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 do things differently because we believe the strongest working relationships are built on strong interpersonal dynamics.
With The Middle, you can speak directly with your virtual assistant candidates without any commitment. 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.
You pay your VA their hourly wages directly. A virtual personal assistant in Chicago is typically looking for $25-35/hr.
