So pleased that you’ve started this conversation, james! I’m really keen to see more EAs publicly sharing their experiences with various PA services.
I’ve started using 3 remote personal/executive assistants for my work projects. Our remote assistants have been awesome and super useful...Happy to answer any questions
Do you know if these 3 have more capacity and if Virtalent UK allows clients to request specific VAs? (You’re the only person I’ve come across so far who’s given a completely positive review of a VA service—reviews tend to be pretty mixed and mildly positive/negative overall. Maybe Virtalent UK is just generally excellent or maybe you’ve found some especially great VAs—if it’s the latter, it would be awesome if others in the community could hire them!)
If working with a remote assistant doesn’t work out for you I think you’ll lose around £300 and 12 hours of your time in 1 month....Most remote assistant setups have very flexible monthly plans. You can start with just a few hours a week and scale up from there.
I just want to highlight to everyone that with Virtalent UK, the minimum you need to pay to try it out is indeed only £270 for 10 hours (I’d previously thought it was 10 hours a week i.e. more like £1150 and I think I told a few people as much—sorry!)
I don’t think my particular VAs have more capacity, but I believe Virtalent has other VAs ready to match with clients.
It is unclear to me whether I’ve just gotten lucky. But with Virtalent you can switch VA and the minimum commitment is very low, which is why I think the best strategy is just to try
