When you're running a business, it's hard to do everything yourself. That's where Virtual Assistants (VAs) come in. They can handle routine tasks and free up your time.
But finding the right VA can be tough. With numerous freelancers and platforms to choose from, businesses often struggle to find a good match— work styles and skills may not align, and long-term commitments can be hard to come by. This makes it essential to have a strategic approach to finding a VA who perfectly complements your business needs.
That’s where specialized VA services come in.
There are many advantages of hiring a VA from a specialized VA-providing platform:
eVirtualAssistants is an agency that connects businesses with the top virtual assistant talent in the Philippines. It hosts a vast pool of over 200,000 VAs who possess a range of skills across different business domains like finance, sales, marketing, etc.
Once you sign up on the platform, you just need to post your job details and screen interested candidates to pick the most suitable one for your business. Once onboarded, eVirtualAssistants looks after aspects like compliance, payroll, etc. Additionally, the agency also offers full-fledged VA recruitment services, which we shall discuss later in the blog.

According to eVirtualAssistants, its VAs are adept in over 1,500 skills. This makes the platform’s service range comprehensive and diverse. To name a few:
eVirtualAssistants offers two types of pricing plans—individual and agency.

As for the VA’s service fee, rates typically range between $4/hour-$12/hour or more, based on the service type and the VA’s individual experience. Also, you can hire both full-time and part-time VAs.
eVirtualAssistants’ VAs are based in the Philippines. They are skilled, experienced, and fluent in English.
As a platform, eVirtualAssistants does not seem to be very credible. It has an average rating of 3.2/5 on Trustpilot.

eVirtualAssistants is a Philippines-based VA platform that facilitates outsourcing for businesses across the globe. You can use it to delegate both—those basic, everyday back-office duties to the more nuanced ones like digital marketing and accounting.
However, the platform’s cons outweigh its pros. Issues with credibility, collaboration, and hiring indicate eVirtualAssistants isn’t the best choice for appointing a VA. So, look for a solid alternative.
