Cost to Hire a Virtual Assistant in Chicago

Typical virtual assistant companies in Chicago require you to purchase set plans with a package of allotted hours you can work with your VA. Other services gate-keep your VA’s identity until you’ve committed to a plan.

We’ll share personalized candidate matches and take care of scheduling your interviews— for free. We only charge our one-time $575 Placement Fee if you decide to hire one of our candidates. No ongoing plans or minimum commitments. You’ll enjoy direct communication with your VA, in whatever method is best for you.
