Do I have to commit long-term?

No. Month-to-month engagement, no long-term contract, no setup fees. Cancel with notice if your situation changes. The relationship continues for as long as it's working for both sides. And most placements stay for years because the teammate becomes part of the team.

Why hire through you instead of an agency or freelancer?

Freelancers churn and split their attention across multiple clients. Agencies abstract the relationship. You talk to an account manager, not the person doing the work. We give you ONE dedicated teammate who works only for you, with our HR team and floor managers behind them so they don't ghost you when life happens.

Are you a virtual assistant company or a freelancer marketplace?

A company. Online VA Team is a virtual assistant company. We recruit, vet, train, and manage every teammate, with HR and floor managers behind them. Our virtual assistant services cover the whole relationship, not just an introduction, so you get the accountability of a company and the focus of one dedicated person instead of the churn of a gig marketplace.

Do you work with small businesses?

Yes. Most of our clients are small businesses and growing teams. We place virtual assistants for small businesses at a flat monthly rate with no overhead, so you can outsource the work draining your team: inbox, scheduling, CRM, billing, follow-ups, without building an in-house hiring function to do it.
