Virtual Assistant Talent

What Virtual Assistant Talent does

Virtual Assistant Talent is a privately held U.S.-based remote staffing company founded in 2009 by John Davern Jr. and headquartered in Fremont, California. The company connects small and mid-sized businesses — primarily entrepreneurs, real estate professionals, insurance agents, coaches, and eCommerce operators — with Filipino Virtual Assistants sourced from a curated network of more than 20,000 pre-screened candidates. Services span 30+ specialized categories split between non-technical roles (general admin, executive support, real estate, lead generation, bookkeeping, CRM management, content writing, social media) and technical roles (GoHighLevel management, SEO, digital marketing, web development, Shopify, Amazon FBA, WordPress tech support, funnel building, video editing).

The business operates on a subscription model with hourly pricing starting at $10.95/hr for non-technical VAs and $13.95/hr for technical VAs, structured as weekly or monthly packages of 10 to 40 hours with rollover. Ancillary fees include a $49-$99 setup fee, a $995 direct-hire placement fee, and a VA Replacement Guarantee. The underlying technology stack is built on third-party SaaS tools — GoHighLevel for CRM/pipeline management, time-tracking and reporting software, Zoom/Slack for communication, and integrations with ClickUp, Calendly, Acuity, HubSpot, Stripe, QuickBooks, AppFolio, Buildium, and Yardi — without proprietary platform IP or AI/ML components.

Go-to-market is sales-led via inside sales and free phone consultations, supported by a blog, webinar replays on LinkedIn lead generation topics, and testimonials. The company has served 3,000+ client assignments since inception and holds BBB A+ accredited status. It is entirely founder-owned, bootstrapped, and operates with a small internal team (11-50 employees); no external funding, acquisitions, or partnerships are disclosed.

Direct peers
