Updated quarterly. Last refresh: May 2026.
What you get
A single PDF with 3 anonymized candidate profiles: EA, bookkeeper, sales SDR. Each profile is 1 to 2 pages with role, years of experience, software fluency, monthly rate, and work-history summary. Emailed within 1 business day. No sales call required, no obligation. If you want a role-specific shortlist instead, mention it on the form and we will follow up with 2 to 3 additional matched profiles within 2 business days.
Why we email instead of letting you download
Three reasons. First, most of the people in the pack are currently placed with other clients. We will not publish their details on a public download page. Sending them by email keeps the pack out of search results and scrapers. Second, when you email us, we know what role you are exploring, so we can include a 4th profile matched to your actual need if it differs from the standard pack. Third, it lets us reply to your message directly. Most prospects have one specific question, and an email exchange is a faster way to answer it than a 15-min call.
What we will not do: add you to a drip sequence, call you uninvited, or sell your email. One reply with the pack, and then it is your move.
Pricing reality check
The rates in the pack are real. SA virtual assistants through VirtuHire run $1,200 to $2,800 per month full-time. Representative placements:
- Carmen, EA: $1,600/mo
- Chantel, order processing and customer support: $1,200/mo
- Tom, outbound sales: $2,200/mo
- Eugene, GTM engineering: $2,800/mo
For comparison, a comparable US-based hire fully loaded runs $4,500 to $9,500 per month. The cost gap is real, the work product is comparable, and the candidates in the pack are representative of who actually shows up on a shortlist.
Frequently asked questions
Are these real candidates?
Yes. Each profile in the pack is built from a real placement or shortlisted candidate we have screened. Names and identifying details are anonymized, but the experience, software fluency, rates, and work history are accurate. We anonymize because most of these people are currently placed, and we will not share their full details until you have an active role we are matching them to.
Can I interview the people shown in the pack?
Sometimes. The pack is a representative sample so you can see what our talent pool looks like, not a live shortlist. If you want to interview a specific profile, mention it on the intake call and we will confirm availability. More often we build a fresh shortlist for your exact role, which takes 5 business days.
How fresh are these profiles?
We refresh the pack every quarter. The active engagement and placement numbers in the pack reflect our August 2025 figures: 272 active engagements, 750+ placements made, 93% retention. Rates and software fluency are current. If you want a same-week, role-specific shortlist instead of a representative sample, book a 15-min call and we start the search the same day.
What if I want a role not shown in the pack?
Reply to the email with what you are hiring for. We place across EA, bookkeeping, sales, customer support, ops, marketing, light technical, and some engineering roles. If your role fits our talent pool, we will send 2 to 3 additional profiles matched to your scope within 2 business days, no call required.
How long does the actual placement process take?
5 business days from intake call to a pre-vetted shortlist of 3 candidates. You interview, choose, and sign a placement contract with a one-month deposit. Onboarding starts the next business day. Total elapsed time from intake call to your VA at their desk is typically 10 to 14 business days.
Skip the pack, go straight to a shortlist?
Book a 15-minute call. We learn your role, scope, and tools, then send a pre-vetted shortlist of 3 candidates in 5 business days.
