How quickly can I get a VA?

Most placements happen within 2–5 business days. VAConnect matches you with a pre-vetted VA from our managed pool, so there's no long hiring process.

What makes VAConnect different from freelance VA platforms?

VAConnect provides fully managed, dedicated VAs — not gig contractors. We handle HR, performance management, and continuity. Your VA is exclusive to you and backed by our operations team.

What hours do VAConnect VAs work?

Your VA works in your timezone. We match VAs who overlap with US, UK, Australian, Canadian, and Dutch business hours — typically full-time, 40 hours per week.

What if my VA doesn't work out?

We offer a free replacement guarantee. If your VA isn't the right fit, we rematch you at no extra cost.

Do I have to manage the VA myself?

No. VAConnect handles all HR, performance reviews, and day-to-day management. You brief your VA; we handle the rest.
