FAQ

What’s often asked
about us.

Generally, after the strategy call we need a week or two to prepare for the Virtual Assistant onboarding and start date. This gives us time to find and interview the right candidates, send them to you for the review and approval process, negotiate a salary and contract for the chosen hire, and train them on your requested subjects.

IVA offers many different service levels and packages. Placement services start at just $1000 and you could pay as little as $3.13/hr for Virtual Assistant services.

The Virtual Assistants we source are implementors, not visionaries. They can follow established processes and potentially improve upon them, but they generally won't be qualified to troubleshoot them or envision new processes. We try to fill roles that include repetitive tasks, not tasks that would be better done by executives.

IVA works with digital businesses because all Virtual Assistants work remotely, not on location. Phone calls can be forwarded to an off-site location, documents can be scanned into cloud storage by you, and other processes can be set up by you to enable a Virtual Assistant to help from afar.

We source our Virtual Assistants from across the globe, but largely find great candidates in the Phillipines, Central America, and South America.

The Virtual Assistants we source can be available whenever you need them to be. They are accustomed to working U.S. business hours, but those in East Asia would potentially prefer to work during their own daytime. We ask every candidate their availability prior to qualifying them so we'll match them with businesses accordingly. We place part- and full-time Virtual Assistant.

We take on the heavy lifting of qualifying and interviewing the candidates before passing them to you so that you don't even have to interview them if you don't want to. We train them on subjects relevant to your needs. We offer to handle the salary and contract negotiations so you don't have to. We offer to provide ongoing Virtual Assistant training and support to ensure good performance. If the candidate doesn't work out we will replace them. You can be automatically billed monthly through us. Essentially, instead of a middle-man-platform you get a real-life-liaison.

Great question! We do in-depth research on the socioeconomic environments in all of our source locations and keep current on cost of living, average salary, and political situations that could impact our Virtual Assistants. We ensure everybody is making a liveable wage in their place of residence and many hires actually have a hugely increased quality of life because of being matched through Instant Virtual Assistant. We like to consider this globalizing wealth.

It varies, but most have Bachelor's degrees and some work experience. We get a lot of folks with education in Business Administration, Engineering, and Communications. Many Virtual Assistants come from the BPO industry or have been Virtual Assistants previously. Some candidates are still in school, back in school, or didn't complete higher education.

We try to keep it simple. During our strategy call we gather as much information as possible to build your ideal candidate avatar and a full job description. Then, you sit back while we sift through our applicants, compare relevant data points, assess qualifications, analyze our options, and interview them. When we have 1-3 options we'll reach out and send you an interview video. From there, you can decide to see more candidates, go with one we provided, or have us set up one or more interviews. That's it!

After you choose your Virtual Assistant we train them on the subjects you've requested and then set a call between you, them, and a representative from IVA. During that call we cover the job description, a few paperwork reminders, and then the Virtual Assistant is ready to begin! We provide educational resources to walk you through tax paperwork, account setups, onboarding meetings, a training plan, and more with your Virtual Assistant.

After our initial strategy call, we typically take 1-2 weeks to ensure you're paired with the perfect Virtual Assistant tailored to your needs. This period allows us to meticulously select, interview, and train candidates, ensuring a seamless integration into your operations.
