How to use this hub
Each industry page below covers the seats that vertical actually hires, the tools those staff work in, and the rate band for the role. The role pages are the entry point if you know the job title but not the vertical. Either way the path is the same: book a 15-minute call, we learn the seat, and we send a pre-vetted shortlist of 3 candidates in 5 business days.

Frequently asked questions
Which industries does VirtuHire staff?
VirtuHire staffs US companies across ecommerce, healthcare, insurance, legal, marketing agencies, property management, real estate, SaaS, accounting firms, and the home services trades (HVAC, plumbing, roofing). Each industry page covers the specific seats that vertical hires, the tools those staff work in, and the rate band. If your business does not map cleanly to one of these pages, the core roles still apply, so book a call and we will point you to the right fit.
Do you handle regulated verticals like legal, healthcare, and insurance?
Yes. We staff legal, healthcare, and insurance with the scope set to the compliance line for each. Legal placements handle paralegal, intake, document review, billing, and calendar work and stay clear of anything that crosses into the practice of law. Healthcare placements cover receptionist, billing, insurance verification, and patient coordination. Insurance placements cover CSR support, policy admin, claims paperwork, and renewals. See each industry page for the detail on what stays in-house.
How do rates vary by role?
Placements run roughly $1,200 to $3,500 per month full-time depending on the seat and the skill density it needs. General VA and dispatcher seats sit at the lower end, executive assistants and bookkeepers in the middle, and specialist or engineering roles toward the top. Each industry and role page shows the band for that seat, and the full rate card by role is on the pricing page.
Do you place full-time or fractional staff?
The default is dedicated full-time, one placement committed to one client. Some seats with lower volume can work on fewer hours, but most US teams hire full-time because the context a dedicated person builds is the value. Tell us your expected volume on the intro call and we will size the seat honestly rather than oversell a full FTE you do not need.
What timezone coverage do South African staff give?
South Africa is 6 to 7 hours ahead of US Eastern. Staff on a roughly 1pm to 9pm local shift overlap your US morning and early afternoon, which covers daily standup, live calls, dispatch windows, and same-day handoffs. That overlap is one of the main reasons US teams pick South Africa, since the workday lines up with US business hours rather than running entirely overnight.
How does vetting work?
You book a free intro call and share what the seat needs. We put a simple agreement in place and send a pre-vetted shortlist of 3 candidates with video intros in 5 business days. You interview and choose. The video intros let you judge English, communication, and fit before any interview, so you are not screening a raw applicant pool yourself.
Is there a replacement guarantee?
Yes. Every placement comes with a 30-day replacement guarantee at no extra cost. If the placement is not the right fit in the first 30 days, we replace them without an additional fee. Because VirtuHire runs the full Employer of Record, payroll, contracts, and compliance sit with us, so a replacement does not create severance or offboarding work on your side.
How do I pick the right page for my business?
Start from your industry if one of the vertical pages matches, since those cover the exact seats, tools, and rate bands for that business type. If you know the job title but not the vertical, start from the role pages instead: offshore VA, executive assistant, bookkeeper, or SDR. Either path leads to the same intro call, where we confirm the seat and send a shortlist in 5 business days.
What roles are available?
Across the industries we serve, common seats include general virtual assistants, executive assistants, sales development reps, customer support, bookkeepers, operations coordinators, designers, paralegals, dispatchers, and specialist or technical roles. The four core role pages cover offshore VA, executive assistant, bookkeeper, and SDR. Placement examples include Carmen (EA, $1,600/mo), Tom (Sales, $2,200/mo), Eugene (GTM Lead Engineer, $2,800/mo), and Chantel (Order Processing, $1,200/mo).
How does onboarding work?
After you choose a candidate from the shortlist, a one-month deposit confirms the hire and the monthly retainer starts when the placement begins work. VirtuHire handles the full Employer of Record on the South African side: contracts, payroll, onboarding, equipment, and compliance. You bring the placement into your own tools and workflows, and they start in the seat you scoped on the intro call.
