Here’s what happens when you hire a virtual assistant - your to-do list magically shrinks, and your business runs smoother than ever without overloading tasks onto your in-house team.
From managing emails and scheduling appointments to handling social media and data entry—VAs can be a game-changer for you as a business owner.
But finding the perfect VA can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack, especially when wading through countless online profiles on professional networking sites. Moreover, if you have no experience hiring a remote professional, you may pay a lot more for a VA without the required skillset than getting matched with an expert VA for a lower price point.
This is why opting for platforms and agencies that specialize in matching businesses and business owners with VAs is ideal.
There are many advantages of turning to a matching VA company:
VA Staffer is an agency that provides virtual assistants to businesses located all over the globe. This platform not only helps you hire—it also trains and manages the hired VA on your behalf, acting as a complete delegation solution for your business.

The company will set you up with a VA who is tailored to your requirements.
Upon evaluating the platform on different criteria, these are some potential pros and cons that we could identify:
VA Staffer is a Philippines-based VA platform providing remote professionals mainly specialized in administrative tasks. If you own a business that needs a helping hand with admin or basic back office duties, consider hiring a VA from this platform. You will get dedicated assistance, and their pricing is relatively affordable.
However, when it comes to delegation, a platform’s credibility is crucial in determining your experience with them and their VAs. Unfortunately, VA Staffer disappoints in this aspect. The platform’s credibility cannot be gauged since it's not listed on any independent review site.
So, our verdict? Find a credible platform. If your outsourcing needs are administrative, many agencies provide the same assistance at an equally affordable price point. Hence, make credibility your decisive factor.
