Who we work best with
A great fit looks like this.
We'd rather be honest up front than sell you support you don't need. If you recognise yourself below, there's a very good chance we'll work brilliantly together.
You're our people if…
- SMEs, solopreneurs and busy people who want reliable support — whether that's a few hours or a regular block
- People who are ready to actually delegate and trust someone else with the detail
- Nice people who value warmth, clear communication and a genuine working relationship
- Anyone who cares about professionalism and confidentiality with their clients' data
Probably not a fit if…
- Looking purely for the cheapest hourly rate available
- Needing someone on call around the clock, instantly, every day
- Not sure yet what you'd hand over — let's have a call first and work that out together
Our vetting
Every VA on our bench has been properly interviewed.
Four years of recruitment taught me that a polished CV means very little. I interview every VA myself — assessing how they communicate, whether they're genuinely reliable, and whether they'll actually suit the business they're supporting.
- A full interview with an experienced recruiter
- Skills and experience checked, not just claimed
- References requested — taken up if you'd like them
- Reliability and professionalism assessed
- Working style and communication matched to your business
- Confidentiality agreements as standard
- Ongoing quality check-ins after placement
