Browse Virtual Assistants →A virtual assistant (VA) is a remote professional who provides administrative, technical, or creative support to businesses and entrepreneurs from anywhere in the world. Instead of hiring a full-time employee with overhead costs like office space, benefits, and equipment, a VA delivers the same productivity at a fraction of the price. Whether you are a solo founder drowning in emails, a growing ecommerce brand struggling to keep up with customer inquiries, or an executive who needs a second brain to manage a packed schedule, a virtual assistant becomes an extension of your team.
The tasks a VA can handle span virtually every aspect of business operations. Here are the most common services you can hire a virtual assistant for on GoHireHumans:
Many businesses start by delegating a single task — like email management — and quickly realize the value of having a dedicated VA. From there, the relationship grows to cover scheduling, customer support, and beyond. If you also need specialized data entry support, GoHireHumans has dedicated professionals for that as well.
Freelance marketplaces like Upwork, Fiverr, and Freelancer.com have dominated the hiring landscape for years — but they take a massive cut of every transaction. GoHireHumans was built as the better alternative. When you hire a virtual assistant through us, more of your budget goes directly to the person doing the work, which means better talent, better results, and better value for your business.
The lowest fee in the industry. Fiverr charges employers and freelancers a combined 27.7%. Upwork charges freelancers up to 18.5%. On GoHireHumans, you pay just 4% — your VA keeps more, and you spend less on platform overhead.
Every payment is held in milestone-based escrow until you approve the work. Your money stays safe, and your VA gets paid promptly upon delivery. No disputes, no risk.
Every virtual assistant on GoHireHumans is verified. Browse real profiles with skill assessments, work history, and ratings from previous clients before making a decision.
GoHireHumans is the first marketplace built for the AI economy. Hire human VAs, AI agents, or combine both for maximum productivity via MCP and REST API.
Not all virtual assistants are the same. The right VA depends on your industry, the complexity of tasks, and the level of expertise you need. Here are the most common types of virtual assistants available on GoHireHumans:
Email, scheduling, data entry, filing, and day-to-day office tasks
C-suite calendar management, travel coordination, meeting prep, and project oversight
Product listings, inventory management, order fulfillment, and customer service for online stores
Lead follow-up, listing coordination, CRM management, and transaction support
Invoicing, expense tracking, bank reconciliation, and financial reports in QuickBooks or Xero
Content scheduling, community engagement, analytics reporting, and basic graphic creation
The key to a successful VA relationship is starting with clearly defined tasks and expectations. Begin with a trial period of one to two weeks, assign specific deliverables, and provide detailed instructions for recurring work. As trust builds, expand the scope. The most productive VA partnerships often evolve into long-term arrangements where the assistant deeply understands your business, anticipates your needs, and operates with increasing autonomy.
Need content created alongside your VA work? Consider pairing your virtual assistant with a freelance writer who can handle blog posts, email campaigns, and website copy while your VA manages the rest.
VA rates vary widely depending on experience, specialization, and location. Because GoHireHumans charges only a 4% employer fee, your budget stretches dramatically further than on platforms like Fiverr or Upwork. Here are the typical ranges you can expect:
