You've decided you need help. Your inbox is overflowing, your calendar is a mess, and you're missing out on growth opportunities. Now the question is: where do you actually find a good virtual assistant in the Raleigh-Durham area?
Option 1: Task-Based Platforms
Platforms like Upwork or Fiverr are often the first stop. They offer a huge variety of talent, but the quality is wildly inconsistent. You'll spend hours sifting through resumes and potentially deal with high turnover.
Option 2: US-Based Agencies
Domestic agencies provide more vetting, but they are expensive — often $40–$60/hr. For many Triangle startups, this pricing makes long-term support difficult to justify.
Option 3: Nearshore Staffing via Strivana
Strivana hit the 'sweet spot' for Triangle businesses. We match you with pre-vetted professionals from Latin America who work your exact hours for 70% less than a local hire.
- Curated Matching: We find the talent for you.
- Rigorous Vetting: Only the top 1% make it to our clients.
- US Time Zone: Your VA is available when you are.
